Chichester have announced that they will be changing their team name back to
Chichester City Football Club from the start of the coming season as opposed to
Chichester City United Football Club which has been used since the merger with
Portfield in 2000.
The club was originally founded in 1873 as Chichester
FC and added "City" to it's name in 1948 - now that the club has established
itself back at Oaklands Park, it seemed fitting to return to the original name.
The club is also launching a new badge this season (pictured right) which
features the club initials in the form of a cathedral and a new enhanced website
will also be launched in the next few weeks.
The new website address will
be www.chichestercityfc.com
