AFC Liverpool Club Statement

AFC LIVERPOOL TO GROUND SHARE WITH BOOTLE FC

From the 2025/26 season onward, AFC Liverpool are delighted to have signed a groundshare partnership with Bootle FC, allowing the club to play at the Berry Street Garage Stadium.

The deal will see both clubs work closely together to support their growth and standing, both on and off the field.

Bootle FC Chairman Joe Doran said, “Bootle Football Club welcomes AFC Liverpool to the Berry Street Garage Stadium from next season. We look forward to working with the club, its staff, and its fans.”

“We’ve always enjoyed a healthy rivalry with AFC since its inception, and we’re looking forward to working with them in a professional capacity.”

AFC Liverpool Chairman Chris Stirrup added, “I think every one of us is excited about the move and very much looking forward to building on the solid foundations we’ve already established. Like Joe says, we’ve had a healthy rivalry over the years, and I’m delighted that we can now help, learn, and develop in this new chapter of our club’s history.”

“The move to Bootle gives us an exciting future, but in order for that to happen, we must also acknowledge our past. I can’t thank Marine FC enough for the help and guidance they’ve given us over the years.”

“We’ve made a lot of friends there, and I sincerely hope those friendships continue. From Paul at the top to the Marine supporters who come to watch us when their team is away, I’d like to thank them all for their help and support.”

Our final game at the MTA will be against Colne on Friday, April 11th, and we’d love as many people as possible to join us in saying farewell to Crosby.
