The club offers a warm welcome to two more new signings as our management team continues to rebuild the squad.

Fans will be pleased to see Allan Collins back in Linnets colours, the striker rejoining after recovering from the collar bone injury sustained in the match at 1874 Northwich early last season.

Also arriving is Tony Donaldson, a young midfielder who is also on the books of Skelmersdale United.

Following an incident of unacceptable behaviour by a Runcorn Linnets supporter at the FA Cup tie against Hemsworth MW on 6th August, the club has prepared a report of its investigations and recommendations regarding sanctions, and has forwarded it to the League and FA. Unless instructed or advised to do so by those authorities, the Club does not intend to comment any further on the incident.

A new "Fans Liaison Group" will be set up to update and implement the Code of Conduct to try and ensure that an incident of this nature will never happen again.

Runcorn Linnets have brought in winger Marcus Cusani with Saturday's first Hallmark Security League game of the season fast approaching for the club.

The new signing joins on a dual registration from Prescot Cables and we extend him a warm welcome to The Millbank Linnets Stadium.
