Royals Football Club →
Albany Royals – The current name is ambiguous and inaccurate (the club is officially the Royals Football and Sporting Club). In common usage, the name of the club is usually Royals or Albany Royals. Royals (Australian rules football club) or Royals (Albany) or a variation could work but it is unwieldy and is still ambiguous. Albany Royals is succinct and reasonably accurate.

Weak Oppose - Given there are no other Royals Football Clubs listed and the current name is closer to the proper and common usage names it should stay as is. Royals Football Club (Albany) is another suggestion, but Albany doesn't appear in the club name so it is contestable that Albany Royals is any more accurate that the current name.

questions and comments other than East Perth, are there many other Royals footy club around, either as nickname or main name? Are any of them likely to be notable enough to have an article one day? I'd probably match Darren's weak oppose, agreeing with the
Royals Football Club (Albany) as the preferred disambiguous location, unless it can be proven that Albany Royals is a commonly used name. Three should be redirects from
Albany Royals and
Royals Football and Sporting Club and probably even a {{confused}} hatnote referring to East Perth.— Preceding

Comment - On reflection, the article title is not accurate but I'm not sure my suggested title is the best alternative. In response to The-Pope, there are a couple of other Aussie rules clubs also known as the Royals but the majority of football clubs nicknamed Royals seem to be soccer clubs (including Albany Royals - the soccer section of the Royals Football and Sporting Club).
