The formation of Scarborough Athletic Football Club.
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 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.
A new manager was brought in "Brian France"and the team kicked off their first season of existence with a friendly against local team "Edgehill" and played out a 0-0 draw, their first competetive game in the Northern Counties East League Division One was away to Teversal, a game Athletic lost 2-1.
Because of the club's finacial situation, they are presently playing their "home" matches 20 miles down the east coast at Bridlington Town's Queensgate ground.
AFC LIVERPOOL HAVE DECIDED ON THEIR NEW CLUB CREST.
