Stocksbridge Park Steels

Several people in red shirts are practicing on a grassy soccer field with a large white goal in the foreground under a cloudy blue sky.

A football match is being played on a green field with players in orange and white uniforms. A covered grandstand with blue roofing is visible to the right, and advertising banners line the perimeter of the field.

Two weeks after watching Rugby Town in action at their Butlin Road home, I saw The Valley turn in a much improved performance at Stocksbridge Park Steels on Saturday afternoon to earn an important point from a goalless draw in the Northern Premier League 1st Division South.

Bracken Moor, perched high above the steel town of Stocksbridge, is easily reached by car and public transport from Sheffield and the three-sided ground (with the main stand now named after former player Jamie Vardy) offers a number of different viewpoints from which to watch a match.

Admission prices are £7 Adults, £6 Concessions, £2 for 10-16's and free for accompanied Under 10's.

The next scheduled home fixture is against Lancaster City in the FA Trophy on Saturday 29 October.
