Earlier this morning I was getting ready to go to Clumber Park to meet some friends; a day out and a bit of a walk, socially distanced of course? Well, the first thing to do is to look up the local football club at/near our proposed venue and then I might just get some inspiration for this blog. Lord knows, I need it.
Worksop Town FC was one possibility, Shiresbrook FC another and Clumber Park FC???? I think not, though there is a quaint thatched cricket pavilion in the grounds, "a nail on" for any historic estate and house. No football pitch in the grounds, maybe footy might have been a bit rough for the past owners and their friends.
But have a look here: http://www.kivetonparkfc.com/history/past-players/.
This link takes you to a very thorough club history http://www.kivetonparkfc.com/history/ and the link will take you to other parts of the club. It is the oldest club in the borough of Rotherham, founded in 1881. The club website is excellent-I am sure some tecky expert will find faults but wouldn't it be nice to be able to have this at our club? 2. Herbert Chapman. His name appears in the links. Chapman was one of the great football managers of ALL time and he had his origins at Kiveton.
These links will take you to previous mentions of the Kiveton FC, which now plays at the local Wales High School in the Sheffield and Hallamshire Div One.
