Scunthorpe United originally played at the Old Showground , which was located towards the centre of the town at the junction of Doncaster Road and Henderson Avenue . In the wake of the Bradford City disaster of 1985 , it was determined that substantial improvements would have to be made to the Old Showground in order for it to meet new regulations , improvements which the club could not afford . Ultimately it was decided that the best course of action was to relocate to a new out of town site , with the sale of the land occupied by the Old Showground being used to raise much needed revenue for the club . After the club relocated , the Old Showground was demolished and replaced by a Safeway supermarket , which was subsequently sold to Sainsbury 's in 2004
