Facilities
The stadium initially had a capacity of 6,012, before the away end was converted to seating, but now holds only around 5,300.
The Deva Stadium has three sides of seating and one terraced end, known as the Exacta (main) Stand Harry McNally Terrace (both home), West Stand (half for home fans and half away fans) and the South Stand (away fans). In the summer of 2007, Chester converted the South Stand from terracing to seating (as mentioned above). There have been few other changes of significance in the 15-year history of the Deva Stadium, although the North Terrace was renamed the Harry McNally Terrace in December 2006 in honour of one of its most popular managers (who died two years earlier). In 2010 the main stand was renamed the Exacta Stand.

Famous quotes containing the word facilities:
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
