Dear Chester Exile,
We hope you had a good summer and are now looking forward to
the new season after the winning start on Saturday and a very creditable
final league position last season. Let's hope the success continues at
Halifax.
Here is the first of our Exiles news updates for the
coming season which we hope you will find useful.
Meeting places for Dover and Woking
On Saturday, 15th August, the Blues make their second trip
of the season away to Dover Athletic at the picturesque Crabble Athletic
Ground, Lewisham Rd, River, Dover, CT17 0JB.
The ground is two miles away from the centre
of Dover and the main railway station, Dover Priory. The
nearest station to the ground is Kearsney, which is 15mins walk from the
ground.
The Exiles' meeting place for this match will be The
Cricketers, Crabble Road, Dover Road, Dover CT17 0JB http://www.cricketersdover.com/#about-us which
is close to the ground. There is also a sizeable social club within the
ground which we will move on to around 2.30pm.
The following Saturday, 22nd August, the Blues make their
second trip down south in a week this time to Woking and the
Exiles will be at their regular meeting pub, The Sovereigns, Guildford
Road, Woking, Surrey GU22 7QQ which is about 10-15mins walk from the Kingfield
ground. http://www.emberinns.co.uk/nationalsearch/southeast/the-sovereigns-woking.
'Steve Burr had a Dream' - Crowdfunder
As a CFU member you should have a received an
email promoting the 'Steve Burr Had a Dream' project asking fans to help
raise £20,000 for the transfer kitty. This project is using flexible
funding and will receive all pledges made by 6:00pm on 31st August
2015. you may be interested to know that pledges of £20 or more
will receive a signed print of Ben Heneghan scoring against our nearest
and dearest neighbours last season! We hope Exiles will help the
club raise this amount however great or small, every penny counts!

Exiles AGM and Meet the Chairman
We are planning to hold the Exiles' 2015 AGM on Friday
evening, Friday, 25th September the day before Chester's first visit to
promoted Bromley. We have invited Chairman, Grenville Millington as
our VIP guest and are hoping that Steve Burr will be able to attend too
(depending on team travel arrrangements). The venue will be a central
London location. More information will be sent to you as details are confirmed
but please put this date in your diary as I am sure it will be a very good
evening once the official AGM business is over!
If you have any good suggestions or ideas as to what you
think we as Exiles should be doing to help the club off the field then we would
love to hear from you and even better, meet you to discuss! We are
always looking for more Committee members to join us
too. Please get in touch by emailing info@chesterexiles.co.uk.
And finally........
If you haven't done it already, please renew your CFU
membership NOW - and why not forward the link to someone you know who really
should be an owner of their football club. You can join online here http://www.cityfansunited.com/join-online.html or
pick up a CFU form from us at Dover and Woking.
We look forward to meeting you at one of
the Blues' matches soon.
Enjoy the season and C'mon U Blues!
All the best
