Southern Reiver

Challenge Cup Final relocated to Orrell. I mean its close by.

30 mins on the 110 bus for less than £3. Home by 5.30

Have the game at Banbury then and we can test your theory. Suits everyone as its half way between both grounds

Cru still exist. This will be a tough year but you are still there. Chance to build towards next year.

In the main characterisation of them. Club had core ground in each season and through circumstances has used others occasionally. As have other clubs including Wigan deciding to play a game at Millwall. It could mean 33% of Wigan's homes have been outside Wigan. The one I'd query is Hilton Park, Leigh. If info is from RLP on 92/93 season its wrong. RLP show whole season which is clearly wrong. May have been one game but which was it, if it happened. Neither Rothmans nor Fulham to Wembley are helpful in clarifying?

By my reckoning Fulham/London Broncos (shorthand) have had 10 main grounds over the years. These are, and games at these venues by my estimates as at end of May 2026 are: Craven Cottage (67 games), Chiswick Polytechnic Stadium (109), Crystal Palace Sports Centre (59), Barnet Copthall (16), The Stoop (161), The Valley (41), Griffin Park (58), The Hive (28), Trailfinders (73), Plough Lane (51). There are then 22 grounds where games have also been played a number of times often when main ground wasn't available and over course of time. Plus those 'on the road games' when SL were almost interested in developing the game. These include Naughton Park (2), Stamford Bridge (1), Lower Mead, Wealdstone (1), Station Road (1), Central Park (1), Claremont Road (6), Welford Road, Leicester (3 - we might have been away team on one of these?), Kingsmeadow, Kingston (2), Rodney Parade (1), Broadfield, Crawley (1), Carcassonne (1), Talbot Athletic Ground, Aberavon (1), Aime Giral, Perpignan (1), Brewery Field, Bridgend (1), Brisbane Road, Leyton (1), Priestfield, Gillingham (2), Mosely Road, Esher (1), Adams Park, Wycombe (1), The Rock, Roehampton (9), Ebbsfleet (7), New River (1) and Richmond Athletic Ground (4). The 33rd people mention is Tynecastle that Broncos were only ever as far as I can tell the 'away' team. Any corrections grateful. Then there are the Magic Weekend and Summer Bash games Millennium Stadium (3), Murrayfield (2), Etihad Stadium (3), Bloomfield Road (4), Anfield (1), Headingley (1), LNER Community Stadium (1), Elland Road (1). Whichever of these are actual 'home' games I'd be interested to know.

You know the rules.

Aware you weren't asking but as a useless fact, 5/8 is mid point between 1/2 (scrum half) and 3/4 (the back line) so stand off is the five-eighth. Probably originally comes from RU.

Halifax did playbsome good stuff and then some not so. Possibly a little disjointed but hardlyba surprise. Theybdid get over the line three times, double movement, held up and denied due to a forward pass. There were a few line balls if thats the acceptable term that both sides gotvaway with early in tackle counts. Perhaps ref trying to keep the game moving. Broncos scored early as Fax hadn't really sorted themselves out. Number of mistakes from Broncos, mostly dropped ball and players getting white line fever when had a 3 man overlap. Fax got quite a bit of possession near the line without much reward. Broncos lost two play makers with HIAs at almost same time just before half time. Both failed their HIAs so 18th man was triggered. Halifax scored first in second half. Broncos did enough but took some time to get going and missed a few goal kicks. Seemed to be quite a few players needing treatment for leg injuries a couple with cramp in second half. One Fax player was carried to bench. Tannoy quality wasnt great so can't say I understood the team announcements for either side. However for Halifax the day happened and the team turned up.

2062

Whatever happens on the pitch at Halifax, the fact they are on the pitch at all is a win. The result may or may not be pretty but being there again is the main thing.

oh and a home game against Leeds in the Aime Girral in Perpignan in 2025

Lancashire Cup round 1 in 1984/85 Fulham played a home game against Swinton at Station Road. Also played at Wealdstone FCs old Lower Mead ground last 3 games of the same season. Also a game in 2000 against Salford at Kingsmeadow

Might be up to clubs to agree dates of these fixtures. One or both might be waiting to see what weekends they have free after cups before announcing dates

Think the person announcing the attendances learnt their trade at Henson Park.
