THIS BLOG WAS CREATED FROM THE VERY BEGINNINGS OF SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC'S FORMATION

Scarborough Athletic F.C were formed on June 25th 2007 following the winding up order imposed on the old club after the local council turned down the club's survival plans. The club were finally forced into liquidation with debts of £2.5 million by a High Court judge, and so ended the club's magnificent 128 year history, no thoughts or consideration was to be spared for anyone connected with the club or the towns footballing public. However a trust had been formed and we were prepared for such a situation should it arise. The Seadog Trust applied to the Northern Counties East League to enter newly formed Scarborough Athletic and they were succesful in their application.
The new club are a continuation of the old one, they have the same kit, badge, motto etc and most importantly have kept a large number of the old supporters. This blog was started by me from the very beginnings of Scarborough Athletic FC and will follow the fortunes, both good and bad of the newly formed club as they try to get back to the higher levels of the football pyramid where they rightly belong. A rival team has also been formed 'Scarborough Town', I do not expect that particular club will have much of a future, but do they realise the damage that they are causing to the future success of football in the town, our town cannot support 2 teams, Athetic are here to stay, we are the town's number one football team and will return to the higher levels of the game in the next few seasons..


THIS BLOG WAS ESTABLISHED FROM THE BEGINNINGS OF SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC AND WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE CLUB ON THEIR JOURNEY BACK TO THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE. I AM NOT HERE TO ADVERTISE OR MAKE MONEY FROM 3RD PARTY LISTINGS, I AM HERE TO SIMPLY FOLLOW THE CLUB AND TRY TO KEEP THIS BLOG AS INTERESTING AS POSSIBLE. COMMENTS ARE WELCOME.

MATTY KENNETT INCIDENT.

AFTER READING THE VARIOUS COMMENTS REGARDING WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN MATTY AND "STU", I FEEL THAT I NEED TO EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT PLAYERS EVEN BEEN IN THE BAR WHILE THE GAME IS STILL IN PROGRESS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TEAM ARE BEEN COMPLETELY OUTPLAYED AND 4-1 DOWN AT THE TIME MATTY WAS SUBSTITUTED.
I AM A BIG FAN OF MATTY, AND FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN OF HIM, PRIOR TO THE BARTON GAME I THINK HE IS AN EXCELLENT DEFENDER, YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AT MY POST REGARDING THE LEEDS CARNEGIE MATCH WHERE I WAS FULL OF PRAISE FOR MY "MAN OF THE MATCH" KENNETT, HE ALSO SCORED TWO EXCELLENT GOALS, I WAS SURPRISED WHEN BOTH HE AND JON ELLWOOD WERE IN FACT SUBSTITUTED AGAINST BARTON, FOR MY MONEY ELLWOOD WAS THE BEST DEFENDER ON THE FIELD THROUGHOUT THE FIRST HALF, HE GAVE 100% EFFORT AND MUST HAVE WONDERED WHY HE WAS TAKEN OFF ALONG WITH MATTY, BUT I AM GETTING AWAY FROM THE POINT I AM TRYING TO MAKE, I THINK IT WAS BOTH UNPROFESSIONAL AND REALLY DISRESPECTFUL TO THE BORO FANS FOR THE PLAYERS TO BE IN THE BAR ON SUCH A DAY. MAYBE THE CLUB WILL LEARN FROM WHAT COULD HAVE TURNED INTO A NASTY CONFRONTATION AND SET SOME GUIDELINES FOR THE FUTURE.
