Really think this obsession with the Town Hall 6 or whatever you want to call it has gone too far, that was just a group of lads who got together and wanted to spread the word a bit in the city, yes it was a low turnout but it was never a proper protest. Some of our fans got a match abandoned to highlight the club's woes that season don't forget. Having fought to keep Chester City alive in 1999 when looking seriously in danger of initially going under my conscience is clear.
Weren't the lads that got the match abandoned subsequently banned by the new club.

Any match between us adds a few thousand to the gate and generates a lot of interest. It is only the less intelligent followers of both clubs who see this as a platform for violence and hatred. Wrexham would be less of a football club without Chester and vice versa. And we are both supporting a model of ownership that defines the purest sense of a "football club". Like it or not, having a bitter rival down the road is actually better for us (and them) than not having one.
Good post

Aldershot have had money from Chelsea in the past, whose reserve and women's teams have played there. That said I don't know if that's still the case in terms of financial support.

Am all for baiting Chester at times but agree it's not really the time, we need to worry more about ourselves first at the moment.

This weird obsession both clubs has of scoring cheap shots really is embarrassing and does make you wonder about the intelligence of some people. This rivalry really has been ruined for me and is too petty. Tranmere is always a far better game and atmosphere anyway

Good grief. Sticking the boot in or genuine opinions and thoughts?

There's a huge difference.

We're a few defeats away from the atmosphere here being similar to that at Chester. Don't kid yourself.

Cestrian - when your happy with 2 results a season regardless then its no wonder.

St Miliners day WTF and still one of your highest points.

Both sets of fans should appreciate what we have both been through.
