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.

BORO BATTLE BRIDLINGTON TOWN FOR MEMORIAL CUP

+The friendly match against Bridlington Town on Saturday could see Boro gain their piece of silverware as the winner of the match will be awarded the Bridlington Town AFC Memorial Cup, which has been kindly donated by G A Hebden Ltd, and it is hoped the trophy match will become an annual event between the two sides.
The trophy is in memory of all football supporters who are no longer with us.
Boro are likely to field recent signings Danny Gray and Rob Hoyle during the game, and Dave Thompson and Ryan Davies will also be available again, as will Craig Evans who was ill for the game at Frickley last week.
Brian France will wait for training on Tuesday and Thursday of this week for news of injured players Ryan Blott and Dave Kemp. Carl Wood is definately out and sees a specialist about his groin injury on July 30th. Trialists Rob Petch and Danny Watson may also be given a chance to show what they can do.
