Remember a game at the Orient - bloody vertigo at the top of their main stand!!

| What a great weekend in Carcassonne that was. Only bettered perhaps by Les Chevaux dangereux de Londres V Leeds Rhinos as the Perpignan club advertised it. The year of the Leeds Elvis look alike fans. Haven't seen French Gendarmes as perplexed since.
We can add the HAC to the list & of course Wealdstone FC where we played quite a lot of games. I'm beginning to think it might be easier to list where we haven't called home!
I have a feeling that at some stage between 1980 & 1984, due to a bad winter with many games postponed, we played 1 or 2 home games in the north to save the team coming down. Widnes would be logical because of Reggie or maybe Swinton. There was also a Lancashire Cup game V Warrington held at Wigan but don't remember the circumstances around that.

| Does Crawley Town FC ring a bell for anyone else ?
Also, I am sure that some venues mentioned were 'on the road' games which all clubs had to do, so probably wouldn't be classed as home ?

Has any rugby league club had more home grounds?
I think that’s one record you may hold.

Yes I recall walking to the ground from the station. If I remember correctly, it was in 2001 when we were playing at Charlton and we were drawn at home in the Challenge Cup the same weekend as Charlton were playing at home.

| The first time we played in Perpignan was at different stadium to where Catalans play, I can not remember the name of it but I can still remember the banquet they provided afterwards and the wine tour the next day.

Yes, I was there. A grey and damp day.
It was a Challenge Cup game versus Batley.

| I've seen the Broncos at Brentford, Charlton, The Stoop, Crawley Town FC and Kingstonian.
Oh and Wembley too!
Don't think I've missed any.
I never did quite get to Hendon on those wet winter Sundays when we were London Crusaders.

The Dragons started playing at the RU's club's ground ( Admiral Giral?) while Brutus was being upgraded, so it may have been there. There was also the 'on the road' match in Carcassone mentioned by another poster above when your boys beat the Wire: notable debutant for us that day was Ben Westwood.

I went to the CC Game at Kingstonian
You won against us ( Salford) My Lasting memory is Martin Offiah nearly breaking his legs after scoring for you Due to the Barrier being less than 5 feet away from the In goal area. I'm Certain You only played there Once.

We played at Kingstonian twice.
I've certainly seen the Broncos there twice. Cup games I'm sure.
Salford and Wath Brow Hornets.

The Widnes games were season 82/83, against Swinton and Huddersfield on 12th. and 14th. April, we also played our last game of the season against Cardiff on Cup Final eve at Stamford Bridge. The problem was the appalling state of the pitch at Craven Cottage which turned out to be due to the drain carrying the water off the pitch into the river having collapsed. In 84/85 we played three games at Wealdstone F.C.'s old ground - seen RL played in some interesting places in my time!
