Scunthorpe supporters prep stadium for new season

A team of football fans have been praised by Scunthorpe United for making their stadium "a brilliant place to be".

The group swapped their scarves and season tickets for sweeping brushes and paint to get the 9,088 capacity Glanford Park ready for the side's National League campaign.

The Iron play their first home match against Woking on 16 August.

Julie Taylor, stadium manager, said: "I think they're amazing. To do what they're doing and to help the club is fantastic."
