Vaughan considers changes

Chester City chairman Stephen Vaughan has threatened to change the club's name after growing frustrated with the poor levels of support the side is currently attracting.
Vaughan, who is also unhappy with the local council, has made an enquiry to the football authorities about a possible name change.
"Chester City Council haven't done a thing for this football club," he told the club's official website. "At times you wonder if they want a football club at all, so why should we promote them?
"I'm considering ways of broadening the appeal and obviously the fan-base of the club. Part of our ground is in Flintshire, possibly it could be called Chester-Flint, or Chester-Ellesmere Port.
"This is one of many marketing initiatives that I've come up with to expand the reach of the club's appeal and its marketability."
