Atherton Laburnum Rovers
Yes, that's what the LR stands for, and I'm all in favour of interesting names for football clubs at every level (with a name like Stanley, we should all be !)
Great names such as "Atherton Laburnum Rovers" remind me of when I was a boy and the FA Amateur Cup was fought out at Wembley between such greats as (and I think this was 1954, but I'll probably be corrected) "Bishop Auckland" and "Corinthian Casuals". Auckland are still going, of course ; what happened to the Casuals ? I don't want to stray too far from the essential "Stanley" nature of the forum, but I hope that these wonderfully evocative names can be brought back to the public's attention and never be forgotten. Just a whimsical thought from an old man. |

Re: Atherton Laburnum Rovers
Wanderers spring to mind as does Forest and Wedensday also Harriers and if you go to the Jock leagues you could go all day.
 I still like Stanley it different. |
