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.

SCARBOROUGH EVENING NEWS-TOP NOTCH REPORTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AM I THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE READ YESTERDAY'S "SCARBOROUGH EVENING NEWS" AND THE DIABOLICAL FRONT PAGE ARTICLE "THE BIG BORO SELL-OFF".
THE MANNER IN WHICH THIS ARTICLE WAS PUT TOGETHER, SHOWS A COMPLETE LACK OF FEELING OR RESPECT FOR THE FOOTBALL CLUB AND WHAT HAS HAPENED TO IT.
WHOEVER DID THE RESEARCH FOR THE ARTICLE DESERVE TO BE GIVEN THEIR P45 AS THE ARTICLE WAS LITTERED WITH MISTAKES.
BORO DID NOT HOLD CHELSEA TO A DRAW AND LOSE THE REPLAY 1-0, THERE WAS NO REPLAY AS BORO v CHELSEA WAS A 4TH ROUND TIE WHICH CHELSEA WON AT THE FIRST ATTEMPT, AS I AM SURE EVERBODY ELSE WOULD KNOW, ALSO THE ARTICLE MENTIONED BORO LOSING THEIR 125 YEAR HISTORY, THE CLUB WAS ACTUALLY IN IT'S 128th YEAR WHEN IT WAS SO HARSHLY FORCED INTO LIQUIDATION.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS REPORTER FEELS ABOUT AS MUCH CONCERN OVER THE DEMISE OF A ONCE GREAT CLUB AS THE LOCAL COUNCIL, PRESS AND THE MAJORITY OF THE TOWNSFOLK.
SORRY IF THIS POST SEEMS HARSH, BUT THE TRUTH OFTEN IS JUST THAT.
