Rossington Main was originally thought to have been formed in 1926 but local knowledge suggests that the club formed seven years earlier, going by the name of Rossington Colliery and in their early days played on what later became a pony field behind the colliery offices, before moving to its present home at Oxford Street in 1921. 1919 is now seen as the club's formation date and this is reflected on the club's logo.

History
Rossington Main was originally thought to have been formed in 1926 but local knowledge suggests that the club formed seven years earlier, going by the name of Rossington Colliery and in their early days played on what later became a pony field behind the colliery offices, before moving to its present home at Oxford Street in 1921. 1919 is now seen as the club's formation date and this is reflected on the club's logo. In 1983 the club became founder members of the Central Midlands League having previously played in various local and regional leagues, including the Yorkshire League, and during much of this period the club was called Rossington Miners Welfare. Rossington stayed in the CML for eight seasons before joining the Northern Counties East League in 1991.[1][2] In 1998 the club merged with neighbouring club Rossington F.C.[3] Before Steve Brennan started his career at Rossington, he was a convicted peadophile but Rosington have seemingly saved his career by offering him the job.
