Gonna watch this in the Walnut Tree.

It's my new local isn't it.

Might get smashed off me face.

Bad times, any other suggestions?

There are no other bars within the area of the ground now. I don't know if they let away fans in the Cats bar to be honest.

How on earth will people cope for 2 hours without a drink?!

Don't know whether they do now but they have in the past ... me, for instance, even with a Leeds shirt on.


Anyway, best place pre-match is the Fernandes Brewery Tap, in Avison's Yard, just off Kirkgate.
There's always a bunch of rugby folk in there on a match day.
It's a bit of an odd place but very congenial and friendly with a great range of beer.

Sadly, it's about 15 mins walk away from the ground but if you're arriving at Wakefield Westgate railway station or at the bus station, it's more or less en-route.

I dunno. Doesn't bother me anyway. I'll be in the car so I won't be touching a drop anyhoo.

Any directions for that place? We've drunk in the 'Spoons in Wakefield before now, it's cheap and on the bus route, but I've heard good things about it and wouldn't mind trying it out.

Thanking you muchly.

Looks like I might manage a visit either pre or post match.

Kirkgate is the main street in town going towards Belle Vue.
When you get more or less level with the big roundabout (on your left), Avison's Yard is on your right.

When you find Avison's Yard, you might think "This is not the place" but it is.
When you start to go up the stairs into it, you might think "This can't be the place" but it still is.

Enjoy.
