"Coming a little bit earlier to try and catch the Liverpool v Man U game in pub so just wondering which is the best pub for football close to the ground."

Boot Room. Got 2 large screen TVs, will certainly have footie on both and a big LUFC pub so will be shouting for Liverpool.

It's opposite the ground but it will be packed

Try Albion Street WMC (the Nash) in the Town Centre - less people in and footy will be on the big screen.

Best real ale pub anyone?

I heard one called The Junction is quite good. Does anyone know where it is?

I would imagine most pubs other than the glass blower (no tv) would be showing the game. The liberal, or whatever it's called nowadays used to have a massive screen in the back room and I'm sure that the lamplighters will have it on too. All those mentioned by others and myself are only a minute or twos walk from each other and around 10 mins from the ground so fill your boots.

Anglers Club and British Legion near the Train Station will have it on.

Coming early on Sunday to get parked. the plan is to have some grub, anywhere decent you'd recommend. Got kids.
Cheers

not really in the town centre mate, you're best getting off at the Cas/Ponte junction of the M62 as normal and nipping to the Xscape - Nando's, Chiquito's, Frankie n Bennie's, TGI Friday's.....

It's only a 5-10 minute drive then from there to the town centre

Cheers Dave. Just been doing a bit of googling and it brought up Glass blower. No good.?

I'm a Sunday dinner man non a that Foreign rubbish.

Beef n yorkshires.

Glass Blower is a Wetherspoon's so that might suit you better - but with it being a 5 minute walk from the ground it's usually heaving from 2pm.

f you're getting here around noon then you'll be fine there, and you shall have your roast beef!

Hello Major Black.

If you try the Birchwood Farm on the Asda roundabout at Glass Houghton I don't think you'll be disappointed. They do a carvery with roast beef and yorkshires and get very busy so give it plenty of time.

The desserts are so big you'll be sick but they let you take away.

Roundabout is just other side of Xscape
