Scunthorpe United is delighted to announce that the club will be officially launching their 125th anniversary season on Sunday, July 28th with an Open Day, which will also including a match on the Attis Arena surface.

IRON AID 2024
United's legends match, dubbed "Iron Aid" will see a number of former professional players return to the ground, giving Scunthorpe supporters the opportunity to take them on in a game.
Be in with a chance of being on the supporters team by purchasing raffle tickets for the event. It's just £10 per go, and the more tickets you have, the bigger an opportunity you have of being part of the squad. You can purchase raffle tickets by clicking here.
Want to guarantee your space on the team, and don't fancy your chances in the raffle? We have five spaces up for grabs costing £1,000 each.
We also have one very exclusive place on the ex-pros team, with an individual able to be part of the side for £2,500.
For either of these packages, please email [email protected].
All participants in the game will have a breakfast included at the Attis Arena on the morning of the game, followed by a light training session with your special guest manager, to be announced. You'll then have a quick tactics session to get you ready for your big match experience.
Not fancying a stint on the pitch, but want to watch some former legends take on some supporters? Maybe you'll have a family or friend take part, and you want to give them some support (or stick) from the sidelines. Tickets will be available for the game at £5 per person, with Under-16s admitted for free. These tickets will be available to purchase during pre-season.
All money raised from the Iron Aid match, and from the Open Day, will go directly to the football club as another fundraiser to help the club towards sustainability.
