Chester Football Club are currently members of the Vanarama National League North, the sixth tier of English football. The club was founded in 2010 following the winding-up of Chester City. In its inaugural season, it competed in Division One North of the Northern Premier League, following a successful appeal to the Football Association against its initial placement in the North West Counties League.
After winning this division, it then won the Northern League Premier Division in 2011-12 and the Conference North in 2012-13. Lee Williams chats to Head Groundsman Michael Barrow about life at the Deva Stadium
