Car flag, Featherstone Rovers, 2006

Collected in 2006

A car flag for Featherstone Rovers with a blue background and repeating pattern of the team's coat of arms logo

Featherstone Rovers fans proudly flew these flags from their car windows.

The design features the town's coat of arms, which Rovers were using as their club badge at the time.

The Latin motto, 'Consilio et Animis' means 'By Wisdom and Courage'.

Supporters needed courage after a difficult time for the club. They had been relegated to League Two in 2005. In 2006 loyal fans formed the Friends of Featherstone to help raise money for players' contracts. They wanted players who could get them back to League One.

The club missed out in 2006 but won promotion the next season.
