Chester FC could break the 4,000-gate barrier for only the second time since winning promotion to the Vanarama National League when they welcome rivals Wrexham to the Lookers Vauxhall Stadium tomorrow (3pm kick-off).

Tickets for the all-ticket clash went off sale at 4pm today (Friday, January 20).

As of earlier this afternoon the Blues had sold more than 1,500 tickets for the eagerly anticipated encounter. That figure does not include the club's 1,000 or so season ticket holders.

And since then tickets continued to be snapped up at a rapid rate with the East Stand having sold out and with the West Stand and Harry McNally Terrace having limited availability just before the ticket office window slammed shut.

Wrexham will be backed by nearly 1,200 travelling supporters after they sold out their allocation.

Chester's biggest crowd for a non-league top-flight game following the club's reformation came against Wrexham in April 2014 when 4,326 fans watched a 0-0 draw between the sides.

There will be no ticket sales on the day .
