The highly anticipated football match between Chester and Gloucester City has been postponed. This decision was made following a thorough inspection of the pitch by a local referee and subsequent discussions with the match referee. In agreement with our opponents, the match has been postponed due to the frozen pitch.
Despite the commendable efforts of our volunteers to cover the playing surface yesterday, freezing temperatures overnight rendered parts of the pitch unsuitable for play. Consequently, the scheduled NWWRFL fixture between Chester FC Women and Altrincham has also been called off.
Rest assured, the new dates for both fixtures will be communicated to all concerned parties in due course. While this news may be disappointing for the fans, the safety of the players is of utmost importance.
This development represents a setback for the teams and the fans who were eagerly looking forward to the match. Nevertheless, it is essential to prioritise the well-being of the players, and we appreciate the understanding and support of everyone involved.
Please continue to stay updated for further information about the rescheduled games. We thank you for your ongoing support and patience.
