Well, in 1885, Chester Football Club was originally founded as an amalgamation of Chester Rovers and Old King's Scholars, and home games were initially played at Faulkner Street in the area of Hoole. Chester FC played just friendly matches for the first five years before joining the Combination League in 1890, and five years later the Cheshire Senior Cup became their first trophy, followed by a mo
ve three years later in 1898 to The Old Showground, also in Hoole. Just 12 months later however, the club were forced to disband when the ground was lost to a housing development. The new century saw the club return though, and in 1901 the club were housed in Whipcord Lane, and that would turn into a successful venue for Chester FC, as they clinched the Combination League there in 1909 after finishing runners up for the preceeding five seasons. Chester also entered and won the Welsh Cup in 1908 after they defeated Connah's Quay, a Cup they also went on to win in the 1930s & 40s. In 1910, Chester were elected to the Lancashire Combination, and were founder members of the Cheshire County League once the First World War had ended, when they necame founder members of the Cheshire County League.
1931 was a major year in the Club's history, when new manager Charlie Hewitt - appointed just a year earlier, guided the Club in to the Football League for the very first time, in place of Nelson FC. The 1930s saw Chester's biggest ever FA Cup win (5-0 over Fulham in 1933 & 1935), and in 1936 recorded their record victory, a 12-0 win over York City, which still remains the Club's biggest victory to date. Chester won the Welsh Cup for the second time in 1933, beating Wrexham at Sealand Road, however World War Two then intervened with the Club's prgression. Chester's record attendance was set in 1952, when Sealand Road was packed to the rafters for an FA Cup tie against Chelsea, where the official attendance was quoted as 20,500. By the time the lower divisions were merged in 1958, the Club had won another Welsh Cup, and the Club were placed into Division Four.
