Response to Re: The Whole Town v Linnets Debate Which Appears To Be Gathering Momentum

 
It seems that Linnets fans are becoming worried about the progression at Runcorn Town and more significantly, Linnets Board members are becoming worried.
Each week, more and more Linnets fans are abandoning the Linnets and are watching football down at Pavillions.
It seems that they are made more welcome there and actively encouraged to share ideas and get involved.
Sponsors are evident at Runcorn Town and community activity is also evident.

I see Linnets supporters arguing that they are Runcorns Team, but what makes them Runcorn's team? They have never played a game in Runcorn.
The link to the old club, goes no further than a few ex Runcorn AFC Supporters watching the club and the colours of yellow and green for the kit.
Thats were it ends.

Put Runcorn Linnets v Runcorn Town up against each other on all fronts and the team that represents Runcorn and the Runcorn community is Runcorn Town, its miles ahead. Linnets think that a return to the town will see increased gates, increased sponsorship and people flocking to support them on all fronts, its not that simple Im afraid.

Come next season, the divisional gap between the two teams will only be one league, or given Linnets results, it could be at the same league.

I've been to my share of Linnets games over the last 3 years, but for me, I would rather walk round the corner and watch a much better game, in a friendlier enviroment at Runcorn Town. At the end of the day, there are probably more ex Runcorn AFC supporters at Pavillions than there are at Wincham Park each week, so in reality its Runcorn Town that has more links to the old Runcorn AFC.
