Featherstone:-On my last visits to Post Office Road I have only found one pub of any interest to the real ale lover The White House on Pontefract Road at Purston. This is a small Sam Smith's pub with the usual Sams beers on. A nice tidy little pub was this. Our trips use to take in Wakefield where amongst the many watering holes we would call in at Harry's Bar down a ginnel opposite Westgate Station. All of Ossett Brewery beers on and a few others to chose from also. At Wakefield Labour Club (The Red Shed) a warm welcome awaits and 4/5 rarer beers can be had. Out of Wakefield on the way to Fev, and at Heath Common you will find The Kings Arms (NI). This is another Ossett pub but with other ales on as well. This pub is great in the summer as you can sit outside on the common as you drink your ale. A multitude of small rooms inside where good food is also served. A short drive will take you to Fev from here. Enjoy your ale, enjoy the match.
Pete, what about the Fev Hotel?with Rotherham Fev Fan ,in attendance and Gingdong ,and Fevgrinder as support acts.

Ey up Ian, Regretably Dave, (Fevgrinder) can't make it, will be on the lookout for Robin however. Never met Gingdong, he seems quite a forocious person but, no fear there, Mrs halifaxjohn makes him look like a pussy cat.

Ian its about real ale. We missed you down The Shay, went down Sowerby Bridge pre match, but hope to see you at your place.
Most definatelying Pete, I went in the 3 Pigeons,and then was in your Supporters Bar under the East Stand,were I saw Bentleyman, and later bumped into Halifaxjohn in the car park,as you already know I'm a teetotaller and know nothing about real ale, though we sell it at the Caroli pub in Wigan, Bombardier being our special.Hopefully I may see you at the Blackpool Bash, as I intend being there both days,if I don't I will hopefully see you for the return game at the LSV. Fax had a very good result on Monday against the Bulls and did Leigh a big favour,we are not playing that we'll at the moment , but you can't get any higher than Top of the League.

If going via Wakefield I would recommend the Fernandes Brewery Tap & Bier Keller, which is now an Ossett brewery owned pub/brewery, but still produces it's own beers. IIRC this pub opens at midday on a Sunday.
There's an interesting series on BBC 2 at the moment. It's the Hairy Bikers doing a tour of British pubs. Weekdays at1830 called The Pubs that built Britain it's not necessarily about real ale, more historical but interesting none the less. So far they have done Yorkshire, The Lake District and Manchester. Tonight is Cornwall. Magic Rock Tap, Ringmaster 3.9 % Mmm!
