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.

FIRST EVER GAME IN FA CUP WILL BE AT HOME.



HISTORY WAS MADE FOR SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC FOOTBALL CLUB AS THEY WERE INCLUDED IN THE DRAW FOR THE FA CUP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THEIR SHORT HISTORY.

THEIR FIRST EVER GAME IN THE FA CUP WILL BE IN THE EXTRA PRELIMINARY ROUND OF THE COMPETITION AND THEIR OPPONENTS WILL BE GUISBOROUGH TOWN OF THE NORTHERN LEAGUE DIVISION 2.

THE DATE FOR GAMES AT THIS STAGE OF THE COMPETITION IS SATURDAY AUGUST 15th, BUT AS BRIDLINGTON TOWN ARE ALSO DRAWN AT HOME IN THE COMPETITION THEY WILL OF COURSE TAKE PRIORITY OVER 'BORO', SO THE ACTUAL DATE FOR OUR GAME IS TO BE ANNOUNCED LATER.

THE DRAWS FOR THE FOLLOWING TWO ROUNDS HAVE ALSO BEEN MADE AND IF 'BORO' DO PROGRESS PAST GUISBOROUGH THEN THEY WILL FACE WAKEFIELD OF THE 'UNIBOND LEAGUE NORTH ONE' AWAY ON SATURDAY AUGUST 29th IN THE PRELIMINARY ROUND.

VICTORY OVER WAKEFIELD WOULD THEN TAKE THE TEAM FURTHER AFIELD AS THEY WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL TO KENDAL TOWN OF THE 'UNIBOND PREMIER LEAGUE' IN WHAT WOULD BE THE 1st QUALIFYING ROUND OF THE COMPETITION.
