Plough Lane suffered badly in last nights storm with I believe the River Wandle overflowing. Where the ground sits is a known Flooding risk.
Everything being assessed but appears both the pitch and shop have been damaged.
Biggest ever match at the new stadium against Newcastle tomorrow night has already been postponed.
Isn't looking great. Suggestions that water has come up underneath the pitch. Which has created some almost golf course sections.

Really sorry to hear thisSmithers. Looks like Broncos have played our last game at PL so thanks for having us. Hope everything goes well for you in the future.

| A shame that it indeed does appear that London have played their last match at Plough Lane. I think there was in general some good off the pitch improvements (including even some solid Corporate attendance). If there was a miraculous buy out I'd love to see them remain at Plough Lane but I doubt that is feasible from both a financial or good fit perspective.
The pitch issue has made first news article on the BBC. Crowd funding started this afternnoon is approaching six thousand, Appears as if the underground drainage system overloaded and pushed up the pitch. The Newcastle match has now been moved to St James Park next week. The upcoming Saturday match v Accrington under discussion (possibly will swap and play away) and Crewe the following week postponed. Then I guess we are into ground sharing. We played at QPR for the first few months of Covid as we'd sold Kingsmeadow to Chelsea and Plough Lane wasn't quite ready. As London Broncos know all too well, renting a ground isn't cheap.
Appreciate your kind thoughts (as always) BigTime. I'm really rooting for some good news for Rugby League in London. It's all disappeared since I started properly following it (Skolars and potentially now Broncos). Here is IMG's chance to do something big, but they won't.
