I went to the relaunch do, bond money and CFU money in pocket, listened to a great presentation then it came to Q&A. A good friend of mine and a Chester veteran of 40+ years asked a simple question "how are we going to fund promotion?" he was shot down in pieces told how lucky he was to have a club to support etc etc. After leaving his contact details and informing the righteous ones that he would not be attending any further matches until he got an answer, we and several others left without our bonds or memberships. To this day he has not attended a match and in hindsight where would/could we be now if the CFU had a plan for funding promotion back in the day. Me, I attend games when I want to but will never sign up to CFU. I felt alienated from this "our club,community..." at the time and still do but will always support Chester. Depends why specifically he felt affronted - was it the perhaps condescending response you allude to above? It surely can't have been due to a lack of ambition with funding promotion considering we're now financially crippled because we blew all our money on a record three successive promotions...

I wonder how many Board members either read or contribute to Deva Chat.

I signed up back in 2010, although stopped around 2013 ish. Just felt a bit distant, and have done ever since. I still attend every home game, and nearby away ones too. I didn't expect to vote on what crisps we serve in the blues bar, but I had zero communication with what was going on at my club. It seems we still don't have a clue today!
