HEAD TO HEAD
The two clubs have met just 5 times before, but only three times in the league. City have won 4 and drawn 1 game in the series to date, including a pair of victories in the two home games. Despite the small number of previous clashes, we have actually faced the Iron at four different venues.
EARLY MEETINGS
The initial encounters came in the two legs of a League Cup clash in the 1987-88 season. City won the first leg, at Filbert Street, by 2-1 thanks to strikes from Gary McAllister and Mike Newell. The return leg was staged at the Iron's former home of the Old Showground, shortly before the move to Glanford Park, and City repeated the dose, again winning 2-1 with Paul Reid and Jari Rantanen on target.
RECENT HISTORY
The Iron were last at the Walkers Stadium in March 2008, when the Foxes won the game thanks to a sole strike from on loan Lee Hendrie. Earlier this season, City won 2-1 at Glanford Park in November, courtesy of goals from Lloyd Dyer and Andy King.
SEQUENCES
The Foxes remain unbeaten in all five previous meetings.
MARKSMEN
To date, no player has scored more than one goal in the series, with all 10 strikes being shared equally amongst 7 Foxes and 3 men from United.
DEBUTANTS
Just one player has made his City bow against the Iron. That was loanee David Bell in the fixture at the Walkers Stadium lasdt March.
FOOT IN BOTH CAMPS
Just a handful of players have represented both clubs over the years. The list includes Ian Baraclough, Jack Bowers, John Buckley, Matt Elliott, Paul Groves, Stewart Hamill, Terry Heath, Jack Hobbs, Geoff Horsfield, Marc North, Malcolm Partridge, Nicky Platnauer and Kevin Pressman. In addition, former City players, Frank Soo and Allan Clarke were both past managers of Scunthorpe.
Planning on using my old man's senior citizen season ticket for the match. Does anyone know if they will let me in with it or will i have to pay an extra fee?
You should go to the ticket office and pay the extra amount. If the turnstile guy notes the yellow stripe on the edge of the voucher and notices that you are under 60, he should turn you away.
Or he could try it and then if the turnstile guy turns him away, then he could go and pay the extra fee.

Would the ticket office definitely let him do that?

They will. But they probably shouldn't because season tickets are supposed to be non-transferable.
Hmm. We've upgraded from an U8 season ticket to an adult loads of times this season with no problems. Never even struck me that there would be.
I've checked the terms and conditions under which season tickets are issued, held and used. It is clear that season tickets are transferable but only with prior notification to the ticket office. This applies even if no upgrade is required.
One thing that people who lend/transfer need to bear in mind is that if the person who uses the ticket behaves, the season ticket may be withdrawn without compensation.
And I also saw another thing there that surprised me. I was aware that L1 and N ticket holders could be moved elsewhere when the away team takes their full 15% for a cup game, but I had no idea that the club reserves the right to clear out the whole of the North Stand to give to away fans in league games.
I assume you mean mis-behaves, otherwise that is a stupid rule :icon_wink

Have a look at the Liberty statue tonight. Someone's stuck a scarf and a trophy in it's hand!
