My 4th game of the season and its another new ground, again within the Sheffield postcode area, only recently id found out about Kiveton, a lot of the teams at this level in the pyramid have been around years and have there roots in the great mining tradition of these small villages dotted around Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. situated down a cul-de-sac a couple of minutes from the main road running through kiveton is hard lane, nice big carpark and on entering there is a cricket pitch and clubhouse where you can buy a beer and take into the ground which is at the far end of the car park, Admission is free and also includes a free Programme as well! a lovely gesture! to the right is a small covered stand and the rest of the ground is the usual standing, and there's a snack bar as well, cold drinks, bacon sandwiches, chips and they also have club Badges available. there's a railway line behind the ground which runs to Worksop and beyond so its possible to get there by train as well as there is two stations in kiveton.
So yeah the game, pretty one sided game really, to be fair the opposition were a little bit unlucky really it was just one of those days that just wasn't to be yours (there's) a couple of early goals and a penalty just about killed Elmsall off pretty much before half time. It was a nice early autumn day and as i just sat and watched the game i just felt so chilled and relaxed a total calm came over me, the surroundings, the blue skies the odd train rattling past, just so much more laid back then the Hussle and bustle of watching the EFL etc.
Kiveton has a place in my heart and its one of my favorite grounds to revisit (which i have) the team struggled most of the season but had a good run towards the end putting some decent results together and managing to stay in the division. i thoroughly recommend visiting KPFC.
