One of the first things I do now, when I know I’ll be visiting a new town or city, is check before hand which pubs are worth a visit. By pubs, I mean real ale pubs, and when I say visiting, most of this is done whilst following Bradford City around the country. Following a team that’s gone up and down all four divisions in the English League, does have its advantages.
Whilst for the last decade the likes of Everton and Rochdale have been stuck going to pretty much the same 20 away destinations, us hardy Bradford fans have visited more or less every ground in the country. This lends itself well to visiting a lot of pubs. I used to go armed with photocopied pages from my football ground guide books, then moved on to the excellent Football and Real Ale Guides by Stedders Guides. Now, with the advent of the iPhone, I go GPS equipped, Andy McNabb style with the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.
