City Fans United, the fans group for supporters of Chester City FC, have pledged to rebuild should the club be forced out of existence due to ongoing financial problems. They have the support of Christine Russell MP who has raised the plight of Chester City FC directly with the Sports Minister, Gerry Sutcliffe.

With the club facing possible expulsion from the Conference on 30th November and with further signs that the financial situation at the club is dire, the fans have set wheels in motion to rebuild a new Chester Football Club should the current set-up become extinct.

With further information emerging that the players have not been paid for a second month and that the Harry Mcnally Terrace has been closed due to stewards being required for other games based in the North West on Saturday, fans are wondering how long the club can continue to lurch from crisis to calamity.

Following recent public meetings, fans of Chester City football club have called for contingency plans to be made should the football club face future financial difficulties.
