The Scunthorpe Scorpions are a speedway team in the British Premier League.[1] After three successful years in the Conference League the side were accepted into the Premier League for 2008. A new team, the Scunthorpe Saints, was formed and continued riding in the Conference League and later the National League with the main aim to develop riders for the Premier League side.
The original Scunthorpe side were known as Scunthorpe Saints from 1972 to 1979 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 club also run more speedway events than any track in Britain with a wide range of amateur meetings, open practices and mini-track sessions providing excellent opportunities for riders to gain track time and develop their skills.
