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.

UNLUCKY BORO LOSE OUT TO INCOMPETENT OFFICIALS

ANOTHER APALLING REFEREE, AND 3 POINTS LOST TO ANOTHER INFERIOR TEAM.

BORO WERE KICKED OFF THE PITCH BY A SET OF THUGS MASQUERADING AS A FOOTBALL TEAM, AND WERE NOT HELPED BY YET ANOTHER INCOMPETENT REFEREE WHO DID NOTHING TO STAMP HIS AUTHORITY ON THIS GAME AND HE OFFERED THE BORO PLAYERS NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER FROM AN OVER THE TOP PHYSICAL RAINWORTH TEAM.

YET AGAIN BORO HAD SO MANY CHANCES , BUT PLAIN BAD LUCK AND TO BE FAIR SOME POOR FINISHING COST THE TEAM DEARLY AS RAINWORTH GRABBED AN UNDESERVED WINNING GOAL JUST TWO MINUTES FROM THE FINAL WHISTLE.

DAVE THOMPSON HAD CAME CLOSE FOR BORO, AND YET AGAIN WAS MY MAN OF THE MATCH, MEDCALF ALSO DID WELL AND WAS UNLUCKY NOT TO HAVE HAD HIS NAME ON THE SCORESHEET. SCOTT PHILLIPS RETURNED AS A SECOND HALF SUB' AFTER SUSPENSION, GARY HEPPLES ALSO GAVE 100% AND HAD A COUPLE OF CHANCES HIMSELF AFTER COMING ON AS A 2nd HALF SUBSTITUTE.

RYAN BLOTT HAD A WONDERFUL CHANCE FROM ABOUT 10 YARDS OUT BUT HE BLASTED THE BALL HIGH OVER THE RAINWORTH CROSSBAR.

BORO COULD NOT REALLY BE FAULTED, THEY DO NEED TO WORK ON THEIR FINISHING, AND IT WAS A CRUEL BLOW WHEN RAINWORTH SCRAMBLED THE BALL OVER THE BORO LINE FOR THEIR LATE, LATE UNDESERVED WINNER.

THE REFEREE "STEVE SMITH" WAS ABYSMAL, A TERRIBLE TACKLE ON RICHARD MEDCALF BY RAINWORTHS LEE PATTERSON DID NOT EVEN GET PATTERSON A YELLOW CARD NEVER MIND THE RED THAT ANY COMPETENT OFFICIAL WOULD HAVE BRANDISHED.

BORO HAVE NOT HAD A HAPPY START TO THE NEW SEASON BUT THINGS WILL COME RIGHT FOR THE TEAM, AND THE NEXT GAME IS THE LEAGUE CUP TIE AGAINST LEEDS CARNEGIE ON TUESDAY 19th AUGUST.
