Welcome to the official website of Runcorn Linnets FC. We are members of the EVO-STIK League (Northern Premier League). We joined 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. If you have any suggestions, comments or questions, then please get in touch using the Contact Us page.

Mike Bignall, Runcorn Linnets chairman, said: "This is a completely new venture for Runcorn Linnets and certainly something different from the serious business of winning football matches!
"We hope as many as possible, our fans and those who have never been to The Millbank or to any football match for that matter, will support the night.
"We are expecting a cracking night and the beer to be flowing to ensure throats hoarse with laughter are kept well lubricated!"
Tickets at £15 each (hot food included) will be available from the clubhouse bar on first team matchdays.
Anyone interested in attending and purchasing a ticket or tickets can get in touch with the club through Contact Us.
Please note admission to the show, in aid of Runcorn Linnets FC club funds, is limited to those aged 18 and over.
