==Sunderland Royal Rovers F.C.==

===History===

The club was founded in 1884 as '''Royal Rovers F.C.''', originally as a boys' club playing friendly matches near Sunderland docks; the name came from a [[public house]] owned by one of the boys' grandparents. As the side grew and aged together, the players looked for more competitive football, and was a founder member of the Wearside Alliance, winning the title for the first time in 1894–95.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ross |first1=Kevin |title=Sunderland AFC humbled by local minnows in first Wear derby |url=https://www.a-love-supreme.com/single-post/sunderland-afc-humbled-by-local-minnows-in-first-wear-derby |website=A Love Supreme |access-date=25 June 2024}}</ref>

The club joined the stronger [[Wearside League]] in 1896, and at the turn of the century became the strongest non-league side in the area; it won the League every year from 1900–01 to 1903–04, and in the first of those seasons also won two local competitions (the Shipowners' Cup and Monkwearmouth Charity Cup).<ref>{{cite web |title=The History of the Wearside League |url=https://www.wearside-football-league.org.uk/information/site/site/1900s.htm |website=Wearside League |access-date=25 June 2024}}</ref> One of its founder players - Ralph Scott - was still playing for the club as late as 1901–02.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Royal Rovers Football Club |journal=Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette |date=8 June 1901 |page=4}}</ref>

The club left the Wearside League in 1906 to join the new [[North Eastern League]], which featured the stronger non-league clubs and the reserve sides of the [[Football League]] clubs. After a couple of decent seasons, the lure of better pay meant the club haemorrhaged players to better-resourced sides, and it spent the last part of the decade at the bottom of the table.

In 1910, the club shortened its name to '''Sunderland Rovers''', and by the start of the [[First World War]] had recovered to mid-table status. However, the club's existence ended during the War, as the [[British Army]] took over its ground in April 1918,<ref>{{cite journal |title=Sunderland Rovers Football Club |journal=Newcastle Journal |date=21 February 1918 |page=3}}</ref> and the club's failure to send a representative to a meeting of the new [[North Eastern League]] in April 1919 was taken as tacit acceptance that the club had died.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Competition enlarged for next season |journal=Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette |date=12 April 1919 |page=5}}</ref> The Rovers' final reported game was a first round Shipowners' Cup defeat at Sunderland West End in February 1918.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Shipowners' Cup |journal=Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette |date=9 February 1918 |page=4}}</ref>

Sunderland Royal Rovers F.C.

History

The club was founded in 1884 as Royal Rovers F.C., originally as a boys' club playing friendly matches near Sunderland docks; the name came from a public house owned by one of the boys' grandparents. As the side grew and aged together, the players looked for more competitive football, and was a founder member of the Wearside Alliance, winning the title for the first time in 1894–95.[1]

The club joined the stronger Wearside League in 1896, and at the turn of the century became the strongest non-league side in the area; it won the League every year from 1900–01 to 1903–04, and in the first of those seasons also won two local competitions (the Shipowners' Cup and Monkwearmouth Charity Cup).[2] One of its founder players - Ralph Scott - was still playing for the club as late as 1901–02.[3]

The club left the Wearside League in 1906 to join the new North Eastern League, which featured the stronger non-league clubs and the reserve sides of the Football League clubs. After a couple of decent seasons, the lure of better pay meant the club haemorrhaged players to better-resourced sides, and it spent the last part of the decade at the bottom of the table.

In 1910, the club shortened its name to Sunderland Rovers, and by the start of the First World War had recovered to mid-table status. However, the club's existence ended during the War, as the British Army took over its ground in April 1918,[4] and the club's failure to send a representative to a meeting of the new North Eastern League in April 1919 was taken as tacit acceptance that the club had died.[5] The Rovers' final reported game was a first round Shipowners' Cup defeat at Sunderland West End in February 1918.[6]

Colours

The club wore red and white stripes - colours common in many Wearside clubs, including Wallsend Park Villa, North Shields,[7] and, of course, Sunderland A.F.C. - with photographic evidence demonstrating the shirts were accompanied by black shorts and socks. The club's change shirt was blue.[8]

Ground

After its initial games on ad hoc patches of dockside grounds, the club found a permanent home in 1895 at the old Blue House Ground in Hendon,[9] re-christened the Royal Rovers Ground.[10]
