There've been more ups than downs following Chester in recent years, but I never thought I'd be standing in a leafy ground on the edge of a Gloucestershire hillside when it felt like it was all coming to an end.

The match at Forest Green Rovers had been one of my most eagerly-awaited fixtures, but as I drove into nearby Stroud less than three hours before kick-off I learned I wouldn't be seeing Chester make their debut at the New Lawn.

It was like a typical matchday - royal blue Chester scarf around my neck, Exiles banner in my bag and camera at the ready in case of an unmissable photo opportunity. But this matchday was a bit different from the norm, as I was off to the High Court in the Strand to witness the potential winding-up of a once-proud football club.

Security was tight at the High Court - the banner and camera had to be x-rayed - but I got clearance and headed off through a maze of buildings to find Court 55 on the fourth floor of the Thomas More Building.

I'd almost forgotten what it felt like to enjoy watching a Chester game - then suddenly I get greedy and watch two wins in a row, with an amazing six goals scored by the Blues!
