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 MONTH OF MIXED FORTUNES FOR TEVERSAL.

Our opponents on Saturday 'Teversal' have had mixed fortunes throughout October.
They started the month off by crashing out of the FA Vase by 3 goals to nil away to Market Drayton.
That defeat was followed by a 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Bottesford Town in a league match, but 'Tevvie' bounced back and gained a creditable victory away to Yorkshire Amateurs.
Their next game was in the Wilkinson Sword Trophy and they achieved an excellent away victory at Hemsworth MW, Mark Rathbone and Jack Townroe the 'Tevvie' scorers in the final 10 minutes of the game.

Their next game was at home to Pontefract Collieries and surprisingly they were beaten 3-1 in front of just 51 fans, so a really mixed bag of results, 'Tevvie' were the first team that the newly formed Scarborough Athletic actually played in the NCEL Division 1 back in August 2007, we were beaten 2-1 that day and in the home return 7 months later the game was a 2-2 draw played in front of 493 fans at Queensgate, there was also an excellent crowd in that first fixture, 427 fans saw Boro's first ever game on that special day away to Teversal.
Boro need a victory on Saturday to try and open up a bit of a gap at the top of the table and then, the following week 'Tevvie' can do us a big favour by defeating Emley who are in 2nd place behind us in the league at this moment in time.
Saturday should be an entertaining game for the fans to watch, and there should be over 500 present in the ground.
