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.

4-1 AWAY VICTORY IN WEST YORKSHIRE.

Today saw Boro travel to league new-boy's Brighouse.

:The Boro line-up was as follows:

Bramley
Waltham
Wood
Kemp
Hartas
Griffin
Phillips
Hartley
Thompson
Hogg
Blott

SUBS:
Medcalf
Botham
Widdowson.

Boro did not have things all their own way throughout the first half and Dave Bramley in the Boro goal had a few saves to make to keep his team in it, however just before half time, penalty supremo Scotty Phillips got the chance to put Boro ahead from the spot after Dave Thompson was fouled in the Brighouse area, he made no mistake and the Boro team left the field 1-0 to the good at the half time whistle.
The second half kicked off in unbelievable fashion as Boro went from 1-0 to 4-0 in a matter of about 5 minutes.
Within one minute of the re-start Craig Hogg had put Boro 2 goals up and in the next minute Craig was tripped in the area, so up stepped Scott Phillips again to calmly slot the ball home from the penalty spot to give the Boro a 3 goal advantage.
Minutes later goal number four came from Ryan Blott, Brighouse later scored with a consolation penalty and that was to be the final score Brighouse 1 "Boro" 4.
The visit of Emley to Queensgate on Saturday should be electric, after the controversial game last season they are certain to receive a real "Queensgate" welcome.
Should be another 3 points for an ever improving "Boro" side.
