There are few sights sadder for any sports fan than a decaying football stadium. Earlier this week I took some pictures of Kettering Town's derelict Rockingham Road ground, which has been empty since 2011.
Kettering Town currently play their home games at the ground of rivals Corby Town. They are bottom of the EvoStick Southern League, having had 10 points deducted during the course of the season, a transfer embargo and speculation the club would not complete its fixtures. Although their results have been relegation material, a spirited fans campaign is keeping the club alive, after 140 years of tradition.
You can view the Poppies Fans forum here, and listen to Poppies Radio for match commentaries, and follow Save KTFC on twitter. Or better still if you are in the area - got to a match and show the team some support.
Excellent stuff: real football, unlike the bastardised show-biz version loved by Sky TV.
