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.

LATEST NEWS FROM SAFC OFFICIAL WEBSITE

NICE ARTICLE HERE FOR APRIL FOOLS DAY....................
Just had a look on the "BORO" website and this little gem has been placed today (April 1st)
’East Coast Super Club’ could be formed
Officials at Scarborough Athletic are today thinking over a chance to form an East Coast 'Super-Club', following a proposal put to the board by Bridlington Town.
Boro's board have been given a deadline of noon today to respond to the proposal, which would include the building of a 10,000 capacity stadium on the Eastern side of Bridlington and the name of the club being either Bridlington & Scarborough United FC or East Coast Athletic FC.
The stadium will be built by Finnish construction company, Larpi Olofs Construction Ltd, and the Finnish national colours will be incorporated into the kit design.
A Boro spokesman said: "The offer is one which on any other day we would dismiss completely. However today is different and we will enter into talks with the Bridlington board and see what happens.
"Due to the tight deadlines it is impossible to communicate with supporters over the matter, but hopefully they will understand what is going on."
If the deal is successful it would see all the playing squads merge together as one, and the managers of each side becoming joint managers of the newly formed club. Other club officials' roles will be decided if the proposal goes ahead, but it is understood that the PA Announcer's job will be entered on the Job Centre website due to the current Scarborough announcer being no good.
The club expects to make a further statement after noon today.
