Pickering laments local response

The Blues voluntarily entered administration earlier this month following their relegation from the Football League and Pickering has since attempted to spark interest to save the cash-strapped club. He told the Chester Chronicle: "I have tried to get corporate Chester behind the club to see if we can come up with a solution. But the response has been very poor. "I think it shows that the people of Chester are no longer interested in the football club and that is a real shame. I am willing to hold a meeting on Monday but if by Friday morning no one has contacted me, I will cancel." Meanwhile, Bill Brandon, of administrators Refresh Recovery, added: "At the moment Stephen Vaughan [majority shareholder] is underwriting the club's expenses. There is no income coming in and the club has been instructed not to sell season tickets. "At our meeting with the creditors we will be given details of one potential bidder who has come forward."
