Thinking of going to Sheff quite early for a few beers,is Kelham Island pub within walking distance of the stn or do i want bus/tram. IIRC not to many real ale pubs in Attercliffe either

Bentleyman,


If it is still there (I haven't been for a couple of years) the Kings Head on Attercliffe road does (did) good real ale, about 5-7 mins walk to DVS. The Cocked Hat (next to DSV) did do some really good Pedigree up to about 3 years ago when it changed hands, again not been in there for a couple of years, so the Pedigree may have improved since the last time I was there.

There are some good ale houses just offthe tram stops on the way to/from Kelham Island from DVS, with the likes of the Devenshire Cat, Fat Cat (near Kelham Island), Red Deer and Wellington (previously the Cask & Cutler).

Though you might not see much of the game if you have a couple of beers in each.

Have a good day out on Friday.

Pretty nervous about this game...

Think after their defeat at home to Featherstone and the way in which they lost the NRC Final last year they will be pumped up for this one.

No doubt we will be too but I don't think we are on-form at the minute even though we have won our last three games.

Hoping for a win but I can't see it so I'm going to wimp out and not predict the score...

It's not as easy walk to describe to someome and the tram takes you a long way round and doesn't particular drop you that close either.
If you have google I'd let them work a route out for you

There are other real ale pubs close to the Kelham i.e. Fat Cat and Harlequin and Shakespeare on Shalesmoor


Have you been in the Sheffield Tap which is actually part of the station building or the Norfolk Arms is on Brown street a 2 or 3 minute walk?

Attercliffe for pubs is a desert never mind decent pubs.
The only one is the Carton again 5 mins from DVS

Is Cocked Hat still open? Going Eagles 20v22 Fax.

Cocked Hat is open every now and again and they don't have much to be honest, The Sportsman, under the bridge after Don Valley a 5 minute walk from the ground is your best bet.

Try the Cheeky VS, HL loves them!

Looking like a final rematch with Fev if we can get past Halifax, 30-10 up on Leigh with 27 mins to go, and thoroughly dominant.

Re: Official Match Thread - Halifax at Home (NRC SF) : Thu Jul 05, 2012 8:12 pm  

Featherstone 54-16 Leigh.

Brambani fit for the game after going off injured last week.

If the local weather forecast is correct we could be watching water polo tomorrow,

Forgive me for being cynical but I've seen us play in the rain this season and I don't fancy our chances in this weather. It's absolutely awful.
