On the pitch, it did not go too well as the Seals were 3-0 down at half-time, had six booked and one sent off as their four-game winning league run came to an end.

But it was hardly a surprise after such an eventful motorway journey to the north-east.

The Chester team bus suffered a tyre blowout just past Birch Services on the M62 but the fans' coach was travelling behind them - and the supporters came to the rescue.

The players got off the team bus, boarded the coach with the fans - and were then transported 24 miles on to the next services at Hartshead Moor, while the team bus driver waited behind to attend to the puncture.


The team bus, duly repaired, then reappeared to cart the players the remaining 82 miles to Blackwell Meadow, Darlington.

Having arrived in time for the scheduled 15:00 GMT kick-off, Callum McIntyre's side were then caught cold by strugglers Darlo in a nightmare first half.

But they made up for it with a second-half revival, including 10 minutes of added time, in which Chester nearly grabbed a draw.

And they hope they will be fully back on track when they make the same journey up the M62 for their next game this Tuesday night - the FA Cup first round replay with York City, after drawing 0-0 at the Deva Stadium a week ago.]]>

Chester have had a mixed start to the season and have 7 points from 3 games. However they have had a win and a draw in their last two games.
Hereford having achieved the same amount in their first three games have failed to get any more in their next 4 games losing to the bottom club Southport at home last Saturday.

Should be a tight game and for any Bulls fans going I think you need to buy tickets ahead of the game due to a stadium reduced capacity at present.

Chester have started well with a win and a draw in their first two games whereas we have just scrambled a 3.3 draw in our first game at home to Spennymoor. Get your tactics right Gowling...........

During this meeting, the Club was given a joint letter on behalf of North Wales Police and Flintshire County Council which outlines potential breaches of Welsh Coronavirus Regulations at our fixtures on 28th December 2021 and 2nd January 2022.

It also states the Club may commit further potential breaches if it continues to play home fixtures with crowds while the current restrictions in Wales remain in place.

We were informed this was based upon direction from the Welsh Government that the premises of Chester Football Club are governed by the Welsh Regulations. The Welsh Government was not represented at the meeting.

It was agreed that all parties would seek further legal advice given the complex issues and future implications of any outcome.

We will provide a further update to our supporters as soon as we are able to.]]>

Defender Sam Hughes and striker James Alabi have both been offered improved deals by City, who finished 19th. But the club understand that both players "will explore their options" as they are interesting several league clubs.

The six to be let go are Chester's former Wrexham trio, winger Elliott Durrell and defenders Blaine Hudson and Johnny Hunt, as well as defenders Ross Killock and Kieran Evans and striker Kane Richards.]]>
