I can remember not too many years ago when i was in the Blue & White club. I used to look forward to gala day just to show off my support for the Rovers.
Stuff the races, rugby and football matches I was taking part in. What got me excited was getting on the Rovers float and parading through Fev, proud of where i was from and what i was part of within the Rovers.
Floats got all the kids talking weeks before gala day. Not eveyone got to take part on the day, so me on that float got kids i knew talking about the rovers and that kicked off a small buzz. But big enough to boost the numbers of kids wanting to play rugby and go watch Fev.
We have a great side at the minute and we need to cash in on that within the community now and create that Buzz within the town again.
I want to see police cones down the lane again just because its match day, blue & white eveywhere as i walk to the game ready to give my vocals a good exercise and that natural roar from the fans all around the ground. Kids are the future for the rovers and they need to be better connected to the lions Featherstone need to take better advantage of local talent, promote it and keep hold of it. This will only make us a stronger team and a closer community.
