From what I understand, it will be mainly youth development players with a handful of first teamers.
It would be great to get a big crowd there. It'll be free entry but with collection buckets for Blacon Youth - a club that requires donations just as much as Chester FC.
Hoping for a great evening for both clubs and hopefully a few more Chester fans to come out of it.
There's a few ideas to be planned out but here's the Facebook status to start us.
"Blacon Youth v Chester FC
Our hometown club is visiting Cairns!
On Wednesday 18th July (kick off 7pm) we'll be hosting Chester FC in a pre-season friendly.
Both of the club's have the community at heart and we want to celebrate that. We'll have a BBQ and a bouncy castle for the kids as well a raffle for the chance to win a signed Chester FC top including our very own Gary Roberts.
Gary, amongst other first team players, will be involved in what will be a robust challenge for our lads.
Ourselves, along with Chester, would love to show Blacon how important community togetherness is and urge you all to come down, enjoy the atmosphere and support both clubs before we go into our respective seasons looking for silverware!
OUR CLUBS, OUR COMMUNITY."

Quick update on the game. Whilst it's a predominantly academy team from Chester, BYFC are hopefully of a good crowd and the chance to raise a couple of quid themselves. Blacon are planning on improving their own facilities during the next season and push for north west counties. They can get a grant of £10k if they raise £5k themselves so every penny will help. Be great to see loads of Blues supporting two clubs that do a lot for our community's. They've created a poster... 🔵⚽

Yeah he should be having a good run out along with others who haven't features as much so far in pre-season.
Also a chance to see our future stars, and a few of Blacon's own stars.

Why does the poster have to bring bloody Wrexham into it. Focus on our clubs and leave the goaty boys to it!

Will any more of the first team be involved in this?

It isn't listed as a first team fixture so I suspect Gary Roberts plus the youth team.
