[edit] History
RBC, the brainchild of Frans Mathijsen and Anton Poldermans, was formed in July 31, 1912. The club was initially called Excelsior and was renamed VV Roosendaal in 1920. The club's present name is the result of a merger with another football team. On July 16, 1927, the club became known as Roosendaal Boys Combinatie (RBC). Before 2001, RBC played its league games in stadium De Luiten, which had a capacity of 2,000 seat and 5,000 standing places. In 2001, RBC moved into its new 5,000 seater stadium. RBC was considered by many the smallest club in the Eredivisie last season. In fact, they had the worst record of any club in the history of the league. This season the club will play in the Eerste Divisie, which is of course not a surprise. The average attendance in 2004/05 was just 4,800 people.
Pre World War II successes are numerous but their last few seasons in the Dutch Eredivisie have been characterized by flirting with relegation. In the 2004/05 season, RBC just nearly survived the Nacompetitie (relegation playoff). Relegation could not be avoided a year later, with RBC finishing bottom of the Eredivisie in the 2005/2006 season. The clubs home colors are white and orange.
