Runcorn Linnets Announce the Launch of the Ground Project

Runcorn Linnets officially announced the launch of their new ground project at their Sportsman’s Dinner on Saturday night. The project, which will see a new stadium built at Halton College’s Runcorn Campus, will require funding to a minimum of £250,000. The playing facility will be built initially to UniBond Premier League standard, and able to hold around 2000, but it can be adapted in future to conform to the standards that a league further up the pyramid would demand.

The location of the proposed new ground is ideal, with excellent road and rail links and right at the heart of the local community. The proposed lease deal with the college will allow for College use of the facilities, and the plans include all weather facilities which will allow multi sport use for local sporting organisations and groups.

The club has a number of ways that individuals can get help raise funds:

1. Become a Runcorn Linnets FC Ground Founder £500

Your name will be permanently displayed on a Decorative Runcorn Linnets FC Ground Founder Board within the clubhouse at the new ground.

2. Purchase a Commemorative Brick or Paver £50

A fine display of Commemorative Bricks or Pavers will be on show at the new ground for all to see ! Suitable for individuals, families, friends or businesses, why not take this opportunity to have your name permanently etched into one of the bricks or pavers.

3. Sponsor a Seat £100

You can have your very own seat plaque on a seat of your choice at the new ground (subject to availability). The plaque will carry your own choice of wording and will stay on your chosen seat for all to see on a permanent basis.

4. Runcorn Linnets FC Ground Fund Roll of Honour £25

A Runcorn Linnets FC Ground Fund Roll Of Honour will be incorporated into the official Runcorn Linnets FC website to help the club in its fundraising efforts to bring the club back to Runcorn. For a donation of £25 to the Runcorn Linnets FC Ground Fund Appeal, your name will be permanently displayed on the Runcorn Linnets FC Ground Fund Roll of honour within the website .

Donations can be made directly into the Ground Fund Account using the sort code 30-99-14 and account number 07840359. You can also get more information, and make a donation online on the club’s website at www.RuncornLinnetsFC.co.uk. There are collection boxes in a number of pubs and shops in the town. Would be delighted to receive memorabilia, old programmes, etc, from the old club to be sold to raise money for new ground. Any other offers of help much appreciated, including introductions to local companies that may be interested in sponsoring the project in some way.
