Spanish giants Athletic Bilbao will not be playing Chester in a pre season friendly. The game will not go ahead as the....... ........La Liga side will not be using the Deva for training whilst they are on a north west tour.

It is a huge blow to City supporters who were looking forword to a contenental club treading the Deva pitch. The Blues pre season friendly list still looks strong with games against Liverpool Manchester City, Everton and Manchester United Researves.
