Chester City suspended from Conference

Chester City suspended from Conference

Looks like the sign of things to come, as Chester City who have been struggling since their relegation to the Conference, now find themselves suspended from the league for 7 days.

It came to a head when players refused to play against Forest Green having not been paid. Then the game this Saturday against Wrexham was forced to be postponed after the local authority issued a prohibition notice on the Deva Stadium after police refused to man the game over an unpaid bill.

Are we likely to see this further up the leagues, most notable at moment are Portsmouth, Cardiff and Notts County. They are all facing action from HMRC over unpaid tax bills.

Who will be the first big club to go and is this the start of the football bubble bursting ?

I think that this will happen to others in the near future if we dont get out of this recession

Well they've now been officially kicked out of the Conference.

There's a really good overview of what's been going on at Chester City over the past few months and their dodgy dodgy owner Stephen Vaughn here:

the fans were talking about reforming another team a few weeks ago, looks like the only option now
