A bit of history:
Chester City Football Club is an English football club from Chester. The club participates in League Two, which is the fourth tier of English football. Chester were founded as Chester F.C., however they changed their name to Chester City F.C. in 1983. Chester joined the football league in 1931, and have spent most of their history in lower divisions. Chester won their first league championship in 2004, the Conference.
Chester play their home games at the Saunders Honda Stadium. The club offices are the only section of the ground which is situated in England. This stadium was originally known as the Deva Stadium, but was renamed the Saunders Honda Stadium, due to a sponsorship deal with the company, however the deal collapsed towards the end of the 2006-2007 season, as supporters and the media still referred to the ground as the Deva (the original Roman name of the city).
Chester played at Sealand Road until 1990. Two years later they moved into the Deva Stadium.
In the 1958-59 season the city's coat of arms was augmented onto the shirt. During the early to mid 1960s, the supporters association badge was used. From 1974-75 to 1982-83, the club used the seals badge. The design was picked from a competition held by a local newspaper, with the winner coming from the school of art in Handbridge. The current crest is an adaptation of the City of Chester crest.
