I know. What a cheapo.

Somebody (ahem) did a detailed guide to the food and drink options of Headingley and its environs that used to sit on the SS.com website - sadly it got lost in one of the multitude of server crashes RFLANS used to experience on a regular basis a few years ago.

Perhaps someone familiar with the area would like to take up the challenge of re-doing it so we can post it as a sticky for opposition speccies?

Didn't Damo do one about six weeks ago?

Do you really want to eat in the same establishments that he does ?

Yes

Damo, just for you, I'll unlock your fekkin Rhinos Travel Thread ok ?

Only because I don't want to see you walking up my street tomorrow with a life sized cardboard cut out of yourself to tie to the lamp post outside my window.

And before you start thinking I keep a hoard of these messages. I found this yesterday looking at the start of the idle chit chat.

Hasn't the KFC in the Arndale gone all upmarket then?

Yes but their bins around the back are still the same.

I wouldn't say the Skyrack has many students in it at all, and it's really cheap. Likewise with the Headingley Taps. Skyrack is probably your best bet as it hasn't been that busy on recent Fridays. Though IIRC Woodies and the Three Horseshoes are your nearest stops.

Furthest, actually

They are staying at The Headingley Lodge (cricket ground)

Hmmmm,

Remember the night of the grand final, when we rushed back from our freebie at Old Trafford in the expectation that the supporters club would be heaving ?

How many others were in the bar with us ? Was it two or three ?

Fair point but at least Tarquin, Geniveve & Julian weren't there either.

I'd also recommend Arcadia in the Arndale centre. Some excellent ales in there and because (IIRC) they don't do electrified fizzy p!ss like Carling, it will be largely tax-dodger free.

Is that the place thats near where Jack Fultons is/was?

If so do they do a fine selection of non-alcoholic beverages for the tee-totallers amongst us?
