List of Scunthorpe United F.C. seasons

Scunthorpe United Football Club, an English association football club based in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, was founded in 1899 as the result of a merger between Brumby Hall F.C. and another club.^[1] The team first entered the national cup competition, the FA Cup, in 1909–10; they beat Withernsea 8–0 in the preliminary round before losing 4–0 to York City in the first qualifying round.^[2] In 1910, after amalgamating with North Lindsey United, the club took the name Scunthorpe & Lindsey United,^[1] and two years later, it became a member of the Midland League.^[3] The first team finished that initial season in the lower reaches of the table, but when competitive football resumed after the First World War, they enjoyed consecutive top-seven finishes, culminating in their first Midland League title in 1926–27, a success fuelled by 52 goals from former England international Ernie Simms.^[3][4] They again won the title in 1938–39,^[3] and it seemed for much of the season as if Harry Johnson was sure to overtake Simms' total, but he missed several matches in the later part of the season and had to settle for 49.^[4][5]

Scunthorpe made their first application to join the Football League ahead of the formation of the Northern Section of the Third Division in 1921; they were not elected,^[6] and their bids for election continued to fail until the League's next expansion, in 1950. The voting was tight, but Scunthorpe became one of two Midland League teams to join the Northern Section when each regional third-tier division grew from 22 to 24.^[7] They finished the 1950–51 Football League season in mid-table, and seven years later won the Third Division North title – the last season of that league before the regional divisions were amalgamated into national Third and Fourth Divisions^[8] – by a seven-point margin. They also reached the fifth round (last 16) of the FA Cup for the first time, defeating First Division club Newcastle United and holding Liverpool for 75 minutes before conceding the only goal of the match.^[9]

Ahead of their Second Division debut, the club dropped the Lindsey from its name, becoming plain Scunthorpe United.^[1] They spent six seasons at that level, and finished a club record fourth in 1961–62, five points behind the second promotion place. After four seasons in the Third Division, they dropped to the Fourth, in which they remained for the next 36 years, apart from three single-season ventures into the higher level; the last of those, in 1999–2000, came courtesy of their fifth attempt at promotion via the play-offs.^[10][11] The Football League rebranded their divisions ahead of the 2004–05 season, so that the fourth tier became Football League Two,^[8] and the change of name coincided with a change of fortune for Scunthorpe. Gaining promotion to League One as runners-up, ahead of Swansea City on goal difference, this time they not only stayed up but went on to win the League One title in 2006–07. Relegated in their first season in the Championship, they came straight back via the play-offs to spend another two seasons in the second tier.^[10][12] In 2008–09, they lost to Luton Town in the final of the Football League Trophy, a cup competition open to teams from the third and fourth tiers of the English football league system,^[13] and the following season, they reached the last 16 of the League Cup for the first time.^[10]

As of the end of the 2015–16 season, the team have spent 35 seasons in the fourth tier of the English football league system, 22 in the third, and 9 in the second.^[14] The table details the team's achievements in senior first-team competitions and the top league goalscorer, where known, from their debut season in the FA Cup in 1909–10 to the end of the most recently completed season.

Notes

1. The Football League Cup competition started in the 1960–61 season.^[8]
2. Unless individually referenced, top scorers in the Football League era are sourced to The Iron Alphabet up to and including the 1995–96 season^[17] – appearances and goals listed there are for League matches only, as confirmed at Neil Brown's site^[18] – and to Soccerbase thereafter.^[19]
3. From the 1960–61 Football League season onwards, divisions are sorted according to their level within the English football league system, and separately from the pre-Football League division.
4. The FA Cup was contested in 1945–46. From the first round proper to the sixth round (quarter-final), results were determined on aggregate score over two legs.^[2]
5. Club's highest Football League scorer in a season.^[22]
6. Two points awarded for the home fixture against Exeter City, which remains the only match in the history of the Football League to remain unplayed. Injury and influenza left Exeter with only nine fit players, two of whom were goalkeepers, but the League refused their request for postponements. They played one game, at home to Peterborough United, but on medical advice refused to travel the 300 miles (480 km) to Scunthorpe. They were fined £5,000 and ordered to pay Scunthorpe £1,000 in compensation.^[10][23]
7. Successfully applied for re-election to the Football League.^[24]
8. The 1981–82 season saw the introduction of three points for a win instead of two.^[8]
9. Lost 3–2 on aggregate to Torquay United in the play-off semi-final; the second leg was the last match played at the Old Showground before Scunthorpe moved to Glanford Park.^[27]
10. Lost 5–1 on aggregate to Wrexham in the play-off semi-final.^[28]
11. Lost 3–2 on aggregate to Blackpool in the play-off semi-final.^[10]
12. After beating Crewe Alexandra 4–2 in the play-off semi-final,^[10] Scunthorpe lost to Blackpool in the final on penalties.^[6]
13. The newly formed FA Premier League split from the Football League, and the remaining divisions of the Football League were renumbered upwards.^[8]
14. After beating Swansea City 3–2 on aggregate in the play-off semi-final,^[10] Scunthorpe won promotion to the Second Division by beating Leyton Orient on penalties in the final.^[11]
15. Lost 6–3 on aggregate to Lincoln City in the play-off semi-final.^[30]
16. From the 2004–05 season, the Football League divisions were rebranded: Division One was renamed the Football League Championship, and Divisions Two and Three became Football League One and Football League Two respectively.^[31]
17. After beating Milton Keynes Dons on penalties in the play-off semi-final,^[10] Scunthorpe won promotion to the Championship by beating Millwall 3–2 in the final.^[12]

At the moment, [Johnson] is the leading scorer in the Midland League, with 44 goals ... As far as Scunthorpe is concerned, he has still one record to break, and that is to beat the Midland League scoring record for the club set up by Ernest Simms, who scored 52 goals for the United in one season. Johnson has, of course, been out of the team for the last few weeks, but he still has time, if he recovers from his injury, to break that record.
