Thank You to All our Volunteers

Following a difficult season I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our volunteers who have devoted many hours of time and effort to our football club.

Without doubt, we would not survive without the countless numbers of fans who help to run our club.

Obviously relegation is very disappointing but we have the opportunity to re-group and prepare to bounce back next season.

With this in mind we have set up a working party led by John Martin to look at how we organise and utilise our volunteers for the future and that group will report back to the board at the end of May.

We will be holding a volunteers event prior to the next season as a thank you to all of our volunteers, details will follow shortly.

On the positive side I am happy to report that our club will be looking to make a small profit at the end of the financial year.

Once again thanks for your continued efforts and hopefully we can look forward to a successful season.

Tony Durkin

New Kit : Board Statement

Board statement

As previously shared with members, the current kit agreement was re-negotiated in January 2013 to reduce contracted volumes following review by the Chester FC Board.  On that basis we proceeded with a kit vote earlier in the year.

We anticipated that a bespoke kit could be supplied at the reduced volume. However, the kit supplier has recently advised that a large minimum order is required for production reasons. The volumes required would significantly exceed previous sales of shirts and represents a major financial liability for the Club.  Despite extensive negotiation the Board have been left with no alternative but to go for a non bespoke kit for next season.
