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.

AFC LIVERPOOL ANNOUNCE DETAILS OF FIRST EVER MATCH

''AFC LIVERPOOL'S' FIRST EVER MATCH WILL BE AGAINST ST HELENS TOWN ON WEDNESDAY JULY 16th.

SAINTS ARE ONE CLUB THAT HAVE HELPED 'AFC' GETTING ESTABLISHED, THEY PLAY IN THE VODKAT LEAGUES TOP DIVISION AND WILL OFFER A STERN TEST TO THE NEWLY FORMED 'AFC LIVERPOOL'.

SAINTS WHO NORMALLY PLAY IN A RED STRIP HAVE KINDLY AGREED TO WEAR THEIR CHANGED STRIP OF BLUE SO THAT AFC LIVERPOOL CAN PLAY THEIR FIRST EVER GAME IN THEIR ALL-RED STRIP.

THE GAME WILL BE PLAYED AT ASHTON TOWN'S "EDGE GREEN STREET" GROUND.

WHEN FC UNITED PLAYED ST HELENS TOWN IN 2006 THE GAME ATTRACTED OVER 1,700 FANS, IT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD IF THAT ATTENDANCE CAN BE BETTERED.

'AFC LIVERPOOL' ARE HALF WAY TO REACHING THEIR TARGET OF 1,000 CLUB MEMBERS BEFORE THE START OF THE NEW SEASON, THEY HAVE JUST SIGNED UP THEIR 500th MEMBER AND THE SIGNS ARE LOOKING GOOD FOR REACHING THEIR TARGET.

AFTER SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC I WILL BE WATCHING THE PROGRESS OF AFC LIVERPOOL WITH GREAT INTEREST.
