I be at the game on friday night and wondered any good pubs near ground?Can you drink in the ground as hope be a good atmosphere.Be a close game i think again.I glad we playing you again as we can see where we need to improve and it the end of season that matters most.I remember us dominating castleford early in the season then they beat us well in grande final.May best team win.

Both the Pump Room and The Three Pigeons are quality freehouses with a good range of real ales for the discerning toper. To locate either follow signs for the railway station and turn left out of station entrance, both within 1/4 mile on the way to the ground


If you're feeling ,ore adventurous try The Shears Inn at Paris Gates which is close to the high rise block a the bottom side of the ground

Bring your MOD 90 ID card - you'll get in for nowt.

you can get a pint in the ground also.

yes but can you with it been a cup Game? i have to argue with the grumpy git at the gates every week , it really upsets him leeting me in for free



can the club clarify if its free on friday for soldiers?

On Friday, come dressed as Private Pyle. Stare menacingly at him whilst giggling like a loon and dribbling spit. Then reach into your pocket....................

You won't even need your MOD card - his foot will be so fast on the turnstile pedal it'll make your head spin.

The Pump room as a beer festival on as well.

Thankyou everyone and like that film mate.Private parle makes that a classic.lol.Hope it a great game and may the best team win.Hopefully we are both in finals of northern rail and grand final.Unless draw each other in semi.lol.

i am in tears laughing.

I spoke to the club about this at the start of the season and my MOD90 is only valid if Season tickets are valid so its a tenner on friday.

With this in mind I have emailed all other championship clubs to enquire if they intend to run a similar offer. So far only Widnes have replied, saying they do not currently run the same incentive but if enquiries were made prior to a fixture, free tickets may be issued.

As has been mentioned previously, I have also had the predictable arguement with the turnstile staff but in true British Army fashion always always educate them in the errors of their ways!!

Are you traveling up from Devon by any chance?

Thats a hell of a drive on a Tractor

never been a problem for me, in fact i would go so far as to say all turnstyle operaters that have let me in have quite cheerful and happy - keep up the good work ladies and gents

Call in at The Shakespeare, a five minute walk straight up from the railway station on your right. A lovely pint of beer and some discerning, friendly conversation to be had here with the locals in this quaint hostelry.

Mate i travel from gloucester.I in widnes now as work shifts mate.If ever get to gloucester and i off i give you a lift to their.

Thankyou look forward to game now.

Officeboy is now planning a mini-break in the West Country

Just watch out for the low flying chair/pool cue/drunk (delete as appropriate) as you enter.
seriously though it's always an interesting experience t visit the "Shake" but not one I'd recommend to a first time visitor (unless they were from Bradford)

Is the Bass House still open?

What about the Brass Cat

It's a pity the Buccanneer is a little far away, always a quality spot

A stagger and a trip down from shakey is the railway - they have kareoke on a friday and some silly old sod walks around banging his walking stick into you and then blames you for it and mumbles summat about youth.

dont ever go there

Reminds me of my walk from the Train Station to Barum Top prior to the Salford TV game last season.


2 Women fighting outside the Railway, got up as far as the Bass house where there was a big ruckus going on and half of West Yorkshire Police in attendance, then saw 2 lads having a heated argument a bit furthur up just before arriving at Whetherspoons.

All that at half past 4 on a Thursday
