Rugby league history
Primarily and originally the home of Ealing Trailfinders rugby union club, who moved to the West Ealing site in 1999. London Broncos used it as their home ground in rugby league from 2016, playing there through the Championship, Super 8s, League 1, Challenge Cup and a 2019 Super League season, with Rugby League Project recording 75 rugby league matches at the venue between 14 February 2016 (London vs Swinton, Championship) and 12 September 2021 (London vs Featherstone, Championship). The ground's first televised rugby league match came on 20 August 2016 (London Broncos vs Leeds Rhinos, Sky Sports), and the rugby league attendance record of 3,051 was set on 1 September 2019, also against Leeds. The ground's all-sports attendance record (3,627) belongs to a 2019 rugby union fixture, Ealing Trailfinders vs London Irish in the RFU Championship Cup final.
Primarily a rugby union venue — Ealing Trailfinders' home ground since 1999 and a stadium-capacity barrier the club has repeatedly cited when denied Premiership promotion.
