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" STUNNING IN 5-0 VICTORY OVER DECENT GRIMSBY BOROUGH SIDE.

A TREMENDOUS ALL ROUND TEAM PERFORMANCE GUARANTEED "BORO" THREE WELL DESERVED POINTS IN THIS LEAGUE ENCOUNTER.

GRIMSBY WERE NOT THE PUSHOVERS THAT THE SCORELINE SUGGESTS, BUT BORO WERE JUST SUPERIOR IN EVERY DEPARTMENT.

BORO STARTED IN THEIR USUAL FASHION AND COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN 4 GOALS UP BEFORE CRAIG HOGG EVENTUALLY FOUND THE BACK OF THE GRIMSBY NET IN THE 24th MINUTE FOLLOWING A BOTHAM FREE KICK

BORO CONTINUED TO DOMINATE AND IT WAS HOGG AGAIN WHO SCORED BORO'S SECOND GOAL, THIS TIME CONNECTING WITH A CROSS FROM HARTLEY.

IT REMAINED 2-0 RIGHT UP TO HALF TIME AND BORO FANS WERE SENSING A HAT FULL OF GOALS IN THE SECOND HALF, IT WAS IN THE 64th MINUTE THAT BORO WON A CORNER AND IT WAS DAVE THOMPSON WHO PLACED THE KICK PERFECTLY FOR SCOTT PHILLIPS TO HEAD THE BALL HOME AT THE FAR POST.

SCOTT GOT HIS SECOND AND BORO'S FOURTH GOAL 9 MINUTES LATER FROM THE PENALTY SPOT, HE WAS IMPEDED IN THE AREA AND TOOK THE RESULTING PENALTY HIMSELF AND SCORED IN TYPICAL FASHION. BORO WERE BUOYANT AND IN SPITE OF GRIMSBY HAVING A COUPLE OF CHANCES THEY NEVER LOOKED IN ANY DANGER AND THEIR CONTINUOUS PRESSURE PAID AS RYAN BLOTT GRABBED GOAL NUMBER FIVE IN THE 86th MINUTE.

TOMMOROW SEES BORO TRAVEL TO WEST YORKSHIRE WHERE THEY WILL FACE ANOTHER OF THE LEAGUES NEWCOMERS "BRIGHOUSE" IN WHAT PROMISES TO BE AN EXCITING GAME.
BRIGHOUSE HAVE HAD MIXED FORTUNES IN THEIR START TO THE NEW SEASON, THEY HAD A TERRIFIC 2-0 WIN AT TEVERSAL ON THE OPENING DAY OF THE SEASON, BUT THEY FOLLOWED THAT WITH A HOME DEFEAT AND A 4-4 HOME DRAW AND ON SATURDAY WENT DOWN 3-2 AWAY TO PONTEFRACT COLLIERIES.
THERE SHOULD BE LOTS OF TRAVELLING SUPPORTERS AND A GREAT ATMOSPHERE CAN BE EXPECTED, AS BRIGHOUSE THEMSELVES COULD WELL HAVE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED FANS IN THE GROUND.

UP THE BORO........
