There seems a fear from Runcorn Linnets supporters/officials that Runcorn Town will become the bigger club.
I wouldnt be suprised if Runcorn Linnets officials voted against Runcorn Town joining the North West Counties League.
We have already seen quite a few Linnets fans become regulars at Runcorn Town.
We already see quite a few Canal Street regulars, former Runcorn FC officials become involved in Runcorn Town.
It wont be a case of how many fans Runcorn Town take to away games, it will be a case of how many Linnets fans stop attending Linnets away games and start attending Runcorn Town home games. Why travel away to watch Runcorn Linnets, when a team is playing within Runcorn?
At the end of the day, Runcorn Town need supporters to attend home games, any away fans is just a welcome bonus. The same applies to Runcorn Linnets.
The retention of support will be down to who plays the best football, who has the better admission prices and who provides the most enjoyable football watching experience.
Runcorn Town seem to have ambition and are achieving this without the appeal for funding or joining forces with the council and without causing divides amongst their own support.
