Free Season Tickets for Kids

Runcorn Linnets FC today (Thursday 23rd October 2008) launched their new initiative to provide free season tickets for all children under the age of 16.

The scheme allows all children who apply for a free season ticket, the chance to watch every home league game free of charge.

Club Chairman, Derek Greenwood said ‘The Free season Tickets for under 16’s initiative is a win-win project where under 16’s can watch quality football for free. In the current economic climate we understand that leisure activities might suffer, and this is our way of offering something for the local community”

Information about the scheme has been sent out to all schools in Halton, with the project to be extended to South Warrington, Northwich, Knutsford, Frodsham and Helsby in the coming weeks.

Season tickets can be applied for by visiting the club website at www.runcornlinnetsfc.co.uk/Football4Free or by filling in the application form and sending it to Runcorn Linnets FC, PO Box 268, Runcorn, WA7 5WQ.

Children and parents can call the Club-line for information on 07050 801733.

Boost for Ground Fund

Runcorn Linnets Ground Fund has received a healthy boost this week. Firstly the club received a generous donation from local firm, Howden Kitchens at the beginning of the week. Chairman, Derek Greenwood, said “The club is delighted to receive good support from such a well known local company and we would encourage others to come in and follow their example”.

Last Friday then saw a successful concert with Frodsham Silver Band, held at Beechwood Community Centre. The Linnets would like to offer sincere thanks both to Howden Kitchens and to Frodsham Silver Band for their support of the Return2Runcorn project and indeed to all those people who supported the concert on what was a most enjoyable evening. Vice Chairman, Hedley Edwards, who organised the event, said “It was a pleasant and relaxing evening. It was nice to see so many youngsters playing in the band and obviously enjoying themselves”.
