oldhamfan Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Never been to Halifax and was wondering what is the set up with regards beer/food at the ground. Do they serve alcohol and which stand is best to go in the North Stand or Skircoat Stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine most will go behind the goal standing, but it’s an open terrace and so open to elements. Also find open terraces aren’t great for generating an atmosphere.

ShireBlue Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 The terrace behind the goal is covered so don’t worry about that. Loadsa pubs and places to eat in Halifax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboy Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Been a few times both when it also was used as a speedway stadium when Latics played.Used to be a right dump but now it's really nice with cracking food outlet and bar under one stand we went in behind the goals .Only a short walk back to the station.

Yes probably the pick of the away days for me this season, short train ride over, plenty of decent boozers and stadium literally a five minute walk away, I'd hope we could take 3k after selling out York in no time. Should be a cracking day/night out particularly if we can find some form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 We should take a fair few but 3k is a little optimistic! We have yet to win away from home and in 16th place, just 2 points off the relegation places. I reckon 2k would be nearer the mark. Incidentally, just checked our match stats since Harry Kewell was sacked in March 2021 and we’ve won just 18 out of 82 a 21.95% win rate….which is absolutely dire!! Harry Kewell @ 41.46 had a better win % than both Joe Royle & Jimmy Frizzell and the 5th best in our history!! Considering our recent record our attendance’s are amazing!

Monty Burns Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 the viaduct is good for food and also for beer that needs to be hand pumped into a glass. its about 30mins from the ground almost literally in a straight line so maybe a taxi, but its a great pub.

I was saddened when the Hare and Hounds and Hark to Topper closed down in Oldham town centre - effectively killing it off as a place to have a decent "crawl". I`ve also heard that The Snipe is being demolished (!?). Oldham - a classis example of how to kill a town centre stone dead. Friends of mine get the tram to Rochdale now for their regular Thursday afternoon gathering. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayston Unity is a lovely (but small) boozer. Certainly meet your real ale criteria and would defo recommend. Not sure they food but there are at least 3 or 4 independent ale/IPA type places all within walking distance of each other. Know that Meandering Bear does Platter type stuff and good beer options.

Really good Thai gaff, too. It's a good place for a mooch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldhamfan Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Thanks for all the replies but the question I asked was about beer/food in the ground not in the town centre. Is the stand most Oldham fans will be in any good and does it serve beer and food ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
