Last season Chester used different 41 players in the Nationwide Conference under four different managers (Gordon Hill, Steve Mungall, Owen Brown and Mark Wright). This is the highest total since the 1929/30 season when Chester used 42 players in the Cheshire County League. An additional six players Michael Bertocchi, Lee Potter, Ben Chamberlain, Carl Rodgers, Paul Berry and Lee Sefton only featured in the Cheshire Senior Cup tie against Congleton Town.

The only player to feature in every Conference game was Wayne Brown (pictured) who also played in every cup tie with the exception of the aforementioned Congleton match. Of the outfield players only three started more than thirty league games, Martyn Lancaster (35), Mark Beesley (34+1) and Michael Rose (33), while 23 players started less than 10 games. The honour for shortest appearance in a Chester shirt went to Alex Higgins who only played in the last 21 minutes of the 1-0 defeat at Dover Athletic. Carlos Lopez meanwhile played for 50 minutes, as a substitute against Scarborough and Stevenage, during which time he endeavoured to pick up one yellow card.
