[edit] History
The club were formed in 1931 and were originally known as Wren Rovers. They later amended the club name to Blackpool Rovers, before adopting their present name in 1998. They were founder members of the re-formed West Lancashire League in 1959, and subsequently played in the Lancashire Combination and the North West Counties League. Financial considerations necessitated that they dropped down the football pyramid and they returned to the West Lancashire League. For the 2008-09 season, former players David Worthington and Mark Williams will be joint managers.[citation needed]
