Real Ale Ray left this review about The Old Ball
A large family friendly pub with plenty of room both inside and out. The front patio area was full on our visit as the weather was hot. The central bar area and lounge area was quite dark, even though it was bright outside, the dark painted ceilings and walls didn't help along with the dark finished bar and timberwork. There was a large mural depicting a brewing process as though this was some sort of brewhouse, which it isn't.
Leeds Pale and Doombar were on handpump along with numerous keg offerings along the bar counter.

A large open plan pub, which seems to have tried to go upmarket from a basic sports pub with dark decor and arty lighting. It still retains 2 pool tables and numerous sports screens, thankfully with sound off. There is a small patio outside overlooking a busy roundabout. Beerwise it had Leeds Pale and Doom Bar on pump in reasonable condition. Actually not unpleasant for what it is.

A community pub rather than any kind of ale house, just Doombar on on my visit, more drinkable than in many places. Lots of spaces with screens or pool tables. Obviously not to all tastes but close to the station and not bad for a quick one, more traditionalists would prefer the Queens next door.
