Chester City wound up

Chester City have been wound up at a High Court hearing in London.
The 126-year-old club, who were kicked out of the Football Conference on 26 February, owed HM Revenue & Customs £26,125 in unpaid taxes.

Chester supporters group City Fans United now intend to start a new 'phoenix' club in a lower league.
And, working closely alongside the local council, the CFU have already put in an application to the Football Association for a licence.
An FA spokesperson said in a statement on Wednesday afternoon: "The FA notes today's decision of the High Court in relation to Chester City.
"The winding-up of any club is a loss to the game and in particular to the supporters of that club.
"In order to maintain a senior football club in the city of Chester, The FA will welcome applications if the club wishes to reform.
"Any such applications will be considered by The FA's Leagues Committee."
