Mr Angry Chester FC - the facts are:
Chester, a former English Football side from 1930 to 2000, then again from 2004 to 2009, play in the English league pyramid system
They are now affiliated only to the English Football Association and are not affiliated in any way to the Welsh FA
Land registry records confirm that the whole site is within the administrative area of Cheshire West & Chester Council
The pitch is in Wales but the stadium is considered English
The land of this now fan-owned club owned by Cheshire West and Chester Council
Games are policed by Cheshire Constabulary
As a result of all of the above, they were officially told nearly 2 Years ago that they would not be eligible for any Welsh Sport relief funds (provided by UK tax payers incidentally); however, the Welsh Government are now insisting that, as Chester FC's stadium was - just - in Wales, that the club's home games were therefore subject to Welsh Covid restrictions.
Since rules capping the number of spectators at events in Wales took effect on 26 December, Chester have hosted two home fixtures at Bumpers Lane - against AFC Telford and AFC Fylde - both in front of 2,000-plus crowds.
Frankly the Welsh "Government" can oxf*rd off.

This. I am sure if there was a similar situation, but reversed, the Welsh club would follow the English rules and there wouldn't even be a conversation about it.

Dirk Gently Berwick Rangers, despite playing in Scottish leagues, do not have the current 500-capacity maximum limits which applies in Scotland, .
