Senior Blues donation to Chester FC Women!

Chester FC Women have received a generous donation from the Senior Blues for the new campaign, enabling players to receive travel expenses for the first time.

Senior Blues chairman Chris Courtney Williams presented Martin Fitzsimons, manager of Chester FC Women, with a cheque for £1,200 at the group’s first meeting of the 2023/24 season.

The donation allows players to be reimbursed for travel expenses to training and matches, following on from the club’s decision to remove kit and subscription fees for the team.

This is the latest positive development for Chester FC Women after it was announced earlier this summer that home matches will be played at the Leap76 Stadium, starting with the visit of Ellesmere Port Town on Wednesday, 23 August (7pm KO).

“We are hugely grateful to the Senior Blues for their continued support of the football club, and particularly our women’s section,” said Jim Green, vice chairman of Chester FC.

“This summer marks a step change for Chester FC Women and we’re really excited for the future. The aim is to provide as professional environment as possible for all of our players and coaches, and hopefully this will help us progress to the next level.”

Chester FC Women’s Season Tickets 2023/24 are rapidly approaching 100 sold and can be purchased via our online ticketing platform, chesterfc.ktckts.com.
