Good luck to the players and fans though, and shame on the FA for letting it happen.

I wasn't even aware there was anything (much) going on up there until; I saw this and discovered they've been having a lot of problems recently.

Chester make Portsmouth look like a well-run club. For anyone who wants an update, they have run up £700,000 ish of debt since the start of the season, of which £400,000 is "money put in by the Vaughan family".

Cheeky bastards.
