SEVEN Chester City fans had already made their way to Forest Green Rovers in Gloucestershire before finding out Tuesday’s match was called off, writes Mark Dowling.
Among them was London-based Sue Choularton, press officer of the Chester City Exiles supporters’ club.
Sue said: “I had arranged to meet other Chester fans when we got there, but I had read what was going on.
“We were all on our way and got the call at 5.10pm to say the match was off. I wasn’t surprised about that, more surprised it hadn’t happened more recently.
“There were seven of us there – the magnificent seven! One couple had come from Chester and another chap had cycled from Cheltenham.
“We had a nice long chat with Forest Green fans, who said this was the end for our club.
“We were in agreement – you’ve got to feel it’s finished. I can’t see a way out for them. At least the footballing community is thinking of Chester.
“It’s not the end of football in Chester, because there are enough people for a new club.
“I think there is a glimmer of hope, and this will wake people up and it has alerted the football authorities.”
