Runcorn Linnets

Local football club Runcorn Linnets FC is celebrating the start of 2025 by striking a new sponsorship deal with merseyflow to extend its sponsorship of the club for an extra two years.

The renewed deal is part of merseyflow’s wider community support programme which includes supporting many local junior sports clubs in Halton along with continued support for merseyflow’s adopted charity; Halton Haven Hospice.

The sponsorship income will be vital for Runcorn Linnets, which has over 40 different teams.

It is home to around 500 girls, boys and adults playing at just about every age group and standard – from the 3-5yr old boys and girls playing for its ‘Akidamy’ – right up to its men’s first team, which plays at a semi-professional level in the Northern Premier League.

It is one of the first ‘supporter-owned’ football clubs to be set up anywhere in England. It was created 19 years ago, is 100% owned and run by fans and volunteers, and is one of Runcorn’s most active community sports clubs.

All the teams, along with its educational academy, are based at the APEC Taxis Stadium in Runcorn.

Neil Conway, Chief Executive of merseyflow, said: “We’re proud to sponsor our local community in Halton and the Linnets play an important role in that. With over 500 people using the facilities each week, it’s clear how important this club is to everyone. To show our support, we’re thrilled to extend our sponsorship for another two years. We wish our friends at the Linnets every success in the coming seasons.”

Peter Cartledge, Chairman of Runcorn Linnets, said: “We’d like to say a huge thanks to merseyflow for extending its sponsorship deal. We’re relying on sponsorships like merseyflow’s to keep the club open. Every penny that they donate, along with the income from our other sponsors, is being used to keep the club running for all the people in Halton who use our facilities.”
