We normally end up in sam platts but you can get the odd "Bell" turn up .

Griffin Head -> Nelson Arms -> picked up by ones driver -> Old Trafford -> Griffin Head

Park up at the Railway club as always. Food & Drinks in there for a while then have a walk to Sam Platts.

Although if it's bloody rammed and full of idiots throwing beer at each other again I won't bother.

Not a Rhino fan but will be in premier in Oldtrafford Friday 4.00pm ish few deinks on the night then saturday up all you can eat breakfast wonder round shoppoing centre with wife in the bar by 12 and start to soak up the day hopefully some good rugby banter and general rugby chat with other fans and then watch the game from the east stand as a neutral

Stopping at home with the Missus this year, she's treating me to a Gaucho's steak takeaway while we watch it on TV.



Lovely stuff.

Leave home around 5:00pm, and walk to a local pub

Go out and get absolutely smashed at about 12.



Leave around 3 for more drinking on the coach.



Drink around the stadium.



In the stadium for about 5.30, take my seat next to Jerry Chicken, be loud and abusive and probably be sick on him.

swarcliffe coach , drink in servicemens club , not taking any cans to near the ground to be confiscated at the top of the road

I know, a very annoying rule. I don't really understand why us good natured and well behaved RL fans are trusted to behave (and usually do) at Wembley, but not at OT.

Being able to drink in the stands at Wembley enabled avoidance of the packed bars, and getting into the stadium early, to sit in the stands with a beer. Worth the extra 50p a pint or whatever it was.

Only two bottles per person aswel?!



Oh well, I guess that's enough for one for the person that's buying, and one for the birthday drink they'll be buying me!

What a smashing pub that is, but then again Joe always did know how to run a good pub, The New inn in Churwell was also great whilst he had it
