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.

SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC 7 TADCASTER ALBION 0

ON A TERRIBLE NIGHT FOR PLAYING FOOTBALL, STRONG GUSTING WINDS AND NON STOP RAIN, SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC TURNED ON THE STYLE AGAIN AND HAMMERED 7 GOALS PAST PAST A HAPLESS TADCASTER ALBION SIDE.
ANOTHER HALF TIME TEAM TALK WORKED WONDERS FOR THE BORO, THEY LEFT THE FIELD WITH A 1-0 ADVANTAGE AFTER THE FIRST 45 MINUTES, BUT FOUND THE BACK OF THE ALBION NET A FURTHER SIX TIMES DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THIS GAME.
A BUMPER CROWD OF 442 BRAVED THE QUEENSGATE CONDITIONS AND THEY WERE WELL REWARDED FOR THEIR SUPPORT TONIGHT.
GOALSCORERS WERE (IN GOAL ORDER)

ONLY TWO OTHER DIVISION ONE GAMES WERE PLAYED TONIGHT, TEVERSAL WERE BEATEN AT HOME BY BOTTESFORD TOWN 2-0 AND THE OTHER GAME INVOLVED OUR MAIN RIVALS FOR THE LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP, BARTON, WHO TONIGHT HAD A NARROW 3-2 VICTORY OVER LEEDS CARNEGIE. THAT VICTORY KEPT BARTON ON EQUAL POINTS WITH BORO AT THE TOP OF THE LEAGUE BUT WE HAVE A FAR SUPERIOR GOAL DIFFERENCE (14) BUT IT HAS TO BE SAID ALSO THAT BARTON DO HAVE A GAME IN HAND OVER US. WE ARE BOTH ON 29 POINTS, BORO HAVE A GOAL DIFFERENCE OF +29, BARTON'S IS +15, BORO HAVE PLAYED 11 GAMES AND BARTON 10.
SATURDAY SEES STAVELY MW VISIT QUEENSGATE, THIS SHOULD ATTRACT THE BIGGEST CROWD TO DATE, CONSIDERING THE POSITION WE FIND OURSELVES IN. DECEMBER WILL PROVE TO BE AN INFLUENTIAL MONTH AS BORO AND BARTON PLAY EACH OTHER HOME AND AWAY ON SUCCESSIVE SATURDAY'S, DEC' 13th AT BARTON, DEC 20th AT QUEENSGATE.
UP THE BORO........
