At half time we were talking among ourselves about another fan who had taken up officiating and was expected to get the following years FA Cup Final. (He didn't but is a regular at the Euros and World Cup.) A well known Broncos fan turned round, started shouting who cares about Wendyball, football puffs etc.

Strangely none of the first timers ever came back.

There was also a lot of comments flying about when we went back to the Stoop which were aimed at the u
nion fans. I wonder how many union fans never came back after warching their first league game because of the insults.

Did we actually draw in many union fans at the Stoop?
Genuine question.
I used to see the odd few wearing Ealing RU colours/ logos at Trailfinders , but I suppose they would have been more easily seen. At the Stoop RU and most RL fans would all have been wearing the same colours.

We used to sit with a bunch of Quins RU fans at The Stoop, but they failed to follow the Broncos to The Hive.
I did see one at Perpignan at a Catalan away game. He had family who lived locally and he had timed a visit to catch our game.
When we had that game where a Quins game was followed by a Quins RL game. How many Union fans stayed to watch. Not many I recall.

Quite a few first half, not many second half. We lost 82-0 from memory?. I used to sit between two Quins RU fans at RL. One vanished at Barnet,. Sureyben who used to post here. The other remains an occasional visitor. Whilst mainly an RU man he used to volunteer with Broncos / Quins academy and had a cracking story about LMS as a junior.

If my memory is correct the first game of the season back at the Stoop we played St Helens after a union game so alot of the union fans stayed on. It was the home games after that where RL fans were having a go at the union fans. We had 2 union fans sat next to us who brought RL season tickets but stopped coming after 3 or 4 games because they got fed up with the insults.[url][/url]

WQ but why be insulting and downright rude about other supporters of the club? Is it a comment you would make face to face to those people? Or is it only something you would say hiding behind social media?

If you knew WQ you would never call him a keyboard warrior or a backstabber. There are enough of them at the club without including him, He tells it as it is either on here or to your face and sadly most people cant be doing with the truth

So any news on where we will be playing? It seems they have a back up for the CC games but haven't announced them.

It reminds me of the illegal Raves in the 80s where you drove around the M25 until you got the Post code messaged by text last minute off the farm location. I just hope Monkey has Keighleys bus drivers mobile number.

Mac out!
