Chester FC

[Swanseafan]

Seems the Welsh government have refused Chester any financial help. They say Chester are an English club. If they are an English club why do they have to follow Welsh government rules? If they are a welsh club why are the Welsh government refusing financial help.

Please can Drakeford step forward and decide one way or another.

It’s not about being a Welsh or English club though.
If we arranged to play our games in Bristol, we could have fans attend
If Bristol arranged to have their home games played in Swansea, they would not be allowed fans.
It wouldn’t make Swansea an English club or Bristol a Welsh club

It’s an anomaly of where Chester’s pitch is. If the rules state no fans can attend games in Wales, then Chester shouldn’t be allowed fans.
IMO, Chester should be allowed their fans to attend. It’s ridiculous

I find it odd that the border seems to bend around the pitch. Was the border there before the ground was built? I assume it was and the border happened to bend at that point anyway. Or was it moved slightly so the structure wasn’t straddling the border?

I seen it somewhere the river as it was ex amount of years ago (1800s) was the boundary and that is why the border meanders like it does, not sure if that is true or not but sounds as if it might be.
