Featherstone Rovers have made the headlines tonight with news off a major coup.Apparently, the club's Post Office Road ground will now be named after BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles, according to a statement on the club's website.
The Leeds-born motor-mouth, who broadcasts to almost 6.8m listeners on Radio 1's flagship show often celebrates his West Yorkshire roots and his support for Rugby League but is more commonly known for his support of Leeds United.
Most of us will put this down to a belated April Fools Joke but the Rovers seem dead serious about this.
Perhaps more will emerge tomorrow morning on the Chris Moyles Show. Until then we'll just laugh at the inventiveness of the Featherstone marketing office.

Wow what an interesting idea. As a Chris Moyles fan i hope he comes to watch a match as i'm a Swinton fan and i hope he's at the ground when we play Featherstone. Me and my mates will be there.
Well, Chris spent about 5 minutes talking about Featherstone on yesterdays show so it must still be giving them some publicity. Perhaps the marketing men got it right.
....and it's now August 2007
