Representatives of the Deva Stadium outfit met with the board today, a week after being suspended from the Conference, to respond to five charges relating to their failure to fulfil their fixtures against Forest Green and Wrexham, as well as attempting to prove that such a situation would not arise again.
A statement on the Football Conference website said: "At the conclusion of a lengthy meeting, the representatives were advised that the Board failed to be convinced with their presentation that the club were able to demonstrate the club's ability to fulfil future fixtures in the competition and as a consequence informed the club of their finding in relation to Conference Rule 8.6.
"In compliance with Article 5.2 of the Football Conference, the Board will recommend to its Member Clubs that Chester City (2004) FC should face expulsion from membership."
The Football Conference will now convene a general meeting of its member clubs to decide whether to endorse the recommendation. No date has yet been set, while Chester's suspension remains in place.
Chester were unable to field a team for their game at Forest Green after unpaid players refused to get on the team bus.
They were also forced to postpone Sunday's derby clash with Wrexham because the local authority issued a prohibition notice on the Deva Stadium after police refused to man the game over an unpaid bill.
They were handed a 25-point penalty after falling into administration last summer and currently lie 31 points adrift of safety.
They faced a winding-up order from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs last month but were handed a 42-day adjournment, and the club was also put up for sale for £1.
