Overview
- Carragher, announced Wednesday as an adviser to sixth-tier Marine FC, will lend experience and contacts to support the club’s plans.
- Chief executive James Leary said Carragher’s relationships across football will help Marine grow.
- The club expects to submit full stadium plans to Sefton Council by September after securing an 8.32-acre site on Edge Lane for £1.
- The proposed ground is slated for about 5,000 seats and would replace long-time home Rossett Park, which has hosted Marine for more than a century.
- Carragher previously backed Marine during the 2021 Tottenham FA Cup tie through his JC23 Foundation as fans bought over 30,000 virtual tickets that raised more than £300,000.
