As a Bulls fan myself and Chairman of Shaw Cross I’d like to offer Bulls fans the chance to use our facilities on Matchdays.

We’re less than 5 minutes walk from the Dewsbury ground, we have a decent sized car park and very reasonable drinks prices.

I was thinking of charging £3 for parking and with your parking ticket you get a free drink when you order any other drink (hot drinks, soft drinks, draft beers).

Would this be something that would interest people?

Would have been if I'd not bought the Car park pass

Must be an Olympic Class Walker if you can do it in 5 mins

Sounds a great offer.
Google maps states an 11 min walk to the ground rather than 5??

I wouldn’t have said it was 11 minutes but I might be wrong.
I’m not the most active bloke in the world and I’d say it’s a very steady walk.

Ok so it might be 10 mins but that's knack all and you're helping support a local amateur club with a bull as chairman. Seems fair enough to me.

10 mins might be "knack all" to you and thats great but for someone who travels with an oap or has a problem with their knees it might be a touch too far.
I was just trying to establish which was more accurate, 5 or 11 mins

Fair enough. I'll just declare my competing interest of also having a problem with my knees. Shaw Cross club (presumably where we'd be parking) as opposed to the Rugby pitches is probably a steady and fairly level 6 or 7 minutes I'd say.

I'm a pensioner too and have fairly dodgy knees (too many marathons, half marathons and 10ks I think) but I walk to and from Odsal on matchdays from Tyersal so I doubt I'd get warmed up with just11minutes.....

Thanks, thats all i needed.

That sounds a great deal. And if I'm helping another amateur team too, all the better. Thanks mate!

Very good offer Brett, I will definitely use when attending if you do it! Enjoy coming to Shaw Cross (much more than Thornhill haha).Need to send you a DM mate

I won't take the bait.

Feel free to get in touch.

I think that's very generous of the club and not only good offer your support a local club too, wish there was more like you

Hi Everyone,

Just to confirm we'll be open on Sunday before the game.

Come in any time from 12.30. Parking will cost £3 and with your parking ticket you'll be entitled to a free draft beer, soft drink or hot drink with the purchase of any other draft beer, soft drink or hot drink.

Hopefully I'll catch up with some of you there.

Im not that familiar with the surrounding area of the ground. Do you have the address or postcode of your club house please

Postcode is WF12 7HP. You'll pass our playing fields on your right as you come down Leeds Road, opposite a Jet garage. When the lane splits back into two by an infant/nursery school stay to the right and we're on the right had side down a private road. The right turn is directly opposite a shop called Northern Domestics and in between a Chinese takeaway and a sandwich shop.

Could you be more specific?

Perfect! I know exactly where you mean but had no idea you were hidden away down there. I look forward to visiting when we play Fev on our second home game of the season

I very much doubt it.


I've had to direct people in there once or twice before.

Might sound a bit daft but couldn't you put a fluorescent sign on a lampost on match days pointing down to the club.

That would be a bit lazy in my opinion. Surely it would be better to stand at the entrance in a Bullman suit gesticulating toward the carpark. Maybe from about 1pm.

I'd be up for that if I could get hold of the suit.

We’ll be open Tomorrow for anyone that wants to pop in for a drink, or to try our new food menu.
