Chester City have been put up for sale with fans still staying away from the club.
The club has seen a third of its average fanbase drift away over the last three seasons since gaining promotion as a succession of indifferent managers have failed to ignite interest. Mark Wright's return to management at the Deva Stadium was watched by less than 1,500 home supporters, only a quarter of those that watched him lead the side back into the Football League.
Owner Stephen Vaughan is understood to want his investment in the club, claimed to be at least £5million, back but there are likely to be few buyers. It is just under 12 months since Vaughan quit as Chairman with two bidders vying for the club while he claimed to have no interest in selling. However those two bidders joined forces to buy Bournemouth and the only known interest in the club at present is from Wright, who remains deeply unpopular amongst large sections of the support.
