Batley:-I'll start this Batley crawl in....Dewsbury! Well it is only a mile or so away and The West Riding Refreshment Rooms (RA) on the westbound platform of Dewsbury railway station is an absolute gem. This multi award winning pub has about eight ales on at any one time and always on top form. On the train and off again in about five minutes and walk out of Batley station and straight into The Cellar Bar where 3/4 beers can be tasted. Down the hill now to Hick Lane and you will find The Union Rooms (W). This is a decent 'spoons where fans from both teams mingle freely and enjoy a very good range of real ales and food if needed. Just around the corner on Commercial Street is a great addition to Batley's ale scene. The Tap Room, ex Wilton Arms, has a great selection of beers on and offers a 20p discount to CAMRA members. Happy days! Enjoy your ale, enjoy the match.

Blackpool:-This isn't my favourite place, Bradford by the sea, but for those who are going a bit of legwork might just get you a decent session. There are four 'spoons in Blackers, all of which have the usual decent ale/food on. The Auctioneer near to Bloomfield Road is on the list of Wetherspoons to close so a word of warning there. In the centre The Pump & Truncheon on Bonny Street behind Tussauds is a good old fashioned pub with up to six ales on at any one time. If you want a pub with sport on tv The Rose & Crown on Corporation Street, close to the Grand Theatre, has Thwaites on and one changing guest beer. Food is served all day in here and children are allowed in to eat. Enjoy your ale, enjoy the match.

Pete, we usually start off at "The Albert and lion" it's always best to let the Peaky blinders get their rendition of "wan:ey wan:ey Halifax" in early.
Rather like the top floor of "The velvet coaster".
Pub behind Yates think it's "The Star" do bumper meat pies, but no chips.
Have a great weekend you and all Rugby Fans.

Whitehaven:-Another trip to Cumberland this weekend and let's hope the weather is better than our last visit! They've spent some brass on the town centre in the last few years, especially down by the harbour and it is here you will find The Bransty Arch (W). A decent enough 'spoons with a good selection of ales on usually including some local beers. On Lowther Street is The Vagabond which regularly has some of the best reviews ale wise in the town. As you leave the centre and head up towards the ground, The Conservative Club on Marlborough Street always has one decent hand pull on, I am reliably informed. Not a teal ale stronghold but if you can look around you can get some good supping done in 'haven. Enjoy your ale, enjoy the match.
