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.

"THE WRATH OF BRIAN" back to winning ways.

Scarborough Athletic got back to winning ways last night, but it took a strong team-talk by boss 'Brian France' at half time to get through to some of the players and get them to improve their game.
It had been another desperate display in the first half and Brian let some of the players know exactly what he thought of their performances and attitudes to the games.
He hinted that certain players thought that they were better than they actually are, well - whatever it was he said certainly did the trick as a revitalised Boro took to the field for the second half and turned the style back on.
Boro had gone in at half time 1-0 down, the Hall Road goal coming from ex Bridlington Town forward 'Paul Parmer' in the 8th minute of the game, that was the highlight of the whole first half.
But as I said, the second half turned out to be a vast improvement after boss 'France' had "talked" to the players, it took Boro just 5 minutes to get back on level terms as Ryan Blott set up young Ryan Morton to slot the ball home for Boro's opener. Waltham, Widdowson and Wood all had good games in the Boro defence and towards the closing stages of the game it was Craig Hogg who deservedly scored Boro's other 2 goals in the 70th and 89th minutes to give Boro a much needed victory and three well earned points.
So, an excellent second half performance gives supporters renewed hope for the return match at Rainworth this Saturday, the crowd last night was about 100 down on Saturdays, let's hope for a good turn out on Saturday for the trip down the A1 to Nottinghamshire.
