Saturday 4th November I made my way to The Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park for a 14.00 pm kick off for the game between Sheffield City and Caribbean Sports as shown on The FA website.
There were some people using the all weather pitch but they finished in time for kick off.
It seemed confusing that there were only 3 of us there and when a man came with a bunch of keys to lock up the whole stadium my worst fears were realised. He told us that Sheffield City were not playing at the stadium but 10 minutes away but he didn’t know where. I squelched off to the car and off to a warm home and the football scores on the TV.
The FA website stated that they were playing at the Olympic Legacy Stadium but there was no social media for either team telling of a change.
To be fair on such a miserable wet day it turned out better to be at home.
Later in the day I looked at the Sheffield and Hallamshire County Senior Football League results to find that Sheffield City had infact played and beaten Caribbean Sports. I don’t know where.
I emailed someone who I believed helped run Sheffield City but he replied that he had moved on and had no involvement.
Oh well, if I find out in the future, I might try again.
