Chester Halton FC? Chester-Ellesmere Port? Chester Flint?

Last updated : 13 March 2007 By Andy Van Hagen
Chester City chairman Stephen Vaughan hasapproached the football authorities about changing the club's name.

Vaughan told his clubs' website http://www.chestercityfc.net:

"Chester City Council haven't done a thing for this football club, so why should we promote them?

"Part of our ground is in Flintshire - it could be called Chester-Flint, or Chester-Ellesmere Port. Chester Halton FC is also one of the new names being considered.

In December 2005, Vaughan threatened to move the club to play in Widnes, more that 20 miles from Chester, because of a lack of support from the council. Since then relations between the two havenot improved.
