Wrexham v Chester - a rivalry gone too far?

[Durlston]

An extremely offensive banner was shown by Wrexham supporters towards their bitter rivals Chester last Saturday. So much for the friendliness of non-league football?

Wrexham / Chester games have always been trouble.

That's nowhere near as offensive as Ipswich's banners

What's with the banner, Cheshire Cat? Some history where they killed a fan?

The Chester fans at Barnet on the opening day were bad. I saw one punch a policeman in the face!

It's not the behaviour that should be expected anywhere, assuming the Mirror have their facts correct.

Never mind who is offended or not.

I heard that Chester fans used to taunt Wrexham fans with nooses at home games, as apparently there is, or was, a bye law that allows for a Welshman to be hung if found within the cIty walls after sundown.

That's an urban myth, but still widely believed.

And the banners are very offensive.

Not many Football derbies get set for a 12.30 kick off on a normal working day as there's did a few years back .

Classy fans those Wrexham boys.

I thought Tranmere were their local hate figures. There was serious trouble when those two used to cross paths.

I lived in Liverpool for three years and used to follow Tranmere. One of my mates up there was an ardent fan and used to refer totheir rivalry with wrexham as the Wrexham Nexus.

According to Devachat the parents of one of the dead Chester fans were there, and left in tears. So yes.
