History
[edit ]Scunthorpe Rugby Club was formed in 1929 and played its first fixtures in a field owned by a local farmer, on the condition that the goal posts were moved after each game so that the animals could return to graze. From these humble beginnings the club progressed to a stage whereby it was able to move to its own ground, Heslam Park, in 1952.
