TODAY SAW SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC PLAY THEIR FIRST FRIENDLY FIXTURE IN PREPERATION FOR THE COMING SEASON.
THEIR OPPONENTS TODAY WERE HUTTON CRANSWICK, THE GAME ENDED IN A 4-4 DRAW, I WAS NOT PRESENT SO CANNOT COMMENT ON THE MATCH ITSELF, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD "BORO" HAD MANY CHANCES TO HAVE HAD THE GAME SEWN UP BY HALF TIME, HOWEVER MANAGER BRIAN FRANCE DID MAKE 9 CHANGES DURING THE GAME, SO REALLY TODAY WAS MORE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCES, CHECKING OUT THE NEW PLAYERS ETC THAN THE ACTUAL RESULT, SO HE WILL HAVE A FAIR IDEA OF THE SIDE HE WILL BE FIELDING NEXT WEEK AT FRICKLEY ATHLETIC, A TEAM THAT SHOULD GIVE US A MUCH MORE COMPETETIVE GAME THAN OUR OPPONENTS OF TODAY. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE JOURNEY TO FRICKLEY, IT SHOULD BE AN ENTERTAINING MATCH.
OUR TEAM TODAY WAS:
1-BRAMLEY (CAPTAIN)
2-HARTAS
3-KEMP
4-WALTHAM
5-ELLIS

SCARBOROUGH FOOTBALL CLUB WERE FORCED INTO LIQUIDATION AT THE END OF THE 2006-07 SEASON. A NEW TRUST RUN CLUB HAS NOW BEEN FORMED "SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC" AND THIS BLOG WILL FOLLOW THEIR FORTUNES, BOTH ON AND OFF THE FOOTBALL FIELD. UP THE BORO !!!
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.
