Chris Millington’s Solihull Moors side will be in the hunt for their first victory of the 2026/27 National League season when they travel to Glanford Park on Friday to take on a Scunthorpe United side who are led by current boss Andy Butler. The Iron’s most recent game saw them go head-to-head with Eastleigh away from home, where they lost narrowly 3 – 2. Harry Sidwell, Aaron Blair, and Josh Lundstram were all goalscorers for the Spitfires on that day, whilst it was the likes of Alfie Beestin and James Gale who found the back of the net for Scunthorpe. Scunthorpe United Football Club have plenty of history, with the club being founded all the way back in 1899. Fast forward to 1910, the Iron decided to make the move to a new home, The Old Show Ground, based on Henderson Avenue. They would go on to play their home games for the next 80 years. Two years after they moved to the ground, they gained professional status. 1927 saw Scunthorpe join the Midland League before then going on to win their first piece of silverware on the eve of World War Two, winning their first Lincolnshire Senior Cup in 1939, and have so far won it on 23 occasions to date in their history. Jack Brownsword, who is Scunthorpe United’s leading appearance maker of all time, making 597 appearances for the Iron over an 18 year spell at the club following his initial arrival at the club in 1947. 1950 then saw Scunthorpe get elected to the English Football League, with their debut game seeing them come away with a goalless draw with Shrewsbury Town at the Old Show Ground. Then, a few years later, they got their record FA Cup victory to date when they were able to comfortably and ruthlessly beat Portsmouth in the Fourth Round of the tournament against Boston United in November 1953. In 1958, they won the Division Three title with a grand total of 66 points to secure their status in the next season’s Division Two for the very first time in the club’s history. The 1958/59 season saw them compete at the same level as the likes of Liverpool, Sunderland, and Sheffield Wednesday. Then in 1962, they were able to secure their best-ever finish in Division Two when they were as high as 4 th place by the time that the 1961/62 season came to an end. Their top goalscorer that season was Barrie Thomas with as many as 31 goals, which remains as the club’s all-time individual season record. However, by 1968 the club had been relegated all the way back down to Division Four following relegation after finishing bottom of the Division Three table the season prior. Things got worse in the following decade, with the Iron finishing bottom of Division Four, but narrowly avoided relegation from the English Football League in 1975. 1979 saw the arrival of Steve Cammack, who in two highly successful spells at the club scored no less than 110 goals, and he remains the club’s leading goalscorer of all time to this very day. Promotion was achieved back to Division Three in 1983, and then came a very historic moment a few years later. Scunthorpe United moved to their current historic home, Glanford Park, in 1988, leaving The Old Show Ground behind for good. Their current ground has a capacity of 9,200. Spaniard Alex Cavlo-Garcia arrived in 1997. Now a cult hero of the club, he won four consecutive Ernie Storey Trophies between 1997 and 2000. The Ernie Storey Trophy is awarded to the best player of the season as voted for by the fans. In 2000, they were in Division Two and got relegated in 23 rd place. Years later in 2005, Scunthorpe United were able to secure themselves promotion to League One from England’s Fourth Tier, League Two, after finishing in second place under the management of then-boss Brian Laws. Then in 2007, things got even better for The Iron; they earned another promotion, this time to the Championship. Led by the formidable Billy Sharp, who scored a sensational 32 goals on his own, the club won the League One title after earning no less than 91 points in the 46 matches that they played in that season. In 2010, Scunthorpe United hosted Manchester United at Glanford Park, where a record attendance of 9,077. They would go on to spend a few years in the Championship until 2011, which is when they were relegated back down to League One after finishing bottom in 24 th place in England’s second tier at the conclusion of the 2010/11 campaign. Relegation from League One then came in 2012/13 when they finished in 21 st place. They did, though, secure an immediate return to the third tier in 2014 after finishing as runners-up. Striker Sam Winnall lifted his second successive Ernie Storey trophy that season. Fast forward to 2017 the ended up in the playoffs in the third tier after finishing in third place, though they were knocked out in the semi-finals and missed out on Championship football for what would have been the second time in their history. Things soon fell apart for Scunthorpe when, in 2019, they ended up being relegated down to League Two after a 23 rd place finish. This culminated in relegation from the English Football League and down into the National League for the first time which ended their 72 year stay in the Football League. By 2024, they found themselves in the Sixth Tier, the National League North, which is the lowest division that the club had ever been in their history to date, and this remains the case. They were not there for long, as they would go on to win the 2025 National League North play-offs to re-secure their status in the National League. The trophy was lifted by manager Andy Butler. Last season, the 2025/26 season, was their first back in that division, and they would go on to finish in 5 th place with a grand total of 82 points being secured from their 46 games. They lost in the semi-finals against Rochdale, who would go on to win the Playoff Final on penalties against Boreham Wood. In the opposition dugout – Andy Butler Current Scunthorpe United boss Andy Butler has been in charge ever since his appointment was confirmed back in May 2024 after being promoted from his previous position as one of the club’s first team coaches. He led the club to promotion from the Sixth Tier when The Iron secured this achievement thanks to a 2 – 1 victory over Chester. A Scunthorpe favourite, he spent 7 years at the club over three spells, playing for them between 2002 and 2008, 2019 and 2020, and then again between 2023 and 2024. Butler also played for the likes of Grimsby Town (Loan, 2006), Huddersfield Town (2008 - 2010), Blackpool (Loan, 2010), Walsall (2010 – 2014; Loan 2014), Sheffield United (2014 - 2015), Doncaster Rovers (Loan, 2014 – 2015; 2015 – 2019; 2020 - 2021), Boston United (2021), and Farsley Celtic (2023 - 2024). Key Player – Danny Whitehall Danny Whitehall is a prolific striker who has played for Scunthorpe United ever since he signed for The Iron back in 2023. So far, he has scored as many as 38 goals in just 76 appearances for the club to date, and he should continue to score goals over the course of the current, ongoing 2026/27 Enterprise National League season. He scored 19 goals and got 4 assists in the league last term. Before joining The Iron, he has spent time playing for the likes of Southport (2014), Marine (2014), Prescot Cables (2014 - 2015), Chattanooga FC (2017), Bugeaters FC (2018), Maidenhead United (2019 - 2020), Kilmarnock (2020), and finally Eastleigh from 2021 to 2023. Opposition Overview written by Adam Holt
Solihull Moors are delighted to announce the signing of defender Craig Farquhar on a short-term loan from Barnet until 18th September. The 23-year-old centre-back arrives at Damson Park having joined the Bees earlier this summer following two and a half years with Crystal Palace. A Northern Ireland Under-21 international, Farquhar began his career with hometown club Ballymena United, signing his first professional contract at 18 before progressing into the first team. He gained further senior experience during a loan spell with Dundela before joining Larne, where he won the NIFL Premiership and County Antrim Shield. Farquhar also featured in a Champions League qualifier against Finnish side HJK Helsinki. His performances earned him a move to Crystal Palace in January 2024, where he represented the club’s Under-21 side and played a role in its Premier League International Cup-winning campaign. The defender also captained Palace’s Under-21s on several occasions and scored the winning goal on his Northern Ireland Under-21 debut against Serbia in March 2024. Speaking about Farquhar’s arrival, Moors boss Chris Millington said: “Craig is a player who brings good experience for his age and gives us another strong option defensively. He’s physical, comfortable on the ball and has already played in some really competitive environments, including senior football in Northern Ireland and at international level. We’re pleased to bring him in and look forward to seeing the contribution he can make during his time with us.” Welcome to the Moors, Craig! 💛💙
Three defeats on the bounce has saw Chris Millington’s side get off to a disappointing start to the 2026/27 campaign, but all eyes will be on Saturday’s visit from Southend United – hopeful of grabbing their first points of the season. The Moors suffered defeats to Harrogate Town, Boston United and Middlesbrough’s U21s so far this month in what’s been a frustrating start to the campaign. Up next for Solihull is a home fixture against Southend United, a clash in which has proven to be a tricky objective for Moors teams in the past. Solihull currently find themselves 23 rd in the standings, though of course the league table means absolutely nothing for almost the majority of the season. Ahead of Saturday’s early kick-off, here is everything you need to know… —— An overview of Southend United: It’s a fresh look for Southend United this summer, following a summer of change in which they said goodbye to several first-team starters including Gus Scott-Morriss, Harry Boyes, Keenan Appiah-Forson and Collin Andeng-Ndi. Similarly, FA Trophy-winning manager Kevin Maher has also departed after his sides failure to secure promotion back to the EFL and has since been replaced by former England international Keiron Dyer. As a result of their busy summer of outgoings, the club have had no choice but to be busy in terms of incomings too – with the likes of Darren Oldaker, Josh Popoola and Anthony Hartigan amongst several new recruits for the Shrimpers. Southend finished the 2025/26 season in sixth-place but lost to Scunthorpe United in the play-off quarter-final stages, 12 months on from their Wembley heartbreak and will be eager to avoid a repeat this time around. —— Head-to-head: Unfortunately for Moors fans, the head-to-head battle between the two clubs isn’t one to celebrate. Since 2021, Solihull have won just two of the ten meetings between the two sides – most recently coming in April 2025 when Elliot Thorpe scored a superb cross/shot in a 1-0 win at Roots Hall. You’d need to go back to October 2021 for the last time Solihull beat Southend at Damson Park, when James Ball scored a second half penalty in a 2-0 win. Though the last meeting was a goalless draw back in April, five of the last six meetings prior to that ended with Southend winning 17-3. —— Tickets: Tickets for Saturday’s clash against Southend are available now via the Solihull Moors website. The prices are as follows; Adults (25-64): £22.00 Concessions (65+): £18.00 Young Adult (16-24): £11.00 Kids (12-15): £7.50 Under 12s: £1.00 Reminder that children U14 need to be accompanied by an adult as per National League stadium regulations. —— Getting to the Stadium: Damson Park is located just outside of Solihull Town Centre, just under three miles to be exact. If supporters are travelling by train, there are two relatively close stations that serve the stadium. The first is Solihull Station, which is three miles away (10 minute car journey), whilst Birmingham International Station is 3.4 miles away. From either train station, supporters can board the x12 service which will take you to the stadium – though tickets need to brought either on the bus or via the NX West Midlands App. If supporters are arriving by car, the stadium is located on Damson Parkway, next door to gate two of the next door Jaguar Land Rover site. Parking is on a first come basis. —— In the dugout – Keiron Dyer: The man in the hot seat for Southend United this weekend will be former England international Keiron Dyer. Dyer has been in charge since the summer and has taken control of just two matches thus far. Both of those games have ended in victories for the Shrimpers – edging past Scunthorpe United with a 1-0 victory as well as beating Altrincham 3-1 on the opening day of the season. —— We hope to see as many of you as possible at Damson Park ahead of Saturday’s clash with Southend United.
