Just reading football grounds guide

The ground is walkable from the town centre, albeit a long one! (20 minutes). Robert Smith recommends the Peacock, Rickys Bar and the Bradley Mills Working Mens Club. They are all located on Leeds Road, about five-ten minutes walk from the Stadium. There is also a cinema and entertainment complex behind the North Stand, where there is the Rope Walk pub. However on my last visit all of the above bars were not allowing in away fans, although I did manage to get into the Rope Walk Pub (I was not wearing colours), where I enjoyed an excellent pint. Dougie Hames recommends the Gas Club on Gasworks Street; 'all fans and families are welcome. Bass beers, food available and you can also park in the patrolled club car park at a cost of ?2. The club is easy to find as it is right by the large gas holder'. Whilst Tim Oscroft informs me; 'The Head of Steam pub at the railway station is pretty good and serves food too'.

Otherwise it is probably best to drink within the ground itself, as there are open bars at the back of the away end. Roy Goodman adds; 'on our last visit Tetleys Or Carlsberg were available at ?2.80 a pint. Alas they no longer serve Guinness.'
