Phil Parkinson gets first taste of 'real' Chester feeling as he hopes to get one more deal done
Blues boss assesses the 1-0 loss to Stoke City on Tuesday evening
Making his way to the sit in the dugout for his first match in charge of Chester at the Deva Community Stadium was always going to be a special occasion for Phil Parkinson.
The Blues boss, appointed at the start of May, had made no secret that one of the compelling elements of joining the club was the fan base and how it was one one befitting of a team higher up the English pyramid.
He had anticipated that the real sense of what being Chester boss was all about would arrive when the Blues welcome King’s Lynn Town to the Deva for their first National League North home game of the season on August 15, the first competitive test on home soil for Parkinson’s new-look side.
