CHESTER City’s 2009/10 Blue Square Premier campaign opens with a trip to Grays Athletic on Saturday, August 8.

The return of the cross-border derby comes on September 26, when the Blues travel to Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground.

Boxing Day brings another away game, at Kidderminster Harriers, for Mick Wadsworth’s men, and the second instalment of the derby will take place at the Deva Stadium on February 13.

The Blues finish their campaign, providing they do not reach the playoffs, at home to Crawley Town.
