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.

FA VASE TROPHY ON DISPLAY AT QUEENSGATE ON SUNDAY..

Our opponents on Sunday in the long awaited FA Vase tie, Sunderland Nissan are unbeaten in their last 4 matches, they had a 1-0 win at Ashington last week, before that they played at Stokesley in the league cup and won 6-3.
On October 31st they won 7-1 at Seaham Red Star and a couple of days previous to that result they beat Whitley Bay 3-1 in a rare home fixture.
So confidence will be high in the Nissan camp, but we are top of our league. playing some attractive football, Queensgate will be a vociferous and daunting place for the opposition and with a near enough full strength side I do'nt think Boro will be overawed by the occasion.
Nissan are 5th in the Northern League league and out of 13 games played, only 3 of those have been home fixtures and the other 10 have all been away games, they have 27 points from 13 games, top team Consett have 34 points from 17 games played.
Nissan are rumoured to be bringing over 100 fans on Sunday, so there should be a good atmosphere inside the ground and surely a new crowd record will be set for a Scarborough Athletic fixture at Queensgate.
Also at the game, the actual FA Vase will be on display, the FA organise a roadshow for the Vase, the FA Trophy and FA Cup on competition weekends and Scarborough Athletic have organised for the trophy to be on display at Queensgate on Sunday.
So it should be a great occasion and possibly by 4.50 on Sunday afternoon we could be a little closer still to a trip to Wembley Stadium in May.
