Major Achievements
The Golden Generation
The term "Golden Generation" is more often used with U20 teams in mind, where a U20 qualification campaign is sacrificed to give more experience to younger players and make them stronger for the following campaign. With Scorpions it is slightly different. After reaching Division II the manager realised that the team was ageing and that it was going to be very difficult to progress any further into the Premier League. With that in mind all the players were sold (with the exception of U20 star Robert Loftus) and Scorpions embarked on a 10 season plan to the top. 5 high quality potential defenders were bought and trained in defending to form the backbone of the team. These 5 players will take Scorpions to the top and the plan is to win the Premier League before Loftus' 30th birthday. Even though he is currently at the start of the plan, the manager has full belief that it will work.
Logo
Pictured on the left is the classic Stinging Scorpions logo. Designed by the manager himself, the logo lasted around 10 seasons before being replaced by the current one (pictured in the infobox on the right), which was designed by a member of the logo thread on the global forum. Scorpions went through a drastic change as they started progressing up the leagues, including a new logo and kits, which is when this logo was replaced. Some fans can still be seen in the crowd wearing old kits with the old logo as a mark of their time supporting the club.
Arena
Pictured in the infobox to the right (click here for full view), The Scorpion Arena has a total capacity of 72,000 and hosts many events and every Scorpions game. A highlight of the arena was hosting a friendly between U20 England and U20 Suriyah. It is hoped more international games will take place there in the future.
Kits
Scorpions kits have always followed the same pattern of orange and black home kit with pink and white away kit. The first kits created in the more advanced designer program are pictured to the left and right. They were very basic with a little bit of flare and did the job for a few seasons. However as Scorpions progressed up the leagues it was clear more stylish kits were needed to go along with the new logo. With that in mind the current kits (pictured in the infobox above) were designed by the manager himself, taking a template of shadows and then creating the Full Tilt Poker sponsor badge and the rest from scratch. The outcome was very pleasing and the kits have been with the club for many seasons. Before the new logo designer was introduced however Scorpions had kits pictured below. The first was for a single season and was scorpions first ever kit. The second kit progressed in the same way as the modern ones have and was kept until the new designer was introduced.

Global Season 27 was the first for Stinging Scorpions, with the manager taking over after two league games (one won, one lost). The first game Scorpions ever played was against favourites for promotion AC Gingarno. It was not a pleasant experience for the home fans as the team of new boys lost 7-2. The score was 1-0 to Scorpions for a brief period when Ben Drane scored their first ever goal after 22 minutes, but it would always be tough against that opposition. Due to the obvious goalscoring talent, Scorpions started to train their boys in Scoring and began to play in more attacking 3-4-3 formations, also bringing in some new faces to train up in friendlies. The next two league games were both losses however, and it was not until Scorpions fourth league game that they saw the training pay off. After going 1-0 down at home to Breast Suckers United, the team rallied around and ran out 5-1 winners.
