Ask any amateur football fan in the north of the Netherlands for his or her most beautiful amateur football complex and chances are that Voetbal Vereniging Roden will be mentioned. And fair is fair: those who love authentic details will not be disappointed for a second at the Roner sports park. This may be something you would expect from a club that has been around for over 85 years, but it is certainly no mean feat.
Nevertheless, Roden has only played football in its current home since 1955. The grandstand and the recognisable entrance gate are great photo opportunities for ground hoppers. Did you know that the founders of football club Roden would have preferred that the club name was RFC Hercules? The KNVB did not grant permission in 1929 because another club was already playing under that name. Then you know that too.
