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.

PLENTY OF SILVERWARE TO AIM FOR NEXT SEASON.

Scarborough Athletic will kick off the new season in the Premier division of the 'NCEL' and they are sure to be among the favourites to gain yet another promotion.
They will also have 5 other trophies to play for.
Once again the club will be involved in the 'FA Vase', they were so unlucky to lose out in the competition last season going down by the only goal at Bideford in North Devon after some excellent performances in the earlier rounds. This will also be their first season in the FA Cup, everybodys favourite competition and it would be nice for the team to gain a few scalps from so-called 'bigger clubs' in the early rounds, also they will compete for the 'NCEL League Cup' and the 'NCEL Presidents Cup', the competition in which they reached the final and lost out right at the very end of a 2 leg final against Nostell MW.
The 'North Riding Senior Cup' will be the other competition which they will have a realistic chance of winning.
So, lot's of exciting times ahead for the club and their supporters.
