?????????? Translator?

Dunno, what language is it? Looks like he's talking bollox.

Nothing new there Norman. Tezzer worries me lately.

Terrific idea - will be keeping an eye on this. Thanks!

KEIGHLEY:-This is the total opposite of Widnes. Keighley is a brewery town well stocked with real ale pubs. The pubs are just that, proper boozers, not bars like in a lot of town centres nowadays. The Livery Rooms (W) is just outside the bus station and worth calling in for summat to eat if needed. The Boltmakers Arms on East Parade is Keighley's smallest pub and was my favourite for years. A pub not to be missed with the full selection of Timothy Taylors ales. Turn right out of here and left onto Coney Lane and you will find The Cricketers Arms. A couple of Taylors beers in here and usually three guests. Back up past the bus station by the roundabout you will find The Brown Cow. This is exactly what a public house should be. The beer is spot on, the service is spot on and the atmosphere is just right, no swearing in here! As a bonus, smack outside the turnstiles at the ground is Keighley Cricket Clubs bar. The last time I was at Lawkholme Lane I popped in here for a quick gill and to my surprise had a wonderful pint from The Loch Ness Brewery, amazing. Enjoy your ale, enjoy the game!

Sowerby Bridge:-This one is for fans coming off the M62 at J22 and entering Halifax from the west. The Jubilee Refreshment Rooms(RA) on Sowerby Bridge station is a great refurbishment of an old railway building. Usually 4/5 ales on in here, mainly from local breweries. The Commercial Inn (W) on Wharf Street is a relatively new addition to the 'spoons portfolio and a pretty good one at that. Look for the glass floor in the back room! Just over the road you will find the Hogshead Brew House. No expense spared here in this conversion of an old mill. Half a dozen real ales on in here, some from local Halifax breweries. The pub has it's own brewery which should be up and running soon. Enjoy your ale, enjoy the match.

SHEFFIELD:-For those of you who are able to go to Sheffield on Friday night the city has a real treat in store for the real ale fan. This is a city centre crawl as the ground is in a field near Rotherham somewhere! At the railway station you will find The Sheffield Tap (NI). A great refurbishment of an old refreshment room, the pub has a bewildering array of ales on, and although pricey its not to be missed. Exit the station and walk diagonally through the bus station and you will reach The Bankers Draft (W) A massive 'spoons on two levels. Outside jump on a tram to the West Street area and get off near The Swim inn, a Wetherspoons due to close down I am led to believe. Just behind this is The Bath Inn (NI) is Sheffield's equivalent of The Three Pigs. Six ales on in here. On nearby Wellington Street you can find The Devonshire Cat(RA) Twelve handpumps in here! and very nice food. Enjoy your ale, enjoy the match!

I'm not an expert on them HJ, iI'll leave that to you!

hope get in a mention for the leggers for dewsbury match pete.. tiger bitter mmmmmmm

WORKINGTON:-Not the best area for real ale and a stop at Cockermouth is the best bet. On the main street is situated The Bush Inn. A warm welcome here with 4/5 ales on and good food. Turn right out of here and walk onto the Market Place to reach the Castle Bar (RA). This again does good food but has a great selection of ales. Very atmospheric in here. If you are going straight to Workington The Henry Bessemer (W) is on the road down to the ground. A large 'spoons with the usual ales on. In the centre tucked away on Portland Square is The Green Dragon Hotel. A friendly hotel where you can get B&B and has a couple of hand pulled beers to try. Enjoy your ale, enjoy the match.
