Club History - from the book of Mobbs

The Roys were formed from a social qootyball team known as the Rabbledom Of Imbibers or the R.O.I. - an anti-temperance society centred around the inner western suburbs of Sweet Municipality. In the lead-up to the formation of the new Sweet FA premier competition in town, a name change saw the Roys FFC formed, under the tutelage of veteran Gorilla Roylion . After a fair start to proceedings in Season 03, we tasted success in Season 04 with our first premiership.

Following this initial success, a long drought ensued. Like our namesake, we were even lost from the league for a couple of seasons (S09 and S10) before returning in a blaze of mediocrity in Season 11. While we couldn't put points on the board, the Roys did make waves through a majestically strong activity presence around the community. Since this return, the mighty Gorilla has been synonymous with top-shelf banter and prize-winning content.

A year ago (2 years in local time) in Season 25 the premiership cup finally came home to the Brunswick Junction Oval, under the supervision of the lovable and long-suffering enduring captain fitzroybowiedog ! This pushed us into the Top 4, the only teams with multiple flags, and closed out the era of this being noteworthy as only terrible teams have since entered this realm thereafter.

Our last two seasons have been ... well as a promotional piece it may be better if we don't speak of the last two seasons. Yet despite the low results, the Roys have continued to be a leading performer in activity, including a #1 ranking in the Activity Assessment in S27 as conducted by the league's current Administrator.

This season, the league's 28th, will be our season ... just as almost all the previous ones were going to be but ended up not being. We have a fresh list (lies), an optimistic outlook (more lies) and are an unbelievably good-looking bunch of players (truth, actually). Who could resist us? Maybe some magnets and stuff. BUT APART FROM THAT?

Over the seasons many big names have come through the Roys team. The game's founder Mobbs was an inaugural player, as was one of the greatest celebrities of the competition: Broken . The Sweet FA's most adored cranky moderator Fred was synonymous with the Roys, until it was time for him to exit both worlds, both fantasy and real. Early leader Yippyio kicked over 100 goals one season, and the irrepressible Reardo was an early EKA medal winner, followed soon after by pantskyle who has gone on to have a major impact around various clubs, and then by Willo_ who sadly has retired until we can wear him down. fitzroybowiedog continues to flounder under a barrage of underwear whenever he appears on stage. Freakie and Mooch are league level award winners, as was Blondie162 in the very early days. Itsmyshow who has a broad presence around the competition to this day, played a strong hand in the Gorillas' resurgence in Season 11.

Hello to all my fellow Roys - and various interlopers who pop in from time to time.

I had meant to get this up a few days ago, but we had a router failure here and it was difficult to get fixed/replaced over CNY here in SG. But we are back and looking forward to a good S29 !!

Just want to quickly take a minute to remind everyone that our mission here is to make this as fun and as entertaining for everyone as we possibly can. Not just ourselves, although we'll have our fair share of in-jokes and games amongst ourselves - but for all people in the Sweet FA !!!

Have fun and enjoy it - don't make it personal - and continue to be the best quality posting side in the competition.

I hope you are all well and looking forward to a fun S29 !!

Is that the one with the barbed ends so you can discretely club people ???

Nice !!

 

[PurpleGreenRed]

Not sure I'm entirely happy with the amount of high rise flats around the ground....Access to unhindered views of our ground by the tenants of these buildings could be construed as cruel and unusual punishment under the Geneva Convention!

Being forced to play in some of out last half of the season games last year could also be considered a crime against humanity....

Nice !!

The handle doubles as a club.
