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.

"WHEN I'M NOT CLEANING WINDOWS"

IT IS'NT JUST THE FOOTBALL THAT IS SUFFERING BECAUSE OF ALL THIS RAIN THAT WE ARE HAVING, MY MAIN OCCUPATION IS A WINDOW CLEANER AND IT SEEMS WEEKS AND WEEKS SINCE I HAVE DONE ANY DECENT AMMOUNT OF WORK.
SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC HAVE HAD GAMES AT TADCASTER AND BORROWASH CALLED OFF IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THE NEXT AWAY GAME AT DINNINGTON IS ALREADY CAUSING CONCERN BECAUSE OF RAIN.

BUT HOW LUCKY I AM TO HAVE BEEN BOUGHT A SETANTA BOX FOR CHRISTMAS, AS I AM WRITING THIS POST AT 22.10 HOURS I HAVE JUST WATCHED A LIVELY ENCOUNTER BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND ASTON VILLA IN THE PREMIERSHIP, THEY FOUGHT OUT A 2-2 DRAW, PETER CROUCH ONCE AGAIN LIVERPOOL'S SAVIOUR.
THE FOOTBALL STARTED ON SETANTA AT LUNCH TIME TODAY WITH A RE-RUN OF KEVIN KEEGANS FIRST PREMIERSHIP GAME OF THE SEASON AS MANAGER OF NEWCASTLE UNITED, THIS GAME WAS A BIT OF A BORE AS THE GEORDIES AND BOLTON MANAGED A VERY DULL 0-0 DRAW.
THE NEXT GAME TO BE SHOWN WAS THE BLUE SQUARE MATCH BETWEEN EXETER CITY AND OXFORD UNITED, THIS WAS A DECENT GAME WITH CITY THE EVENTUAL 2-0 WINNERS, FINALLY THE TEA TIME MATCH WAS THE FRENCH LEAGUE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN LENS AND LYON.

EVERY WEEK SETANTA SHOW LIVE GAMES FROM COUNTRIES SUCH AS SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, FRANCE AND PORTUGAL AND HOLLAND.

UP THE BORO...UP THE BORO...UP THE BORO...



ANYWAY SETANTA IS GREAT VALUE FOR THE £9.99 PER MONTH THAT IT COSTS, BUT I DO HOPE WE GET SOME FINE WEATHER SOON, MY BANK BALANCE IS NOT LOOKING HEALTHY AT ALL. I REALLY NEED TO GET ON WITH SOME WORK, BUT IF THE RAIN CONTINUES, THEN, THERE IS ALWAYS "SETANTA".
