About our Chester FC news
Latest news on Chester FC, the fan-owned football club playing in National League North at the Deva Stadium, known as "The Seals" and reformed in 2010 after Chester City FC.
Chester Football Club stands as a testament to the power of fan ownership in English football. Founded in 2010 after the dissolution of Chester City FC, the club has established itself as a significant presence in the National League North, playing their home games at the historic Deva Stadium with a capacity of 5,400.
The club competes in the sixth tier of English football, maintaining a strong community focus under the ownership of City Fans United. Their unique stadium situation, straddling the England-Wales border, adds an distinctive element to their identity, with the pitch itself situated in Wales while the main entrance and car park remain in England.
Chester FC's supporter base remains one of their greatest strengths, with the club regularly drawing impressive crowds to the Deva Stadium. The team's mascot, 'Big Lupus', reflects the city's historical connection to Hugh d'Avranches, nicknamed 'Lupus', while their blue and white striped home kit maintains the traditional colours associated with Chester football.
The club's history, though relatively brief, has been marked by notable achievements, including three consecutive promotions in their first three seasons of existence.
