Chester FC – Under the Canopy

    Our new Fan Canopy will be open on Saturday for the very first time, offering supporters a dedicated space to gather and enjoy before the match!

    Here’s what’s going on Under the Canopy…

    OPENING TIMES AND LOCATION

    The Fan Canopy area is situated outside the ground by the North-East corner of the ground. It will open at midday and close at 3pm. For this fixture, the Fan Canopy will not be open after the match.

    Please note, the entry point will be stewarded and there is a capacity limit in place.

    DRINK

    Our friends from Spookton Brewery will be serving their craft beers Under the Canopy!

    Please note, alcohol sales will commence at midday and then stop at 2.45pm.

    KIOSK

    The Kiosk in the East Stand will be integrated within the space and available from midday for supporters to purchase their usual goods with GWG Catering, including teas and coffees, confectionary and hot food!

    CHESTER FC RETAIL

    We’re also pleased to announce that we will be selling Chester FC merchandise from our cart which has been kindly loaned to us by Urban Tricycles (read more on this partnership below!)

    Sales will be card only in this area, with the following items available to purchase…

    URBAN TRICYCLES

    The cart we will be selling CFC Retail items from has been very generously donated to us by our good friends from Urban Tricycles for the remainder of the season!

    Urban Tricycles are an award winning British manufacturer of tricycles, carts and branded bicycles and are based just around the corner in Europa Court.

    They have supplied many reputable businesses, including football clubs in the top tier, and also helping out some familiar faces to the Deva such as Ginger Cat Coffee.

    For more information on the fantastic work they do, please visit www.urbantricycles.co.uk.

    LIVE MUSIC

    The Fan Canopy wouldn’t be complete with live music from our resident DJ Jono Robertson.

    Jono regularly works with the club on matchdays and also our annual Awards Evening, make sure you get down and support him!

    AND FINALLY…

    The club remains committed to creating a permanent Fanzone in the long term (CLICK HERE), and this expanded matchday offering allows us to test both the concept and demand over the remaining home games in 2024/25 as well as the opening months of the 2025/26 campaign.

    We will be releasing a survey next week for supporters to feed back what they felt worked well and what we can improve on.

    We hope you enjoy your afternoon Under the Canopy!
