Broadside and OP at The Harvey Arms at Finningley, both in top condition. Just one little gripe, get the log fire on more, when its a tad cool outside, and it would be a top notch boozer.

Oldham last Saturday evening after a trip to the Reebok ...

Greenfield Vanilla Stout 5.2%, Robinsons Roadrunner 4.0% & Moorhouses Black Cat 3.4% in the Up Steps (Wetherspoons).

Titanic Cappuccino 4.5% & Dark Star Original 5.0% in the Ashton Arms.

JW Lees The Govenor 3.8% in the Boat and Horses.

The Vanilla Stout and the Cappuccino were very nice as one-offs (couldn't drink them all night). The Dark Star brew was the best of the evening.

Warrington on Saturday evening after the Reebok (intention to complete the pub crawl planned after the Dons victory at the HJ - it was incomplete that night due to the incessant rain) ...

Ring O'Bells - closed ... not a good start (but did at least get in that one last time)
Marquis of Granby ... Pedigree and Abbot (hopeful of better to follow)
Bulls Head ... Brains Bread of Heaven (very nice)
Tavern ... Butcombe Old Vic (also very nice)
Lower Angel ... Their own Tipsy Angel Winter Warmer (at 6% nice but only one required)
The Looking Glass (Wetherspoons) ... O'Hanlons Port Stout (again very nice)

A very enjoyable evening.
