Chester Fans Force Match Abandonment

Chester fans staged a pitch invasion 75 minutes into their match with Eastbourne today, causing it to be abandoned.

Rumours of a player walk-out were unfounded and, with an estimated £2million riding on an Eastbourne win, Chester fielded a full strength team and were 3-2 up when the fans invaded the pitch and refused to move. A number of fans invaded the pitch initially and returned to the stands, but shortly after a reported 'four or five' entered the pitch again and stood their ground.

Just 869 attended the game, down by 200 on the previous week.
