LOYAL Featherstone fans hope the sight of players wearing Rovers colours on the Millennium Stadium pitch on Friday week, August 14, will be a sign of things to come next year. Another winger Ikram Butt and forwards Stuart Dickens, who topped 400 Featherstone appearances, John Davies and Luke Cooper are also in the squad. Amid mounting financial problems and debts nearing £3 million, Featherstone, league champions in 1976-77 and three-time Challenge Cup winners, who had played in the professional ranks since 1921, went into administration in December. They were denied RFL membership for this year after the sole bid to take the club out of administration was rejected by the governing body. Bids must be in by September if Rovers are to have a chance of returning in 2027.
