BOOST the Budget 2025/26 will go a long way to helping out Chester FC's next bid to reach the National League.
-
The Blues have confirmed the scheme is back underway as the annual fundraising event takes shape with the usual £100,000 the target this year.
The club hope to smash that figure and a club statement said: “Thanks to your continuing direct debit pledges from the previous season, we are already beyond the £75,000 mark in search of our biggest ever target as we look to hit a stretched target of £125,000 for the first time ever.
“The initial total is just continuing pledges - with our next update coming on Tuesday as we move to two totals per week for the remainder of BTB!
