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.

HOME TIE IS REWARD FOR VASE VICTORY.

Following the victory over Sunderland Nissan in the 2nd round of the FA Vase just 2 days ago, Scarborough Athletic have been rewarded with a home tie in the 3rd round which will be played on Saturday December 6th.
Their opponents will be Lincolnshire based 'Blackstones FC' who play in the 'Eagles Bitter United Counties Premier Division' which is step 5 of the non league pyramid.
After the terrific performance against Sunderland Nissan, it will be Blackstones who will be looking forward to the tie the least.
Just having a quick glance at the other ties there are a few that stand out, the Spennymoor Town v Shildon and Penrith v Whitley Bay ties should be cracking games and staying up in the Northern sector the Marske United v Pickering will be a real test for the Pikes. In the Southern fixtures the only tie that stands out for me is Bideford Town's home fixture against Frome Town, we have had many holidays in North Devon around Bideford and the football club have a really good set-up, they are a well run club, have a tidy little ground, the supporters club help a lot and they run transport to all their games, they play in the 'Toolstation Western Premier League' and are presently in 8th position.


WEMBLEY STADIUM where the Vase final will be held.

A really good final at Wembley Stadium would be Scarborough Athletic v Bideford Town.
