Chester City are currently in a mess. They where put into admistration by owner Stephen Vaughan then bought back but the Fa have announced that the clubs affiliation to the Fa is linked to the old company so therefore Chester have had to cancel some pre season friendlies. Chester claim it's a simple paper work issue and have sent in the relevant documents yet still no all clear from the Fa.

This for me is a sad state of affairs I remember it being announced last season there would be a talent share at academy level basically any players not perhaps up to Premier League standard would be sent to the Deva Stadium and any players that where considered good enough for bigger things at Chester would make the journey to Platt Lane. Crying shame as arrangements like this help smaller clubs like Chester and also helps City identify talent from a wider area, just hope they get it sorted.

I'm not sure those foreign partnerships even exist any more, as they were part of Frank's reign. There's certainly been no news about them since he left.

EDIT: We've also got a connection with Wrexham (they've taken a few of our players on loan, and there's a friendly next week). I suppose this Bradford link would be similar.

Bradford 1 City 3 now, Ball.

To be fair after the announcement was made there wasn't much news anyway!

I'd be happy with that. Bradford City are my 'second team'.

I always had a soft sport for Bradford after what happened at VP and your efforts in the Prem. Not to mention your chairman. He's done some great stuff for the fans in the last couple of years. I also like teh cut of his jib.

Hopefully you will get promoted this season.

Best of luck.
