Chester City

I stayed just 2 miles away from the Chester ground and so it took only a few minutes to get there. The place was deserted at 8.30am so I cycled around the stadium a couple of times before I got fed up and went to a little mobile cafe in the industrial estate. The coffee was warming on this damp and blustery morning. Again I went to the ground and this time there were a handful of cars waiting for the place to be unlocked. Eventually someone opened the door and I explained my challenge. This got a pretty muted response but the assistant manager signed my shirt and I was told to go round the other side of the stadium where the groundsman was supposed to be. I never found him and as I looked at the gathering black clouds I decided it would be just as well if I made a dash for Wrexham.
