History

The original Scunthorpe side were known as Scunthorpe Saints from 1972 to 1978 when they rode at Quibell Park Stadium on Brumby Wood Lane, and then Scunthorpe Stags from 1979 to 1985 when they rode at Ashby Ville.

The Scorpions won the Premier League in 2012 defeating the Somerset Rebels 92-91 on aggregate.
