Chester's guide on how not to run a football club
 

Chester Fans United have held an inquiry into what made them almost wind up again this season, and have conducted a review and released a report into the big mess.

The report appears restricted to CFU members so sadly can't be linked to until it leaks out.

More seriously is it possible for us to 'reach out' hands-across-the-border to the other half of their ground to grab a copy and see if there is anything raised that could be used to improve best practice this end?

Or, could we do some Board Sans Frontières style aid drop on our documentation/constitutions/etc to help them out? :jester:

Problems are shit support and an out of town soulless box. People in Chester are more into rugger,croquet , hockey etc. Tristan and clarissa are not bothered with footy

Might not be too wrong there, the top thread on their forum right now is about Aston Villa.

Sometimes you gamble and Lose.
Villa gambled and Lost. Sounds like they won't be gambling next season.

Your board have done a fantastic job and we do look on that with envy.

We seem to have a new chairman/board every six months sadly
