Welcome

Welcome to the official website of Runcorn Linnets FC. We are members of the EVO-STIK League (Northern Premier League) and were placed in Division One North/West for 2019-20 after the league's Step 4 boundaries were changed. We had joined the EVO-STIK League for 2018-19 as Premier Division champions of the Hallmark Security League (North West Counties Football League). We gained promotion to the EVO-STIK League West Division on our 12th Birthday (28th April 2018) by securing the minimum of a second place finish in the Hallmark Security League's top flight. We went on to finish four points clear. 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 FC (which was playing under the name "Runcorn FC Halton" at the time). Although when we formed we were technically a "new" club, the Linnets were given special dispensation by the FA to be treated as a reformed version of Runcorn FC - the special dispensation was necessary as the old club had simply become dormant, choosing not to field a team, as opposed to ceasing to exist as a legal entity. We were awarded FA Charter Standard in October 2011. Feel free to view the latest news, and find out what's new on the site.
