I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg



Teenager sent to cover first Fulham game v Wigan, from The North West, fell in love with the atmosphere that day, and stayed a loyal supporter through all the changes, highlights after Fulham at Charktin & The Stoop!

I actually got into Rugby League through Kent Invicta. My then girlfriend now wife, lived just along the road from where they played so, with a bunch of friends we went and loved it. Sadly it folded after a year so we went off and did other things.
During that season however,if our game was off we would go to Craven Cottage to see Fulham,
When the newly formed London Broncos started to play at Charlton,, which is just up the road for us. We started attending the games and we have hung around, despite everything.
My kids grew up following the Broncos and now we take my Grandson.

I moved to Aldershot with the Army from Warrington where I was a Wires fan. Ended up staying in Surrey.

Started watching the Broncos when they were first at The Stoop. My memories poor but I remember Currie being the Coach.

Been a regular at The Stoop on both occasions (Fav stadium we've used), Brentford & Ealing. Didn't go to much when we were at Charlton or Barnet.

Must admit I'm hoping they get to play at Wimbledon. I do like 'proper' stadiums.

My only experience of Rugby League had only been, when it was on TV with Eddie Waring. I remember my dad telling me to watch it as it is a really good game.
There were vouchers in The Sun giving £5 admission to games at Charlton. I went with some people from work. We enjoyed it although the others stopped going when they moved to The Stoop. I am still around.

Had only watched RL on TV but about 20 years ago I got given a family ticket to a game at the Valley courtesy of a friend at work - she'd got it in a promotional pack of Foster's and wasn't going to use it herself. She thought I might use it as I went to watch West Ham from time to time, and didn't live too far from Charlton.
Went to the game ( we won!) , and have been going ever since. Wherever we've called home.

We have got to get back to major big name tie ins with brands, the media, the Sun & Mirror give so much coverage to the sport, force feed them news daily, as we get nearer to the season, oh to have a radio campaign like the one with Capital for the World Challenge Games at The Stoop. In these difficult times there has to be real bargain deals out there!!

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.
