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.

IT WAS A WET START ON SATURDAY MORNING.FINALLY GET TO LEAVE THE M5


ME AND THE BOSS AT ILFRACOMBE.



SAUNTON SANDS.


THE WALLABIES WERE FRIENDLY.


AND THE BIRDS WAITED PATIENTLY FOR SOME CRUMBS.


WHILE ON HOLIDAY IN SUNNY COMBE MARTIN BORO HAD PLAYED TWO MORE GAMES AND TOOK ANOTHER 4 PRECIOUS LEAGUE POINTS AND ARE SITTING PROUDLY AT THE TOP OF THE LEAGUE.


GOODBYE COMBE MARTIN.

THE FIRST GAME AT HOME TO HEMSWORTH SOUNDS TYPICAL OF OUR SEASON, TOTAL DOMINANCE BUT LETTING THE OPPOSITION OFF TOO LIGHTLY, WE TOOK A 2-0 LEAD BUT HAD TO BE CONTENT WITH JUST THE ONE POINT AS HEMSWORTH GRABBED AN EQUALISING GOAL 5 MINUTES DEEP INTO INJURY TIME AND THIS WAS AFTER THE REFEREE HAD SIGNALLED ONLY 3 MINUTES OF INJURY TIME TO ACTUALLY BE PLAYED, BUT WE ARE NO STRANGERS TO INEPT OFFICIALS IN THIS LEAGUE, SO AFTER TOTALLY DOMINATING PLAY WE HAD ON THIS OCCASION TO BE HAPPY WITH JUST THE 1 POINT, FOUR DAYS LATER WE HAD TO TRAVEL TO DERBYSHIRE TO FACE STAVELY AND THIS TIME THERE WERE NO MISTAKES AS GRAIG HOGG SCORED A COUPLE OF GOALS AND THE EVER RELIABLE SCOTT PHILLIPS GOT ANOTHER AND RYAN BLOTT ALSO GOT HIS NAME ON THE SCORESHEET, SO AN IMPRESSIVE 4-0 AWAY VICTORY FOR THE TEAM WHICH SEES THEM AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE ABOVE HEMSWORTH ON GOAL DIFFERENCE.

TOMMOROW NIGHT SEES THE TEAM TRAVEL AWAY TO GLASSHOUGHTON, A RELATIVELY SHORT JOURNEY, THEY ARE BASED JUST OFF THE A1 NEAR CASTLEFORD THIS WILL BE THE FIRST OF 6 CONSECUTIVE AWAY GAMES FOR THE BORO, A GOOD TURNOUT OF TRAVELLING SUPPORTERS SHOULD BE GUARANTEED AS BORO TRY TO KEEP THEIR 7 MATCH UNBEATEN RUN GOING AND STRETCH THEIR LEAD IN THE TABLE. ALSO ANOTHER VICTORY TOMMOROW NIGHT WILL ADD CONFIDENCE AS THE TEAM HEAD UP THE A1 ON SATURDAY TO FACE BIRTLEY TOWN IN THE F.A VASE. CHECK OUT MY REPORT FROM THE GLASSHOUGHTON GAME ON WEDNESDAY EVENING.
