Welcome
|
Welcome to the official website of Runcorn Linnets FC. We are members of the Northern Premier League and were placed in Division One North/West for 2019-20 after the league's Step 4 boundaries were changed. We gained promotion to the League for 2018-19 as Premier Division champions of the Hallmark Security League (North West Counties Football League) 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. If you have any suggestions, comments or questions, then please get in touch using the Contact Us page. Remember, if you are unable to make it to a match, then you can get the latest live score, plus mini-commentary by visiting this site during the game! If you can't get to a computer during the match, then you can have the details of the match at half and full time sent by text to your phone. You can get more details of this on the SMS page. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter where you will find live updates throughout our matches. Follow @RuncornLinnets Follow @LinnetsLadiesFC Follow @JuniorLinnets |

If you feel you are unable to comply with any of these measures, then we suggest that you do not visit the Millbank Linnets Stadium.
NHS COVID-19 App at the Millbank Linnets Stadium
This will help NHS Test and Trace to identify and notify people who may have been exposed to the virus.
Players, spectators, coaches, match officials, staff / volunteers and all other visitors to the site aged 16 and above must provide their details.
The app is available on Android and iOS - details are available here.
We will also be operating a backup manual paper system, for those who do not have an appropriate smartphone to scan the code.
The NHS COVID-19 app has a feature that allows users to quickly and easily 'check in' to a venue by scanning the code. The information stays on the user's phone. We do not have to ask people who choose to 'check in' using the official NHS QR code to provide their contact details. If there is an outbreak associated with a venue, a message will be sent to the relevant app users with the necessary public health advice.
This will help to avoid the reintroduction of further lockdown measures.
In addition to maintaining and sharing records where requested and displaying an official NHS QR poster, everyone must also continue to follow other Government guidance to minimise the transmission of COVID-19. This includes maintaining a safe working environment and following social distancing guidelines.
