Quote: Wildthing "
Round 3 - after winning our first 2 matches (Bradford away and Wigan at home), we travelled to Griffin Park feeling pretty confident we would beat London Broncos in our 3rd game.
Wrong.
We were awful from start to finish, and were utterly thrashed. Longest journey home on the supporters coach
ever, with nothing to smile about and IIRC we got stuck in roadworks and it took forever to get home.
I may be mixed up but wasn't this the game where Rooney and Julian O'Neill were gambling on the coach on
the way to the game and fell out? Or am I mixing up my London away games?
It was always my fave away game (probably still is) but that one took some getting over!!'"
As you walked down to the ground from underneath the M4 where the roundabout is, the opposing fans buses used to park in an area on the left halfway down, as we walked down the Wakey team bus was parked up and there were players stood up in the aisle, we thought that maybe the team bus was going to park in and the players walk down to the ground, alas no such thing O'neil had smacked Korkys backside at cards and relieved him of all his hard earned, not content with that he thought it funny to wind him up over it which as you can imagine didn't go down too well with Korky, hence 3 or 4 of the players trying to pull him off, although we saw the bust up I'd no idea what it was over till Mr Brown who used to post on here and happens to be Korkys father in law told us, they scored 72 points that day 12 tries 12 goals to our 2 tries not sure if any of ours were converted, the best part of going there for me was the train down and the tube to Ealing Broadway, not forgetting the 5 cans of Vb in a bucket of ice for a tenner.
