Ruptured his ACL according to Twitter. Shame for the lad, hope he gets fit and playing again hopefully by Christmas.

Dreadful news for Matty. Not an injury you can try and hurry either.

Shame that, leaves him without a club for a long time too so that’s a major blow.
At least he’s got the right person at home to help him through it.

Terrible news. How about a crowd funder to help pay for his rehab/ expenses while he's out of contract. Strikes me as the sort of initiative that would show the club/fans in a good light.

I think that's a superb idea. It doesn't matter that he isn't our player currently. Spoke to Matty a few times and he's a great lad so think this would be a nice touch from our fanbase.

His partner hasn't spoken too kindly of Curzon

Was sort of thinking the same, I do understand the suggestion of donating to an extent but he hasn’t been our player for what, two years? I’m sure he’ll be getting his rehab training with us later this year though, likely with a view to signing him.

Certainly wouldn't want to discourage anyone from setting up a crowdfunder. Regardless of whose responsibility it is, it would just be a kind thing to do.

According to his partner on Twitter he's had zero support from Curzon

To be fair to Curzon, isn't he out of contract with them now?
Tough for the lad, but it might come down to whether ourselves or Curzon are willing/able to offer a contract to a player who might not be back in action for some time.

That is exactly the point Lobster. I'm a big fan of Waters but on a purely footballing/business point of view should we be potentially giving a contract to a player who's likely to be unavailable until later in the season?

He was injured whilst playing for us, so we should definitely look to help him out via a crowdfunder. When he's gone through his rehab you'd hope the club would allow him to train with us too. I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting we offer him a contract though?

I think the key issue here is that the lad was injured playing for us, irrespective of whether he was on a contract or not. He finds himself in a sort of limbo now. Trying to move it on, would anyone who has experience of this type of fundraising be willing to take it on or at least offer some advice on the best platform? Also what target is set. There does seem to be some appetite but the last thing we want is a damp squib. My feeling is that we should keep this as a one off fans' initiative so it doesn't distract from club fundraising. Thoughts?

Thoughts? Just looked up Paddy Lacey's ACL fundraiser from 2021. It aimed to raise £4k for an operation and ended up over that amount - www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/paddylacy1?utm_term=rjxJDYK5R The club promoted it on the official website too - www.chesterfc.com/2021/02/12/fundraising-support-paddy-lacey-through-his-injury/ No reason we can't do both again. I imagine it would be good to confirm what Waters's treatment needs are first though.

It shocks me that Curzon Ashton don't seem to want to bear any responsibility for him as his parent club by helping him with his recovery, Yes he was on loan with us but they allowed that knowing the risks. I would hope our club would take more responsibility for our young players we send out on loan if they get injured, as his parent club they really have turned their back on him by releasing him. Like i say i will donate and now i hope as a club we can help him out because Curzon Ashton have shown ther true colours and are shit, wishing you well Matty.

Wonder if Heywood might start the season as our left back and Matty might be offered a 6 month contract once he's proven his fitness?

Don't think he was offered a renewal. If the plan was for him to come here when his loan finished then it would be reasonable for our club to help with his rehab with a view to offering him a contract when fit again.

Curzon have done nothing to help him since his injury he's had zero support from them

Another example of our club's excellent ethos currently. Plus, we might end up with a decent player who is even more committed to what we are doing at Chester.

It's the right thing to do, and shows Curzon for the heartless bastards they are.

Word gets out quickly around Non League circles regarding clubs, the way they do things and fanbases. Seeing how Chester supporters have helped Paddy Lacey and now Matt Waters won't have gone unnoticed. Small things like this can make a big difference down the line when players are choosing who they should sign for.

Think we're making more of this than is necessary.
His contract was up Curzon, and seemingly we've agreed to sign him and support his recovery. Nobody is being "bastards" or excessively charitable, everyone is just acting in their own respective interests.

So shall we do that with every player who has played for us?? You knew this was going to happen though this club has become very predictable. Why are you getting angry about it? The lad came through our youth system and played first team for a few seasons, had just returned and was most likely to sign for us this season. He suffered a bad injury playing for us, and even though technically he was not contracted to play for us do you not think it's the ethically right thing to do? He isn't just anyone who used to play for us, he got injured playing for us and his parent team seemingly couldn't give a shit. Chester FC is where his footballing home has always been, so I'm glad the club are able to give him the opportunity to use our medical team to assist his recovery. You don't have to put your hand in your pocket for his collection, but surely you can't begrudge the club helping a young lad out. As someone said above, I'm glad we have a reputation as fans for helping out with things like this, its a classy thing to do. I'd rather that, than be a Curzon who didn't want anything to do with helping him out.
