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.

KID'S GO FREE ON EASTER MONDAY

Boro will be allowing free entry to all children under 16 when accompanied by an adult, at the Easter Monday game against Borrowash.
Following the successful free entry scheme at the Pontefract home game in December, which saw Boro record their highest crowd so far this season of 605, the club have brought in a similar scheme.
Children under 16, attending the game with an adult, will be given free entry to the game on March 24th, as the club look to record their biggest crowd of the season with the Easter break giving a perfect chance to do so.
The club is also contacting all local schools to promote the offer, and leaflets will be handed out in town on the preceding Saturday, from the Boro stand in the Brunswick Centre.
The SAFC Supporters Club will also be making its Easter Egg Draw on the day of the game, and entries at just £1 are available at this coming Saturday's game against Gedling Town.
Boro have also decided to lay on 2 buses for supporters travelling to the game from Scarborough, Eastfield and Cayton. The fare is only £2.00 for adults and just £1 for concessions
We could be looking at a new record attendance for this game.
