Some of the bellends on the Kiddie forum are seriously suggesting some sort of conspiracy on our part. They would be relishing playing us after conceding 8 goals. We would be thinking the same but the evidence is there to see that we can't stage any games at the moment so it puts those conspiracy theories to bed.

If that was the case then why didn't we do this last season

Airbus of course. Similar searing capacity. More silly goaty boy stuff on here. I don't think it come to that but if it did we'd look at somewhere decent. Crewe? Macc? Highly doubt it though. You get the replies that you deserve ! I find it all rather starage that this "damage" was caused by a little weather just at the time your team has collapsed into a laughing stock so gets a little breather to re group ?
Any way as for our Racecourse ground its fine thank you and except for the Kop is in rather good condition and there are lots of plans to improve the oldests professional footy ground in the world soon and the Kop will be re developed in time. I expect you could play your games at Warrington if you are stuck but you will never be allowed to play at the Racecourse we just dont want you there and neither would the police .

It would never be up for discussion. The weather was severe on and off for 3 hours and as said above the shoddy jobs Vaughan did over the years has taken its toll.

More rain forecast for later on today. I hope the cause of the flood has been located and repaired ? Excellent point, and not as yet any information in such regard. It is disappointing that no official communication in regard to the source of leak has occurred. Has it been identified? Has it been repaired? Driers scheduled on site today, so why has this taken three days? There have been valid complaints in the past regarding lack of clear communication. Surely we need to know. Ironically, TV last night talked of top clubs not needing any spectators in order to be financially viable. We are at the other end of the spectrum and need all the income possible from home games. Surely we can do a “Marine” and run a home game from a ground with three sides. I think thd club have communicated very well during this nightmare. Assessors were there yesterday from the insurance company looking at the damage I believe? No work could be carried out though as the mains board was soaking which has to dry out first because as everyone knows, or should know, electric and water don't mix well. As with any insurance claims you've got to wait for the ok from the insurance company before you can press on with repair work otherwise you risk invalidating the claim. All our infrastructure is located in the East Stand, and the east stand is shut. No way it would be possible to operate with just 3 stands. When you have for example the electrics (which are out of order), the PA system, the control room, the changing rooms, the bar, the LL, hospitality for match sponsors and LL members season ticket holders etc etc etc. Not workable imo

My knowledge of insurance claims includes the immediate taking of steps to safeguard the situation with a stopgap or temporary repair. Has this happened, or will the next raincloud cause further damage? PA systems as well as other necessary systems are readily available for hire. Open air music festivals for example.

I've just got back home after missing every game since Morecambe and was looking forward to taking in three home games to end the month. Few hours later and the stadium's u/s and games postponed!

You forget to mention that the water fell downwards and you suspect gravity played its part!

I know it isn't a conspiracy, but looking on the bright side it gives Ron and Reg the chance to get every single one of them useless bastards from Saturday running up and down the river path with a tractor tyre on their backs for 2 hours tomorrow and Thursday. Absolute quality Macka 😂😂😂

Slightly disappointed this doesn't mention the likely situation for Saturday. Seems pretty impossible that the game can take place at our ground, so alternatively the game needs to be moved to FCUM if agreeable (although can understand it's too short a turnaround for them) or rearranged. Either way, with 3 days to go people need to know so that they can plan their weekends. I suppose the good thing is that it's early enough in the season to find an alternative date, rather than towards the end of the season which could cause a backlog of fixtures. Plus we get some nice new equipment from the insurance company! The negative side of it is that the players could get rusty with 2 weeks without a game, and stewing on the Blyth horror show, and potential loss of earnings with sponsors and reduced attendance given that the match would likely end up being played on a Tuesday night at a time when the weather is not as kind and more footy on tv. What an absolute ballache. My understanding is that FC were asked, but they have declined citing precisely that

Really not surprised about that. Kiddy re arranged fixture will be off too I'm sure. We then have a while before the next home game vs Hereford (27th August Bank Holiday) to get things back into shape.

Seriously I do hope you sort the ground problems out soon as non of the decent Chester supporters deserve what has gone on at the club over the last few seasons and lets face it we have had much the same in the past and I recall your idiots laughing at us at the time . Why cant your recent rich supporter who talked about infrastructure investement come to the rescue and get the ground sorted out quickly ?

From CFC OWS -
Further to today’s midday press announcement released in conjunction with the National League and FC United of Manchester regarding the decision to postpone the weekends match, Chester Football Club would like to provide a further update on the situation at Swansway Chester Stadium caused by flooding.
Whilst understanding supporters’ frustration regarding the postponement of the FC United match, this decision is not one that can be made internally in isolation by a club and requires consultation with the National League and the Safety Advisory Group collectively. The decision was made in relation to safety of the stadium for players and spectators alike. In light of this an inspection of the Club offices took place this morning by a delegation from the National League and the decision was made, following discussion with FC United, to postpone this weekend’s fixture.
Any decision on the Kidderminster Harriers game (Tuesday 21st August) along with any subsequent fixtures will be communicated at the earliest possible stage based on the requirement to work closely in tandem with the National League and Safety Advisory Group. They will make the ultimate decision on this matter in conjunction with ourselves. However, Chester Football Club are committed to minimising disruption to supporters caused by late postponements and continue to work around the clock to return the ground to a state where it can host matches.
Until such a time that the critical safety systems such as Turnstile Calculators and CCTV and Tannoy Systems are restored, the Club would be in breach of its safety certificate to open any area of the ground allowing a fixture to take place. Opening unaffected sections only is not an option.
In regards to the stadium itself, at present work to dry out areas affected by flooding continues following the arrival of driers yesterday. Work on restoring the electrical supply and assessing any damage to the CCTV and Public Address systems will commence once it has been deemed safe to do so which we hope will be in the coming days.
Given that – as a safety measure – the admin block within the East Stand has been closed, the Chester FC Club Ticket Office and Shop will not be open until the beginning of next week at the earliest and the reopening will be communicated at such a time that this happens.

No point wasting it when we have insurance, it’s lasted considering what Vaughan’s cowboys have done. Now we’re getting it done properly with sparkles shiny new tiles.

Further statement today about electrics, and driers now working, but still no mention of the cause of the flood, or whether it has been repaired. Genuine question but being ignored. I have yet to hear of a leak that has repaired itself. Straightforward communication hoped for, rather than speculative or flippant responses from others equally ill informed.

Surely there is time enough for the Kiddy game to be switched to there place next Tuesday otherwise um jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon For the Kidderminster game to be switched, the League, both clubs and the local safety advisory group would have to consent. There is no way Kiddy will want to switch the Chester fixture, to which at least 500 will travel on a Saturday, to a Tuesday at 3 days notice which will attract 100 visitors and a reduced home gate. It would knock in my opinion 600 or so off the gate, average £10 a person, plus food etc. They would lose upward of £8000. Sorry no conspiracy, just plain old financials.

Mate, honestly.....do you need to know everything? The weather was bad, it caused damage, it’s getting sorted by the insurance company.....why do you need the specifics? There is nobody to blame other than Mother Nature and likely Vaughan’s shoddy cowboy builders patching things up over the years. The club have communicated appropriately, they outlined the damage, showed pictures, briefed us on developments as soon as they can.
