How are the memory banks then?

Nice new thread, a simple one choice per post, no cheating
My starter for 10, Griffin Park, March 28th 2002, v St Helens.

40 - 6

Why? Saints always snotted us big time in those days, and this was the first time I can remember we owned them in every department, also happened to be on Maundy Thursday evening so copious amounts of alcohol could be imbibed, and were

I've had to check the date but....

Saturday 2nd June 2007. Harlequins 18-8 Wigan. Twickenham Stoop

Big for me as it was my very first match in the flesh, obviously it was a win! Top atmosphere from what I remember and also Gareth Hock played the role of Pantomime villain very well indeed.

Was hooked after that pretty much

The Stoop.

Beating Canberra in World Club Challenge after going to Oz and watching us get smashed over there.

My 30th birthday present.

Wondered who would be the first for this one

Well it is 940am over here. How are you Homer? We can chat whilst everyone else is probably in bed. LOL

I remember over there that laurie Daley came over to myself in Canberra as I was near Rupe and that big bloke CLIFF, remember him? And Mr Daley politely said "It's a long way to come for that". I didn't repay the compliment in the bar at the Stoop as he hid in the players' section. He was one of those that atleast went over for a drink as opposed to the other Canberra players who went straight from the sheds to their hotel.

You do realise that the ego is watching this and graciously allowing us to talk while he observes from up on high til he deems it necessary to prove a point, despite loads of fans already leaving this site because of him?

Griffin park....12 March 2005....beating Wigan 34-20...and realising what special players we had in Marty,Tommy Luluai,Hoppo etcetera....

London Broncos 38
Canberra Raiders 18
Monday 15th June 1997
The Stoop.

Also the Stoop, against Warrington '99, my boy's first birthday and Mr S Edwards signing his programme for me, and ofcourse a couple of weeks later, Wembley, agin the Loiners, bad result but what a day!

Also anyone remember the Saints game at the Valley '96, fantastic.

Homer and rooster booster have nailed two of mine.

The saints game is the one where I managed to escape from hospital for the night with a veinflow still in my arm - was on intravenous antibiotics for 10 days and it was looking like I'd miss my first game in 4 years. What a night!!! Went back to the ward well happy.

As for the Canberra game...... I remember running on the pitch over joyed

Sept 1980 Craven Cottage

Fulham 24 Wigan 5

The match when London fell in love with RL - it has since fallen out of love but that is another topic!

Yes it has to be beating Canberra in The World Club Challenge at The Stoop, 27th July 1997, 38-18, it was about the only time I felt that The Stoop really Rocked! the build up, the atmosphere, everything was just right, the advertising campaign on Capital FM.

I sponsored the match ball, which was signed after the match, and still have the engraved glass tankard they did for the match,

JayBS, it was 21 July 1997, London Broncos def. Canberra Raiders, 38-18, The Stoop London, 7,819




Attendance attached for you Euclid, in case you missed that sort of thing.

1st November 1987 - Fulham v Papua New Guinea - 4-12

While I had been to live games before (including all of Southend Invicta's home fixtures!), this was the one which ignited the passion to trail across London on a fortnightly basis, which has continued to burn until recently. For me players like Huw "Sumo" Rees, Kieran Murphy, Colin Fenn and Dave Gillan became superstars (if only in my mind).

Mention in dispatches for Fulham v Wigan - Lancashire Cup 2nd round - 27/9/89 - 4-34 at Hendon. Given the club's run in super league and constant games on satellite TV, I guess many people won't see what a big deal this game was. In those days we only got to see the likes of Edwards and Gregory two or three times a year on the BBC in Regal Trophy or Challenge Cup ties. Having them come to play was like aliens landing. Good coverage in the press and on TV I recall and also a 3200 crowd!

Actually despite the loss. The game at Charlton against St Helens. The name Apollo Perillini shall haunt me.

Nice to see Homer and The Gob. Anyone else coming back? The Curtism and many others?

24/10/09 at The Stoop. New Zealand 20 Australia 20. Showed England and all in UK how RL should be played. Pride, Passion & Courage...wow
