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.

PREPARING FOR THE NEW SEASON AHEAD.

THE DRAWS FOR THE "NCEL" CUP COMPETITIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AND "BORO" HAVE BEEN DRAWN AWAY IN THE TWO RELEVENT DRAWS.
THE "PRESIDENTS CUP" WHICH IS COMPETED FOR BY ALL THE PREMIER DIVISION SIDES AND THE TOP 8 IN DIVISION ONE FROM LAST SEASON WILL SEE "BORO" TRAVEL TO BOTTESFORD TOWN. LAST SEASON'S LEAGUE ENCOUNTERS WITH "TOWN" BROUGHT A 3-1 DEFEAT IN THE AWAY FIXTURE AND "TOWN" HELD US TO A 1-1 DRAW AT QUEENSGATE.
THE "WILKINSON SWORD TROPHY" TAKES BORO AWAY TO DONCASTER BASED "ASKERN VILLA". VILLA FINISHED LAST SEASON AS CENTRAL MIDLANDS LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION CHAMPIONS, SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING IN SEEING THE DIFFERENCE IN LEVEL OF FOOTBALL BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES.
IN THE ONLY OTHER NCEL CUP COMPETITION "THE NCEL CUP" BORO WILL TACKLE LEEDS CARNEGIE, THAT DRAW TOOK PLACE LAST WEEK AT THE LEAGUE AGM IN SCARBOROUGH.
IT IS NOW ONLY 9 DAYS BEFORE WE PLAY OUR FIRST PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY FIXTURE AWAY TO GOOLE TOWN AND THE TEAM HAVE HAD THEIR FIRST TRAINING SESSION AT BISHOP BURTON COLLEGE, OVER 30 PLAYERS WERE IN ATTENDANCE UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYES OF MANAGER BRIAN FRANCE, DARREN FRANCE, DEREK EXLEY AND NEW RESERVE TEAM BOSS JIMMY REID, THE SESSION WENT WELL AND FOR ME 3.00p.m SATURDAY JULY 5th AT GOOLE TOWN'S "VICTORIA PLEASURE GROUND" CANNOT COME QUICKLY ENOUGH.
