The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find us a pub within walking distance of the ground that has proper real ale for Saturday !! They say a couple of guest ales at the club will appear (via Twitter) but we start at Wetherspoons so by the time we arrive our need for a proper ale will be great!!

Have a look at this, Piggers. It gives the mileage from the Sports Bar to other pubs. I did notice from their tweet to you that they confirm a couple of real ales will be available in the Sports Bar adjacent to the ground and as I only intend to have one pint I'll probably park up and use that venue.

My choice would be the Queens Head in the High Street from the list, half a mile away. Is that too far for you and Brownie to walk/stagger?

Most pubs in the area seem to be Marston's establishments which doesn't fill me with joy.

Thanks Trek, knew you'd come up trumps

Beware As I live in Hinckley I can say Barwell has a rough element

Well it certainly will have on Saturday :lol:

Makes Rushden seem classy and that takes a bit of doing
