Supporters Clubs

Amazingly the Inver Reds can boast of three separate clubs and at least one fanzie, which is believed to be knocked out on Gordy McKays knackered old manual typewriter.
1. Larne FC Supporters Club
2. Inver Reds Supporters Club
3. Red and Whites Supporters Club

Travelling supporters information

Take the A2 or the A8 to Larne, then at large roundabout in Town Centre, take the Carrickfergus Road and follow signs for 'Inver' to ground.

Fast Fact: Did you know that Larne once drew 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers, 29 July 1977 in a pre season friendly. Chookie Rainey scored the second half equaliser with a beautiful lob over the stranded Blackburn keeper

"They Think it's all over" the popular BBC football programme showed Inver Park on the Christmas day special 1997.  They found the "Mary had a little lamb" material on this site and sent the TV people over! And I still haven't seen it.  Weird-but-true
