Might aswell.

You hear 'Rovers', which team do you think of?

Please, refrain from Blackburn/Doncaster/Return or Roy!

Of course those from the respective West & East Yorkshire areas will refer to the club on their door step, but yep Rovers = Fev.

Absolutely!

"I don't see what all the fuss is about. I mean, it's only fair after last year isn't it? Look Neil, just for you, I've put my best Rovers' tie on today in the hope it'll go some way to make up for it. Oh, by the way, Jon sends his regards."

I voted for Featherstone but I'd now like to change it to Woolston, thus twisting another thread into one about Warrington

Rugby League undeservedly is a small sport.

Outside of this small world of ours we have one or two names well known nationwide.

These include the Rovers of Featherstone & Hull Kingston.

Fabulous, unmistakeable brand names we can celebrate.

Let's keep them both.

I would say Hull KR are possibly the most famous Rovers team, even more so than any soccer teams.
But ultimately it's the actual phrase 'It was real 'Roy of The Rovers stuff' that is probably more famouser.

So its possibly Melchester.
