DEVA-CHAT suspended

Deva-chat, the Chester City forum, has been taken off the web. A message saying "this account has been suspended" has replaced the well used message board.

Whether this suspension has anything to do with other events at Chester City is not yet known. However there were hundreds of postings on the site yesterday connected with the sudden departure of manager Mark Wright.

Many of the postings were critical of owner Stephen Vaughan.

Statements are expected today which may clarify the situation at the club. But whatever the reason for Wright leaving so close to the start of their season, in the background there are signs that the club is not financially strong.

For example,Hereford United had to wait several weeks for money from ticket sales to Chester fans who came to Edgar Street for the Conference game of the last day of the season just ended. It was reported that the first cheque to Hereford bounced before Vaughan paid out of one of his other accounts.
