History. Ancient History mate. Lets just say he and his ways are not best liked down here. The Crusaders are the 4th club (2 Union & 1 soccer before) that he has owned/invested in. One just survived and is still struggling, one is no more, one fell down the leagues and has not recovered and the jury is still out on the Crusaders.

The football club is on the brink.

Think it's 3 dual reg signings and a maximum of four total dual reg and loan players at any one time.

Wrexham is the big local derby for Chester City though. If the Chester City fans I know are typical, they're far more likely to be making the trip to Warrington, Saints or Widnes than to ever support a team from Wales.

Chester City won't disappear - the ground is council owned and once they can shake off Stephen Vaughan they'll be able to start afresh.

And the two absolutely despise each other.

I wasnt necessarily talking direct support, more establishing a profile.
My mates have been out of school a couple of years now so it could have changed but as of 2 or 3 years ago in the various chester schools they attended Rugby League wasnt played, didn't even know it existed.
This a city about 25 miles from heartlands.
They may hate each other in theory but all the wrexham kids go to chester for nights out, wrexham kids often go to school in chester (along with places like frodsham, Helsby and so on, places next to the heartlands with no RL influence), socialise together etc It was just a thought, it didnt need the pedantic brigade
