Coming over by train, is there any "familly" pubs near the ground?
When I say familly I mean let kids in not the ones with ball pools and numbered tables!

There is a good family pub on the main roundabout with Bradford Road, HardIngs Road and Airevalley Road. It was busy the last time we went and that was without thousands of Cas fans. The park opposite is also good for a kickabout with the kids.

I remember my 1st game at Cougar park. The 1998 Cup game v Wigan. The place was packed. Helens right though, those days are dying, and this is a way to try and bring them back. You only have to have watched the tv games the last couple of years and seen the empty stands.

I remember Andy Farrell's pass out the back on the right wing in that game, led directly to a try, superb skill, we also signed a Wigan player on loan on the recommendation of John Monie, a second rower, Gerry ...

76-0 was the score. Gerry.. sufferd a knee injury in his first game for us, went back to Oz as a result, what on earth was his surname...(senior moment)

Do you mean "The Beeches"? I think that one has numbered tables seeing as its a carvery restaurant as well as a residential hotel.

I think that sherburntiger60 is looking for a proper pub but I can't think of one near the railway station or the ground.
