| Club Profile |
|---|
| Founded: 1885 (140 years ago) as an amalgamation of Chester Rovers and Old King's Scholars F.C. and initially their matches consisted of friendlies. Originally called Chester, the club became known as Chester City in 1983. The club joined the Combination League in 1890 and spent the majority of their history in the Football League, before a series of financial problems led to their winding up on the 10 March 2010. Later that month, a new club - Chester Football Club - was formed to replace the original club. |
