Given Greater London is 60 miles wide, they are uniquely able to retain the name "London" whilst undertaking a move akin to us going to play in Hull. What we sometimes forget is that "London" in sports terms isn't really a thing so it's a bit like having a Rugby team called West Yorkshire Pythons. For your Bradford, Leeds and Castleford you've Bromley, Lambeth and Croydon. I have the utmost of respect for London fans because they have the double whammy of enormous away trips, coupled with potentially significant journeys to wherever they call home that year.

I've been to Hight Wycombe, Leyton, Chiswick Poly, Hendon, Barnet twice (Copthall and the Hive) Fulham, Crystal Palace, Richmond (The Stoop) Ealing (Trailfinders) Bromley and Charlton. I think that's all the right grounds...though not necessarily in the right order. and we think we've had it tough, I might have missed the odd one out?

Brentford FC
Wealdstone FC
Hillingdon FC I think ?

Great memory that Bulliac
I remeber the on the road games where we played at Welford Road and Tyncastle. Both mid week if im not mistaken.
Does anyone remember if they were our 'home' games or were we the away team.
Im i clined to say they were our home games but couldnt be sure.

I'm pretty sure the Welford Road games were the Broncos home on the road ones, and the last game played there against the Bulls the ground was all cut up and heavy, ok for Union but not League and I think that was possibly the Broncos last on the road game for a while, maybe they haven't done that since.

I went to the Tynecastle game. As I recall we were poor and it was another Sean Edwards masterclass. But I got to spend the day in Edinburgh and then spent the night and following day on the Northumberland coast. Whats not to like about that.

Indeed, Sean showed just how he could play when him and the rest of the team were using the same playbook.

I'm pretty sure the Welford Rd one was because London couldn't use their then 'home' ground due to reseeding or some such but the Tynecastle game was an 'on the road, fixture via the RFL. Didn't every SL club have to play in some unusual destination over the same weekend? That's what I seem to remember, though obviously I could easily be totally wrong.

That is correct, though I seem to remember going to 2 games at Welford Road? I may be wrong?

I went to Tynecastle as well, not a great game but a great weekend, those were the days.

Yes, my memory is correct - from Wiki, though I don`t remember anything about the games.
