Initially, the Reds began the 2015-2016 campaign brightly, losing only five of their first 15 League games However, a winter of poor performances and match losses saw the interests of the better players wane and many decided to move on.

The Alport Committee were determined to complete the League fixtures and a miserly 16 points from 34 league matches told its own story.Changes for the forthcoming season were needed.

On 27th May 2016, The Club appointed a joint management team of Luke Goddard and Carl Everall.

Goddard and Everall set about assembling a youthful and energetic squad, whilst appointing experienced coaching staff, in order to turn the Club’s fortunes around, after the harshest inaugural season imaginable. The 2016-2017 Season was to be completely different.

On September 10th 2016, Alport competed in the FA Vase for the first time, losing narrowly after extra time at home to Wellington FC

On Monday April 17th 2017, the Club’s record attendance at Yockings Park was set, when an incredible 670 spectators watched a vital league clash against Litherland REMYCA . 36 more people than had attended a midweek home game against City of Liverpool, five months earlier.

Alport’s average gate for 2016-2017 was an astounding 236, with nearly 5,000 people watching the home games across the season
