Phone 01244 371376
The Exacta (formally Deva) Stadium has a capacity of 5376 of
which 4500 are seated. The ground was
opened in 1992 and little will have changed since The Bulls’ last visit in
October 2007 when the game ended 1-1.
Visiting fans are accommodated in the Swansway Chester Stand
at one end of the ground. The former
covered terrace is now all-seated with admission expected to be £16 for adults,
£11 for concessions (Seniors, students and unemployed with proof), £6 for U18s
(ID), £3 for U16s and free for U5s.
The ground is a little way out of the City and offers little
by way of nearby alehouses. The Club
bar does, however, sometimes admit visiting fans. The usual footy catering is available in the away end.
HUISA – departs from Radford’s at 4.30pm with a fare of £13
(non-members £15). Seats can be booked
through The Club office (08442 761939).
BY CAR – Subject to traffic, it’s probably best to use the
A49 (the alternative being M5, M6, M56) to Shrewsbury. The choice is then to use the A5 to Oswestry
and north on the A483 or to bypass Shrewsbury (A49 North) to Whitchurch and take
the A41 from Whitchurch Bypass. Either
way, the distance is between 95 and 100 miles and you should allow over two
hours. Postcode is CH1 4LT
On arrival at Chester drive through the centre following
signs for Sealand Industrial Estate turning off Sealand Road into Bumpers Lane.
PARKING – there is plenty of parking at the ground (£1) but
departure can be delayed due to heavy post-match traffic.
ALEHOUSES – plentiful in the City centre but non-existent in
Bumpers Lane.
