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.

A BRIEF MID-WEEK NORTHERN COUNTIES ROUND-UP

Bottesford Town last night received another 7-1 home defeat, it was on October 8th that Scarborough Athletic travelled to Birch Park and won by that 7-1 scoreline, last night it was Boston playing in the Lincolnshire Senior Trophy who came away the 7-1 victors.

Barton Town were also knocked out of the same competition 2-1 away to Lincoln Moorlands Railway.

24 hours earlier the Wilkinson Sword Trophy 2nd round ties produced wins for Pontefract Collieries, Teversal, Rainworth MW, Stavely and Yorkshire Amateurs, the Ammers knocked out Scarborough Athletic but we return to the Ammers in a couple of weeks for a league game to seek revenge for Tuesday's defeat.

In the NCEL Premier division Bridlington Town were having a good night as they put 8 goals past Long Eaton who themselves managed only 1 goal, Chibuzor Chilaka's 4 goals in 36 minutes got Brid' off to a great start.

There was an excellent crowd of 112 inside Queensgate.

On the Monday night AFC Emley had a 3-2 victory at Leeds Carnegie and moved into 3rd place in Division 1, Scarborough Athletic still head the table 1 point above Barton Town Old Boys. The top 3 of Boro, Barton and Emley are creating a small gap already from the rest of the league.
