| 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.

| My sons school was invited to play in a half time tag team game for Crusaders when they were in Bridgend. Immediately hooked on the game (battering Fev may have helped )
Was thrilled when they got into Superleague but less so when they moved to Wrexham and the 70 mile round trip turned into 230 mile round trip, but we stuck at it.
Crusaders went bust but we were hooked, and there was no sign of the pheonix club at that point. It was choice between Wire or Broncos and, as both were around the 350 mile round trip, we thought that Broncos needed the supporters more than Wire, always laugh at how many 'this is going to be our year' we missed out on [del[/del

| As a kid watched the Challenge Cup finals & BBC2 Floodlit Trophy but played football & Union at school. Started watching FulhamFC my local team in 1965. As a S/T holder since the mid 70s I took up the offer of a free ticket to the Wigan game in 1980 & was bowled over by the pace & power. Wouldn't mind some forwards of the ilk of Beverly, Gourley, Wood, Lester & the slowly moving Van Bellen today. Dragged myself to most of our home grounds but never made it to the Hive due to other commitments.
The Cottage will always be my favourite home ground but even more unsuitable for rugby now with the new stand going up as it was in 1980 size wise. After that would have to be the Stoop, Charlton & Stade Aime Giral. Going to the Stoop led to adding Harlequins to my portfolio of Season Tickets & the trips to France with both Broncos & Quins have been magnificent even when we lose.
When it gets into your blood it's there for good.

| Like many watched RL on the BBC in the Eddie Waring days and got hooked. I used to do big games at Wembley. I moved to Yorkshire in the early 90s, followed Cas and then started ground hopping. Back in the south my son started to get interested so took him to Ealing in 2017 and now my wife comes too. A day trip to West Yorks is her favourite summer Sunday. We hope that the journey to Wimbledon won't be too difficult from just outside Southend

| Despite being from the North West, the first game of RL I saw was PSG vs Broncos at the Charlety Stadium. It was Bastille Day weekend and a friend who was already a Broncos fan persuaded me (it didn't take much) that it would be a good weekend away. I very much enjoyed the game and from SL2 was a season ticket holder.

| Born I Hull, went with my Dad and grandad to see Hull FC aged 7? Season ticket aged 10 (1963 - 7shillings and Sixpence) held season ticket till 1986, then started moving round country, lost touch with RL apart from odd Hull game on TV.
Came to London 1990s, didn’t realise there was a London team, 1999 saw Cas v Broncos on TV, we lived in Twickenham, opposite the Stoop! Went to next home game with son, have rarely missed home game since wherever we have played........

| I used to get taken as a kid to the CC final at Wembley on most years......My Dad had a good ex army mate from Hull who we went with and him and a coachload of his family picked us up from our then house in Shepherds Bush and it was always a great day out....Moving forward 15 + years I met my wife and her nephews are from Widnes and both played at a decent level and I used to often travel up for any important games they were involved in.......Then in the late 90's I wandered into a Broncos game at the Stoop which is only a 8 minute drive from our house and was hooked....Spent a bloody fortune over the years on family season tickets...travel....beer ect....but loved 9(almost) every minute of it..
