About Stocksbridge Park Steels F.C. in brief
Stocksbridge Park Steels Football Club is an English association football club based in Stocksbridge, South Yorkshire. They currently compete in the Northern Premier League Division One South East. The club was formed in 1986 after a merger between two clubs, and uses a yellow and blue home kit. Former England internationals Chris Waddle and Jamie Vardy have both played for the team. They have participated in the FA Cup every year since 1992, reaching the 4th qualifying round in 2003. They first entered the FA Trophy in 1996 after previously participating in theFA Vase. The Steels spent five years in the Premier League, never finishing out of the bottom half of the table. They reached the Premier Division of the NPL in 2009, but were relegated back to Division one South in 2014. In the end of the 2013–14 season, the Steels qualified for the play-offs for the first time in their history, but lost in the semi-finals to Gealding United. The team have won the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup three times, most recently in 2011.
They also won the Northern Counties East League in the 1990s and early 2000s, and were runners-up in the League Cup in the 2000s. They are currently playing their home games at the Bracken Moor ground, which has a capacity of 2,000 people. They play their home matches in a ground that was once used by local rivals Worksop Town in the 1970s and 1980s, but has now been converted to a football ground. The ground is located on the edge of the town, and the club has a ground-share agreement with Worksop, which means the club can play its home games in front of a crowd of up to 3,000 fans. The stadium is also used as a training ground for the works team of the local British Steel Corporation plant, and another local club, Oxley Park Sports. The works club was admitted to the league in 1986, and played in Division Two before being placed in Division One when the lower division was discontinued upon league re-organisation in 1991.
