6679_1399761959.png [quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

| Looking like the HKA game will be the last at the stoop for the London Broncos.
Since 1995, the club have played 144 games there in all competitions witnessed by 524,269 fans (3,640).
6 Draws, 69 wins and 69 losses.......a win against HKA would give the win column the edge
I like the stadium, the bars and pretty much everything about the place other than the walkway in front of the East Stand
There have been great nights like Canberra in 1997, and disappointments like the nilling by Leeds in 2006...but my favourite memory of the place was the 60-8 hammering we gave Warrington in 2009 with the drunk Wire fan trying to set fire to his shirt......
What say ye?

| -Beating Leeds with a 'youth' team.
-Hammering Wire 60-8 with Tony Smith overseeing a 'revival' at the time and the aforementioned arsonist.
-Strangely, the 18-18 draw with Salford, last day of the season 2007(?). Nothing to play for, but scrums going against the head and the referee losing control of the passionate players for the last 15 minutes or so.
-Comeback against Salford when all hope was lost for the game and the season
-A Solomon Haumono try (can't remember the opposition) when he picked up the ball on the last, on the 20. Ran and bounced off 6 or so tacklers before popping it on the ground, at full stretch, making it by millimetres.
-Wigan, in 2006 just after McDermott was appointed. If we won, we were out of the relegation fight. We were going in at half time some 12 points down but Marty kicked a drop on the hooter for some unknown reason. We battled in the second half, came back and won 31-30!
And against us...
- The same Wigan game. Penalty, kicked against the posts (must have been deliberate), Ashton runs in, picks it up and scores a try

| Hope you are wrong about Gillingham otherwise last game of the season will be our last live game for Broncos. GIllingham is too far to travel, it would mean 6 hours out for a game of RL and much as I love it I cannot take that much time away from other enforced duties, which is the reason we no longer do away games. Cost would also prevent it.

| Yeah, Gillingham would be bad for me also. Coming from near Worthing it would mean a train all the way into London and back down into Kent again - 2 and a half hours each way. I wont be doing that each week.

1649_1338292262.jpg 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 |

| Gillingham is Pure Speculation, only the World Club Championship Games seemed to bring the stoop to Life and be the ones that I will remember, the corporate clients seemed to turn out for them, there was a real atmosphere and little away support! but good attendances.
No tears as many will know from me leaving Twickenham.

| One of the best moments if not a whole game was when Kaufusi crashed over against Widnes in the last few seconds.

| I think the last two weeks will go in there - one of the worst halves and one of the best halves I've ever seen against Salford. Then the best atmosphere I've ever experienced at the Stoop that saw one of the best results!

| A move to Gillingham would not only loose the club a lot of home support as mentioned on here but also a lot of away support as well . The hassle of getting to Kent will put a lot of the less commited away suporters off travelling south .
The loss to the away fans of the "Stoop Experience" (best day out in Superleague by far) will also be a swaying factor .
What ever happens i hope it all works out for you guy's
Regards , EW
