Pisses me off driving to watch Wrexham play and seeing a coach load being picked up in their Everton shirts! Hats off to all real Chester fans for giving great support to such a small club with torches for floodlights.......;-) |

There we are. Chester are back in our shadow. Normal service resumes. With the run we're on, a play-off place may be attainable! And it's been helped by Rooney. Perhaps he just needed the right players around him? Rooneeee! Rooneee! Rooneeee!  What a tool you are. The extent of your ambition is to finish above us? Wow!. You are an absolute joke of a club, year on year you all think you are going to storm the leauge only to find out that you are not good enough. Biggest club in north wales BUT as far as football in wales goes you will always be minnows in Welsh football compared to your south welsh counterparts. Fantastic stadia big crowds and in much higher levels of football. Wrexham... Average crowds 4,000 (but that is only because of the high amount of season tickets which is added onto the matchday total) Shite crumbling stadium rented off the Uni JOKE OF A CLUB. Now go away and slither back under the rock you came from. |

Just under 3800 at the Racecourse today. Happy with that against a bottom 4 side. Surely a club of Wrexhams size should be getting 6000+ 3800 is very poor. But that figure includes over 2000 ST holders. The actual amount in the ground was more like 2500 |

I can assure you there was more than 2500 in attendance. Plus, adding the full allocation of season tickets is done by every club in our league. Including yourselves. So how many actually attend your games? 800? |

The actual amount in the ground was more like 2500 So over half the season ticket holders didn't attend? Errr...Ok. As for being a joke of a club, no more so than you guys. People in glass houses and all that. |

Why is it incorrect though? It's well documented that your ground is in Wales, and that many of your supporters are North Wales based. It annoys me that Chester fans constantly go on about Welsh clubs being kicked out of the English system, when the only thing that's English about your own club in the fact that it's named after a city in England that you don't actually play in. |

As far as I'm aware the registered office is in England which makes it an English club, the fact the playing surface straddles the border is irrelevant

Not as simple as that, if the clubs actual registered address as kept at companies house was in England then it would be an English company, just having an office somewhere else doesn't matter

It's besides the point anyway. My point is, Chester fans shouldn't be so quick to call for Welsh clubs to be kicked out out of the English system when you clearly have a lot of ties to Wales yourselves. |

It's not logic it's the law. Nationality has nothing to do with what team you support. I bet the majority of football supporters in the Wrexham area follow Liverpool (or legia Warszawa)

I simply wondered whether Chester supporters would consider the club to be Welsh if the registered office was in Wales? It could easily have happened, I find it hard to believe that the ground was built with any of this in mind. I wasn't talking about nationalities of supporters, not sure why you felt the need to drop that in. |

My recollection is the ground was deliberately built as it was with the offices behind the East Stand to ensure they were in England, it certainly wasn't some lucky coincidence. |

Hi Salford Red, I wasn't calling for you to be kicked out of the English league. I was merely suggesting that given the strong Welsh patriotism that is often seen from you guys over the border that I'm surprised that you wouldn't prefer to play in the LOW. |

I was merely suggesting that given the strong Welsh patriotism that is often seen from you guys over the border that I'm surprised that you wouldn't prefer to play in the LOW. I think it comes down to the fact that we (and Swansea, Cardiff etc) have never played in Wales beyond the Welsh cup (which yourselves and other English clubs have also competed in) .All our history and tradition is tied to the English league. When you look at Bangor etc the move to the LoW hasn't exactly worked for them. As for being the minnows in Welsh football as waggoner says it wasn't long ago we were higher up the leagues than all the others. If you don't cling onto the belief that this can happen again what would be the point! Plus in terms of Welsh patriotism I don't see how that has anything to do with supporting a football club tbh. You get a few Wrexham supporters like me who aren't even Welsh! |

The rubbish being spouted on here is mad, what's the problem with Wrexham plying there trade in the English league ? Without looking it up Wrexham have played in the English league formats since they began, going way way back. Chester city and now Chester fc have been playing the north Wales derby since both teams were set up many many years ago. I'm not bothered that chesters ground is in Wales, the only ones that care about it seems to be Chester supporters. I'm sure you'd rather play where you are now than Macclesfield. Some posts on here are good banter, some are just daft. Let's get on with it whoever we support.

We're associate members of the Football League. All this 'piss off and play in the Welsh League' rhetoric doesn't make sense. Chester were more than happy to play in the Welsh Cup? And took the competition very seriously. There was no resting players by Chester in the early 70's etc for games? A time when Chester fans keep telling me 'we had a hell of a side then' blah blah blah You only won the Welsh Cup twice, compared to our record 23 times - and yes, you were playing in the very same competition each and every one of those years! That club's pinnacle was a semi-final in the League Cup 1975. Nothing else. Nothing. The Cheshire Cup? What are Tranmere Rovers doing in it? Why did the English F.A use The Millennium Stadium in Wales for the F.A Cup Final instead of an English ground whilst Wembley was being rebuilt? It's funny 'cos half your fanbase is Welsh? Those living in Chester estates live in buildings named in Welsh? Nant Peris flats etc etc  |
