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.

IT'S A GOOD JOB THAT BLOTTY SCORED THAT PENALTY.

I copied this interesting article from the local paper regarding Ryan Blott who had just got his first and also Scarborough Athletic's first ever hat trick in the 8-0 demolition of Borrowash.
STRIKER Ryan Blott almost felt the wrath of boss Brian France on the way to scoring Scarborough Athletic's first-ever hat-trick.
Blott scored three in Boro's crushing 8-0 home success against a shell-shocked Borrowash Victoria side, with his second from the penalty spot.This infuriated France, who always puts his faith in Scott Phillips to take the spot kicks.France said: “If he'd missed that then I'd have throttled him. Scott always takes the penalties, he handles pressure well and you can rely on him to put them away.“Ryan got up after being fouled and placed the ball down, which I wasn't best-pleased about. He scored though, so you can't complain too much.“It was a much better performance from Ryan throughout. In fact I think the first half was the best he has played for the club.“He was frustrated as he hadn't scored by the break. I told him to keep going and he scored three in the second half. “It was a great team performance. I said to the lads at half-time that they can't sit back on the three goals and they did'nt."


We are fortunate to have a manager like Brian France, he is well respected in the game and the trophies will surely come to the club as we progress through the leagues on our way to The Conference, or Blue Square if you prefer that name.
UP THE BORO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
