Rugby league history

A football ground built for Crawley Town, this venue's sole recorded rugby league fixture was a Challenge Cup Round 4 tie on 11 February 2001, in which London Broncos beat Batley Bulldogs 44-6 in front of 1,204 spectators, a figure that matches this site's recorded crowd exactly. London Broncos have used a number of London and South-East grounds over their history, and this appears to have been a one-off alternate venue rather than any ongoing tenancy.
