Kids drinking Irn Bru, Scotch Pies on sale and a mix of accents - East Midlands and Scottish - this is not a normal East Midland town, this is Corby, where many of the population came south from Scotland to work in the local steel works.
The locals - no mater what their accent is, are very happy with the current football being played at Steel Park, a young team, hardworking, fast full backs and plenty of goals in the team - and with the 3-1 win today they move into second place in the league.
The ground itself is only 6 years old, built at a large sports complex on the edge of the town, with their old ground, the Rockingham Triangle athletics stadium next door. A modern ground but the main stand has a distinct roof making it stand out and the terrace is named after a modern Corby hero, a young soldier who won the Victoria Cross in Afghanistan - James Ashworth.
So if you like good football or Scottish drinks and pies, get yourself along to Steel Park.
