The club reverted back to the original in the 1950s. The intention was to create ‘the strongest team in the district’ (Staff, Scunthorpe United Football Club, 8). The club further changed its name to ‘Scunthorpe and Lindsay United Football Club’ when it amalgamated with another local club in 1910.

See Robson, ‘ No one likes us, and we don’t care’ or Finn in Brown, Fanatics! Power, Race, Nationality, and Fandom in European Football for example.
