Chester Game

Post by Mat.H »

I have read with interest the thread on poeple not getting paid and money being tight as games have been posponed, but as I have a season ticket I have already purchased my ticket for the Chester game. I shall not be asking for money back or anything, I hast to add. In his interveiw after the game Harper was talking about how they arte trying to bring in a striker but money is tight there not being made any better by the chester game going costing them £10,000.00. to me that seems a hell of alot though.
Will the clubs be getting compensated by the BSP for their loss of income?
Will the club offer anything to season ticket holders for their loss of a game?

I personally do not think Chester should of been offered a place in the conf premier to start with -30 points always going to be a disaster.

Like was mentioned in another post, the Football League threatened to take away our promotion places if we didnt accept Chester into the league, so the Conference board were screwed.

The Football League withheld parachute payments to Chester. As the Conference was forced by the FL to accept Chester, I think that should be used to compensate the clubs who won't now play them, though I'm sure it won't happen.
