Traf Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Anybody else struggling for sympathy for them? Entrance and club shop is in England, but stands & pitch are in Wales. Yet they want the ground to fall under English Law so they can have fans in. They chose to build the ground mainly in Wales, possibly because of all the grant money available. There was other land available within the English border, they've made their bed, they should lie in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Faustus Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Not an ounce of sympathy. They want their Welsh cakes and eat em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I have as it is a joke especially when Wexham are allowed to travel in numbers to games in England. If you go down to that area you would see it is industrial estates etc. it is a load of bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 11, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2022 Their address is Chester, with a Chester post code. When reformed, they received the support of Cheshire West and Chester Council which granted a lease of the stadium. Don't care what boundaries it straddles, it seems to me that it meets the technical requirements of being in England. Fuck Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The City is English. They are registered with the English FA. Any fees are paid into the English FA. The English police manage their games. They have reveived NO money from the Welsh Govt., Welsh FA, Flintshire Council. Their rates are paid to Cheshire. EVER. The ground on the border has proven uncontrovertial since it was built. 30 years ago. Until last Friday. If the Welsh lay claim to it they will owe Cheshire Police 30 years money, the Welsh FA will owe them a host grants & support, including various Covid grants which they've never requested, discussed or been offered. Plus, & I say this as a local, living 2 miles into the Welsh border for almost 40 years and I believe this is crucial, incontrovertible and a closing argument ... the Welsh are wankers.

It’s literally only the club offices that are in England though, the rest is in Wales. It does highlight the ridiculousness of having different rules for England and Wales, but given they got financial support from the Welsh government and their alcohol licence is issued by Flintshire Council, you’d think they’d have been well aware of the potential for such a situation. That said, if their safety certificate is issued by Cheshire Council then that should deem it an English stadium as far as I’m concerned.

stevieb Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Apart from @Big Es brother... Who gives a fuck! 🤣 I hope they get crowds in just to piss drakeford off because he wanted to get one over Boris and he can't. Poundland Sturgeon that lad. And he looks like a shit Roy Hodgson.

Max Cherry Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I have sympathy for them. Chester is in England always will be. Wrexham on other hand Welsh. Hate the English but happy to play in England take our money otherwise they would be playing in Crappy Welsh League with mostly one man and his sheep type crowds and zero interest outside Welsh Wales. Plus have Chester FC actually had any money from Welsh Government? They wouldn't give us the time of day normally and feelings mutual.

pauldeva Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Sympathy for Chester? Of course, we should have. The Welsh government and media are pushing this. The rivalry between Chester and Wrexham is as fierce as anything you see because its not just about football. The fact is, if its about covid restrictions then English law should prevail. The vast majority of fans live in Chester obviously, and travel from there. They are policed by Cheshire police, Chester council provide the safety certificate. And its a community club, we should support them. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0bgmm3k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
