Foundation
London Griffins were formed in March 2005 as the supporters team of London Broncos and are now the Harlequins Rugby League supporters team. The club was formed as a social team to play against other such supporters teams.
The Griffins name came from the London Broncos former home ground at Griffin Park. The ground took its name from the Griffin in the logo of Fuller's Brewery, which at one point owned the land on which the stadium was built. The nearby Griffin pub was a popular meeting place for fans before and after London Broncos home games.

Famous quotes containing the word foundation:
“In strict science, all persons underlie the same condition of an infinite remoteness. Shall we fear to cool our love by mining for the metaphysical foundation of this elysian temple? Shall I not be as real as the things I see? If I am, I shall not fear to know them for what they are.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I believe that the mind can be permanently profaned by the habit of attending to trivial things, so that all our thoughts shall be tinged with triviality. Our very intellect shall be macadamized, as it were,—its foundation broken into fragments for the wheels of travel to roll over.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A full belly to the labourer was, in my opinion, the foundation of public morals and the only source of real public peace.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
