History
edit
The club were formed in 1931 and were originally known as Wren Rovers. They changed the club name to Blackpool Rovers in 1990, 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. They entered the FA Cup regularly between 1983–84 and 1990–91.[1][2][3] Financial considerations necessitated that they dropped down the football pyramid, and they returned to the West Lancashire League.
The club operates a women's football club, Blackpool Wren Rovers L.F.C.
