This morning, CFU committee members Chris Pilsbury, Mike Vickers, David Evans, and Jim Green, met with officials from Cheshire West and Chester Council, at the HQ Building in Chester.
In that meeting, the CFU proposal for the lease to the Deva Stadium was put forward and will now be considered by CWaC officials.
We have been advised that a final decision will be made early next week, which will be in time for our finalised application to be sent to the Football Association.
The three main party candidates for Chester today came out supporting the bid by City Fans United for the lease on the Deva Stadium, ahead of Thursday’s crunch meeting with Cheshire West and Chester council.

City Fans United last night received an invitation from Cheshire West & Chester Council to attend a meeting next Thursday (29th April) to review our application for the lease to the Deva Stadium.

City Fans United maintain the upmost confidence in our detailed proposal and we believe that our vision for a fully community integrated club will ensure that Chester Football Club is something the whole city can be proud of.

City Fans United would like to advise its members and Chester FC fans that a planned meeting with Cheshire West & Chester Council has been deferred to next week, following the submission of CFU’s lease application to bring Chester FC to the Deva Stadium.
We believe that this will allow CWaC sufficient time to come to a decision on the lease, and we continue to be confident that our application for the lease to the Deva Stadium will be approved within this timeframe.
A further statement will be released in due course.
