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.

WINNING STREAK EXTENDS TO 9 GAMES.

Scarborough Athletic achieved their 9th consecutive victory at a very windy Brodsworth Welfare yesterday.
Paul Routledge was included in the starting line-up, replacing Richard Medcalf who was unavailable for this game, otherwise it was the same team which took apart Winterton Rangers last Tuesday evening.
Boro had to attack the strong wind during the first half and in spite of numerous chances the first half ended goaless, the conditions were making football very difficult.
However Boro took the lead 4 minutes into the second period as Graham Botham was put through by Billy Logan and the Boro man made no mistake in beating the advancing Spaven in the Welfare goal.
Boro totally dominated the rest of the game but in spite of chance after chance coming their way, the final whistle blew with the score at Welfare 0 Boro 1.
'Boro' goalscorer, Graham Botham.
In these conditions any victory is welcome and with the 3 points achieved the team are now 5 points clear at the top of the league table and of course the winning run now stands at a really impressive 9 games.
Bridlington Town in 2nd place were in FA Vase action yesterday, they beat South Shields 2-0 thanks to goals from Danny Buttle and Craig Palmer in front of a Queensgate attendance of 179.
The Boro team at Brodsworth:
Bramley, Moore, Miller, Craven, Kemp, Connor, Hartley, Logan, Hogg, Routledge, Botham.
Subs:
Ellis, Griffin, Frizzell.
