Kettering Town F.C. (1897–2011) |
Rockingham Road was a football stadium in Kettering, Northamptonshire, England. It was home to Kettering Town F.C. from 1897 until 2011.
At the time of its closure, the ground had a capacity of 6,264, of which 1,800 was seated.
In September 2017, the land was sold by the owner, Ben Pickering Limited. The site was first identified as a potential site for housing in 2005 by the local authority, and press reports indicated that the new owner was likely to use the land for a housing development.[1]
During November 2017, the entire stadium and associated structures were demolished and the site cleared for redevelopment.[2]
