How are the memory banks then?

Nice new thread, a simple one choice per post, no cheating

although obviously you can post more than once.
Ground/Match/Why.

Nominate one ground the Broncos have played at [inc Quins if you must

I've had to check the date but....

Saturday 2nd June 2007. Harlequins 18-8 Wigan. Twickenham Stoop

Big for me as it was my very first match in the flesh, obviously it was a win! Top atmosphere from what I remember and also Gareth Hock played the role of Pantomime villain very well indeed.

Was hooked after that pretty much

The Stoop.

Beating Canberra in World Club Challenge after going to Oz and watching us get smashed over there.

My 30th birthday present.

Wondered who would be the first for this one

Well it is 940am over here. How are you Homer? We can chat whilst everyone else is probably in bed. LOL

I remember over there that laurie Daley came over to myself in Canberra as I was near Rupe and that big bloke CLIFF, remember him? And Mr Daley politely said "It's a long way to come for that". I didn't repay the compliment in the bar at the Stoop as he hid in the players' section. He was one of those that atleast went over for a drink as opposed to the other Canberra players who went straight from the sheds to their hotel.



You do realise that the ego is watching this and graciously allowing us to talk while he observes from up on high til he deems it necessary to prove a point, despite loads of fans already leaving this site because of him?

Griffin park....12 March 2005....beating Wigan 34-20...and realising what special players we had in Marty,Tommy Luluai,Hoppo etcetera....

London Broncos 38
Canberra Raiders 18
Monday 15th June 1997
The Stoop.

Also the Stoop, against Warrington '99, my boy's first birthday and Mr S Edwards signing his programme for me, and ofcourse a couple of weeks later, Wembley, agin the Loiners, bad result but what a day!

Also anyone remember the Saints game at the Valley '96, fantastic.

Homer and rooster booster have nailed two of mine.

The saints game is the one where I managed to escape from hospital for the night with a veinflow still in my arm - was on intravenous antibiotics for 10 days and it was looking like I'd miss my first game in 4 years. What a night!!! Went back to the ward well happy.



As for the Canberra game...... I remember running on the pitch over joyed

I was wondering who would be the first to mention He who must not be named. The Canberra game must be one of the top Broncos games ever, not so much for the events on the pitch as the excellent marketing strategy and consequent attendance figure.

Sept 1980 Craven Cottage

Fulham 24 Wigan 5

The match when London fell in love with RL - it has since fallen out of love but that is another topic!

Yes it has to be beating Canberra in The World Club Challenge at The Stoop, 27th July 1997, 38-18, it was about the only time I felt that The Stoop really Rocked! the build up, the atmosphere, everything was just right, the advertising campaign on Capital FM.

I sponsored the match ball, which was signed after the match, and still have the engraved glass tankard they did for the match,

JayBS, it was 21 July 1997, London Broncos def. Canberra Raiders, 38-18, The Stoop London, 7,819




Attendance attached for you Euclid, in case you missed that sort of thing.

1st November 1987 - Fulham v Papua New Guinea - 4-12

While I had been to live games before (including all of Southend Invicta's home fixtures!), this was the one which ignited the passion to trail across London on a fortnightly basis, which has continued to burn until recently. For me players like Huw "Sumo" Rees, Kieran Murphy, Colin Fenn and Dave Gillan became superstars (if only in my mind).

Mention in dispatches for Fulham v Wigan - Lancashire Cup 2nd round - 27/9/89 - 4-34 at Hendon. Given the club's run in super league and constant games on satellite TV, I guess many people won't see what a big deal this game was. In those days we only got to see the likes of Edwards and Gregory two or three times a year on the BBC in Regal Trophy or Challenge Cup ties. Having them come to play was like aliens landing. Good coverage in the press and on TV I recall and also a 3200 crowd!

Actually despite the loss. The game at Charlton against St Helens. The name Apollo Perillini shall haunt me.

Nice to see Homer and The Gob. Anyone else coming back? The Curtism and many others?

24/10/09 at The Stoop. New Zealand 20 Australia 20. Showed England and all in UK how RL should be played. Pride, Passion & Courage...wow

Whilst the above game was spectacularly good I'll stick to Broncos games and go for Broncos v Leeds at Griffin Park. Liam Botham nailing a very late, tricky conversion to grab us a rather unexpected point at a point in the season when we really needed it.

Mickeyboy.... I would say that was probably the best game of rugby league I have seen!

Back to broncos..
An away game at saints, snowing, me and the Morecambe contingent waiting outside not knowing if the came was going ahead. We won

. Sing when its snowing, we only sing when its snowing

I was at that saints game in snow awesome result and cracking game despite the weather
Have to say the game at Brentford when we spanked wakey I think it was Paul Sykes could not miss with the boot kicked everything, can't remember was it 12 from 12

I think it was a rearranged match against Huddersfield during the week and me and you were roped into being Buck and Dusty. The temperature was in the 90s and we were sitting on the wall behind the posts just after half time with our heads off having a well deserved cold VB and cigarette when Sky spotted us and we became stars on the T V.

I thought I may have lived that one down

Someone said 15th , and when I looked at the engraved tankard I saw 27th, but that was for the Brisbane game, so my error.

Difficult to pick one from quite a few, but I'm going for Craven Cottage, 18th. April 1982, Fulham 17 - Hull (Cup winners a few weeks later) 12. I'll always remember Colin Gibson's comment in his match report in 'The Times' - 'Carl Radbone, not noted even by his supporters for his ability to read the game, kicked ahead, regathered and scored'.

August 1st 2004, Griffin Park , London 22-20 Wigan.
Cracking match with scores going to and fro throughout. It was a couple of weeks after the draw with Leeds ( the Liam Botham game!) and set us on a run of about 4 wins so we preserved our SL status!

Sorry, memory fades year on year so I remember incidents more than whole games. Anybody remember which was the one at GP where McLinden was tackled about 10 metres out and I sat and waited for the PTB, only to see that somebody had waltzed over for a try.

It was only when I watched the game on TV later that I saw the offload he made to his outside player just before hitting the deck. Our most skilful and exciting player IMO.

[Benji Marshall, anyone?

London-Leeds at Aime Giral, July 2005 (?); I think it was a home game for us.

McLinden, Dorn, Leuluai controlling matters. Feleti Mateo cameoing for us too.

Never drank red wine at a match before or since.

Especially satisfying with my Leeds family present.
