CLUB REPORT LOSS
The Football Club reported
a loss of £15,343 for the year ending 29 May
2019 at the recently held Annual General Meeting.
Figures released by the club show that the total
income for 2018/19 was £858,890 which is down
from £1,041,185 from the previous year due
mainly to the loss of central funding following
the relegation from the National League and lack
of income from cup competitions. Matchday income
and Commercial revenue were both up on last year.

BLUES MAKE THEIR POINT
Chester battled to a hard
earned point at Brackley Town on Saturday to keep
themselves in second place in the table. The Blues
took an early lead through
a fine Bradley Jackson effort on nine minutes before
Brackley, unbeaten at home in 11 months, drew level
ten minutes later through Thierry Audel.
Despite losing Danny Livesey through injury at the
break, Chester had the better of the exchanges in
the second half and finished the stronger of the
two sides.
Joint manager Bernard Morley said: “The pleasing
thing for me and Jonno was the reaction after half
time. I thought the first half we were off it, the
second half we took the game to them on their home
patch. Both sides probably believed they could have
won it and we made some really important blocks
but going the other way I thought we played the
better football second half and unfortunate not
to take all three points.”
“We
gave ourselves a platform early doors but then
we go and concede again from our own mistakes.
But it works both ways, both teams will always
make excuses about why the concede but the good
thing is that from that point we have defended
really well.”
“We’ve not won in
five but we are in every single game that we play.
We played top of the league last week and were
unfortunate to come away with nothing and we play
a side that have been one of the best sides in
this league for the past four of five years and
come away and match them in every department.”
Chester are next in action
on Saturday when they are at home to ninth placed
Alfreton Town, kick-off 15.00hrs.
