I’m Dave Powell. I’ve been a journalist for 15 years, six of them spent covering my beloved Chester FC up and down the country for the Chester Chronicle.

I’ve become saddened at the lack of independent media coverage of not only our football club, but clubs like ours up and down the country. With that in mind, I want to address the gap that exists and create meaningful journalism that will resonate with fans.

There will be news, views, interviews, podcasts, exclusives and insight on the Blues, all year round, as well as analysis of every match, home and away.
