yeah salford not exactly a nice place mate!!!!!!!!!!

That doesn't answer the question - are they served cask-conditioned or brewery-conditioned? As that question would only make sense to a real ale nut, are the beers served from a hand-pump or a keg tap (the Smooth is obviously the latter)? That will determine whether it is better to drink in a real-ale pub outside the ground, or go into the ground early and drink there.

I seem to remember that one of the bars had SA on handpump last season but I didn't get into the bar at the Hull game to check. If you want a decent pint of Real Ale your best bet is the Wetherspoons in town

I'm sure it's a keg tap, as in not the big fecking white one.

Have a few outside the ground if it's not to your liking.

If I can get to a game I'll certainly do that - Brains Dark is one of my favourite beers.
