Welcome

Welcome to the official website of Runcorn Linnets FC.

We are members of the Pitching In Northern Premier League and play in Division One West, reaching the play-off final in 2021-22 season. We had secured our place in the NPL for the 2018-19 campaign after promotion as Premier Division champions of the Hallmark Security League (North West Counties Football League). We are a registered society under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 and were formed in the 2006 off-season by the fans of the now defunct Runcorn AFC (which was playing under the name "Runcorn FC Halton"). Although technically a "new" club, Runcorn Linnets were given special dispensation by the FA to be treated as a reformed version of Runcorn AFC. The predecessor club had at that time simply become dormant - choosing not to field a team, as opposed to ceasing to exist as a legal entity, although Runcorn Association Football Club Limited has since been dissolved. Runcorn Linnets were awarded FA Charter Standard in October 2011.

Runcorn Linnets thank Edmundsons Electrical for generous donations of materials and equipment

The club is hugely grateful to Edmundsons Electrical GA Wholesalers of Rochdale for their extremely generous donation of electrical materials and equipment for an exciting project that we will be undertaking soon!

Massive thanks to Lee Muskett and his team at Edmundsons.

Alty semi-final in Senior Cup is rescheduled

The visit of Altrincham to APEC Taxis Stadium in the last four of the Cheshire Senior Cup has been rearranged for Tuesday, April 4th (ko 7.45pm).

This is due to the Robins now having a National League fixture on the original date.

Time for an Easter Bingo bonanza

Runcorn Linnets are holding another Bingo Night in the MDB Gas Clubhouse at APEC Taxis Stadium on Easter Saturday, April 8th.

This is in the evening, after our afternoon home game in Pitching In NPL West against Prescot Cables, so we'll be serving butties and chips for any fans staying for the bingo.

Trust Board member Sam Phillips will again be donning his sparkly green jacket to call the numbers - it's eyes down at 7pm.

Admission is free and there are cash prizes.

Recent fundraising events have all proved popular and successful and they are a vital source of income for the club.

Thank you for your support.

Linnets roll back the years with boot sale fundraiser

We're holding a Car Boot Sale in aid of the club on Bank Holiday Monday, May 8th.

This is a throwback to the early days of Runcorn Linnets, when we regularly raised funds with such events in nearby Sutton Weaver - but this one will be on our own site at Stockham Lane.

Entry to sellers is from 7am at £10 per car and £15 for a van. This is strictly for private sellers only - no traders allowed.

Admission to buyers (from 8am) is free but we would be grateful for donations to a bucket collection.

The tea bar will be open, selling sausage or bacon butties, tea and coffee. Toilets are available on site.
