Welcome
Welcome to the official website of Runcorn Linnets FC.
We are a Trust-based club 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 at the time 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 currently play in the North West Counties Football League, and were awarded Charter Standard in October 2011.

Online betting in Football Online betting has never been as popular as it is today, with anything from in play football betting to online casino betting at Spin Palace. Sports betting originated in the 18 th century and since then the world of sports has changed significantly, specifically over the past 3-4 years. The game of football has changed for everyone, whether it be the fans, club promoters, players or club sponsors.
In the Barclay’s Premier League sponsorship deals practically keep the league going, with millions of pounds invested heavily each year. In order to prevent the best players leaving the league, it is essential that the money is invested into the league and corresponding world class players.
One key area of success with betting comes in the form of in play betting and casino betting. This gives people the ability to bet in play as the action progresses, and so you can now place money on anything from the half time score, to the number of corners in the game, even the number of red cards of bookings as the final whistle is blown.

14 May : 2012/2013 Season Review | August – Slow out of the blocks…
With the Olympics still going on as the NWCFL season kicked off, Runcorn were slow out of the blocks. An opening day draw with Barnoldswick was followed by Maine Road’s 4-1 demolition of the Linnets, to mean one point from six. Chris Dykes’ 2nd minute strike gave brief hope, but Runcorn were outplayed and given an early season wake up call. With confidence knocked, a fall at the first hurdle in the FA Cup followed. The tie should have been put to bed at the first time of asking, but a man down, Hemsworth dug out a replay and then proceeded to dump the Linnets out, after the first MLS penalty shoot-out. More penalty drama awaited later in the season. Four red cards, only one of which went Runcorn’s way, produced the headlines as the league campaign got back underway at AFC Blackpool. A second half Matty Jones header salvaged a point in a scrappy affair. The first two wins of the season arrived away at Alsager and at home to Colne, and provided hope of an upturn in form. The month ended as it had started though, with a draw at the MLS. Profligacy in front of goal cost Runcorn dear against a lowly Stone side, and only Rob Whyte’s 93rd minute equaliser rescued a point. A surprising early season stat saw 50% of August’s goals arrive from set pieces.
