| I went to a rugby union playing ex-Grammar school and was forced to play that game. At the same time my dad and I watched RL on Sky on a Friday night and I was bemused as to why it was so different from the game I was forced to play. Dad explained it all, but I had no idea there was a team in London.
Then I saw the Crusaders v Workington game on Sky one week, which ended in a draw, the year we missed out on promotion by one point. Then Brisbane Broncos bought the club, which created a bit of publicity. I saw the Broncos first home game the next season, against Keighley, played at Hendon because Barnet Copthall was waterlogged. A disappointing loss, but I enjoyed seeing a live game for the first time.
I then went to see GB v Australia at Wembley (GB won, Edwards sent off, Davies scored in the corner) that autumn which blew me away. I was hooked. Broncos were my local team, so that's who I followed.

| Despite being from the North West, the first game of RL I saw was PSG vs Broncos at the Charlety Stadium. It was Bastille Day weekend and a friend who was already a Broncos fan persuaded me (it didn't take much) that it would be a good weekend away. I very much enjoyed the game and from SL2 was a season ticket holder.

| Born I Hull, went with my Dad and grandad to see Hull FC aged 7? Season ticket aged 10 (1963 - 7shillings and Sixpence) held season ticket till 1986, then started moving round country, lost touch with RL apart from odd Hull game on TV.
Came to London 1990s, didn’t realise there was a London team, 1999 saw Cas v Broncos on TV, we lived in Twickenham, opposite the Stoop! Went to next home game with son, have rarely missed home game since wherever we have played........

| Started supporting the club in 2010/2011 when Rob Powell took over. The champagne rugby got me hooked.

| I used to get taken as a kid to the CC final at Wembley on most years......My Dad had a good ex army mate from Hull who we went with and him and a coachload of his family picked us up from our then house in Shepherds Bush and it was always a great day out....Moving forward 15 + years I met my wife and her nephews are from Widnes and both played at a decent level and I used to often travel up for any important games they were involved in.......Then in the late 90's I wandered into a Broncos game at the Stoop which is only a 8 minute drive from our house and was hooked....Spent a bloody fortune over the years on family season tickets...travel....beer ect....but loved 9(almost) every minute of it..
