Ive seen these advertised as Chester Football Club Supporters Association badges on ebay.


I'm no badge expert, but I'm not convinced...don't see the connection to a football club.

Farming yes......but football

Hopefully a Chester fan on here can explain the link but I did wonder if it came from the whestsheaf on the coat of arms for Cheshire

Indeed, the Wheatsheaf is part of the County Coat of Arms, and Chester the County Town of Cheshire. It doesn't seem to have appeared anywhere else since that I can remember though.

The Wheatsheaf appears upon the JUNIOR BLUES badge
