| Major Achievements
| | |
| Scorpions' biggest achievement thus far is reaching Division II in England after successive promotions. More detailed info is in the complete history section, but the short story is that after seasons of languishing in VI and V the team won two V leagues, one IV league, and one III league with qualifier in consecutive seasons to promote from V to II in 3 seasons. Cup runs, hatstats & stars records, and many more statistics can be seen at the bottom of this page. Scorpions have in recent times had a habit of outperforming the team abilities by winning matches and leagues against better opposition on paper. This remains a great achievement and helps motivate the younger players at the club.
| | ===Emblem=== |
| Logo
| | In the past, when the club level was yet to turn at a Professional level, the club representing the Islands of Favignana already had an emblem but with the acquisition of the team falling in the hands of [[User:GAMB1N|GAMB1N]], a modernization phase took place at the club, whereas the emblem and the team kits were revised in order to correspond with the modern standards of our era. |
| Pictured on the left is the classic Stinging Scorpions logo. Designed by the manager himself, the logo was in place from the start of the club in season 27 until it was replaced by the current one in season 40 (pictured in the infobox above). The current logo was designed by a member of the logo thread on the global forum and was the result of Scorpions going through a dramatic presentational change in season 40 as they started progressing up the leagues (as too was the introduction of new kits - more below). Some fans can still be seen wearing old kits with the old logo as a mark of their time supporting the club.

| Arena
| |
| Pictured in the infobox above, The Scorpion Arena has a total capacity of 72,000, is a formidable place to play and has hosted many Scorpions games. During their promotion push from division V to II during seasons 38 to 42, Scorpions managed a run of 30 home games undefeated. Considering the calibre of opponents played during this time, this is considered a great achievement for the club and shows exactly why The Scorpion Arena is so feared. Two highlights of the arena have been hosting U20 England vs U20 Suriyah and NT England vs NT Suriyah friendly games.

| Kits
| |
| The kits of Stinging Scorpions have undergone many changes over the years as kit designer programs, as well as the skills of designers themselves, have improved. However the colour scheme has always remained constant - Scorpions' kits have always followed the same pattern of orange and black home kit with pink and white away kit.
| |
| The first kits Scorpions ever had only lasted two seasons and were highly basic, with plain colours and no details. In season 29 the kits were improved and more detail was added. These were pushing the limits of the "old" kit designer program though, and so lasted until the new designer was introduced in season 37. These early kits are pictured below.
| |
| The first kits created in the more advanced designer program are pictured to the top left and top right. They were very basic much like their earlier counterparts and lasted a similarly small time - 3 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 kits pictured to the bottom left and bottom right were designed, starting with a template of shadows and then creating the Full Tilt Poker sponsor badge and the rest from scratch.
| |
| All the kits above had been created by the manager himself, but with the kit makers in The GMC doing some great work more advanced and professional kits were attainable. A request was filed and GMC kit maker naldm13 gave his design (which included a mini version of Scorpions' logo and Nike ticks for
