Dafts - Darlington F.C,

A long overdue publication for the discerning football traveller is a "proper" guide to pubs on our travels. Bristol Rovers fan Richard Stedman, known as "Stedders", has decided to do something about it with a real ale guide to all football grounds in England and Wales.

As we said when he heard about his idea - a tough job, but someone's got to do it!. Stedders has produced four guides, one for each division, which he launched at the recent Great British Beer Festival. He was very complimentary about DAFTS and this website (a namecheck in all editions...many thanks Stedders), so we're happy to repay the compliment. This is his personal selection of the best pubs, with at least the top three ale pubs in each stopping off place. As well as the beer (and he isn't short on detail), he's also clearly soaked up the atmosphere. You get a sense of the friendliness and welcome at the various hostelries, which is on a Saturday afternoon, let's face it, just as important. While the guides' design and style could perhaps be a tidier in places, as a resource, they are invaluable. The schematic maps are also useful. And the guides themselves are each slim and compact enough to be portable - if he had combined them into one volume, they would be less useful as a "tool on the road."

We've all heard of the 92 Club, well this is the 4.2 ABV Club, and it makes much more sense to this anorak.

The Bristol Rovers programme for their game with Peterborough advertised the guides like this:-
