MATCHDAY INFO 

Blues Bar: The Chester FC Blues Bar will be open both before and after the game for a drink.

Kiosks: We are delighted to confirm that we have new kiosk operators for the 2022/23 season, who will be serving for the first time this weekend. Both East Stand kiosks will be open, with one in the Harry McNally Terrace and one in the West Stand for Rochdale supporters.

As our new operators have only recently taken over, the kiosks will initially offer a limited range – but this will include Sue Coward’s famous pies! Card payments may not yet be available, so we ask supporters to be understanding and to have cash ready.

Parking: Stadium parking for the 2022/23 campaign will be £3 per vehicle, which will apply during pre-season. Parking passes for the new season will be available to collect, along with season tickets, later this month, however 2021/22 passes will be valid in the interim.

Programme: We will be selling Issue #01 of The Cestrian Programme for £2 at the ground. This edition will cover all three home friendlies.

The game is a 3pm kick-off at the Deva Stadium.
