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.

BORROWASH ATHLETIC WASH-OUT ?


WELL, SATURDAYS GAME AT BORROWASH IS LOOKING VERY DOUBTFUL, ACCORDING TO THE BORO WEBSITE, THEIR PITCH IS UNDER WATER NOW (THURSDAY NIGHT) AND MORE RAIN IS FORECAST. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE ONLY 200 YARDS AWAY FROM THE RIVER, NOT SOUNDING GOOD AT ALL !


THERE IS TO BE A PITCH INSPECTION AT 8.30 ON SATURDAY MORNING, BUT AS I SAY, IT REALLY WILL BE A MIRACLE IF THE PITCH IS PLAYABLE BY SATURDAY. I AM GOING TO WATCH BRIDLINGTON TOWN PLAY IF THE BORO GAME IS OFF, I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM YET IN LEAGUE ACTION, SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN CLASS BETWEEN TOWN AND BORO. WATCH OUT FOR A DETAILED REPORT ON THEIR GAME, SHOULD BE POSTED SUNDAY TEA TIME.


FANS WHO NEED TO KNOW IF SATURDAYS GAME IS ON CAN PHONE THE BORROWASH ANSWERPHONE HOTLINE AFTER 9.00 a.m SATURDAY, THE NUMBER IS 01332 669688.........................
