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.

24 HOURS TO SEMI FINAL DATE WITH YORK CITY

THE TIME IS 8.10 p.m AND IN JUST 24 HOURS TIME BORO COULD WELL BE A COUPLE OF GOALS UP IN THEIR SEMI FINAL ENCOUNTER WITH YORK CITY AND ON THEIR WAY TO THE FINAL OF THE 'NORTH RIDING SENIOR CUP'.
PLAYING AGAINST US IN THE YORK CITY DEFENCE WILL BE EX BORO PLAYER JIMMY BEADLE, JIMMY WAS THE LAST BORO PLAYER TO ACTUALLY SCORE FOR THE OLD CLUB ON THEIR HOME GROUND BEFORE THEY WERE WOUND UP LAST YEAR.
HE HAD PLAYED HIS FOOTBALL IN SWEDEN AND NORWAY SINCE THE DEMISE OF SCARBOROUGH FC, AND ON HIS RETURN TO ENGLAND WAS SNAPPED UP BY YORK CITY.
JIMMY WAS A FIRM FAVOURITE WITH THE OLD BORO FANS AND SHOULD RECEIVE A WARM WELCOME TOMMOROW NIGHT.
HE WILL OF COURSE BE OUT TO IMPRESS THE YORK HIERARCHY AND TRY AND ESTABLISH HIMSELF IN THE YORK CITY FIRST TEAM.
THE LAST BORO GOAL SCORED AT THE McCAIN STADIUM WAS SCORED BY JIMMY IN THE 1-1 DRAW AGAINST LEIGH RMI LAST APRIL.
