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.

BORO TRAVEL TO WHITBY TOWN IN NORTH RIDING SENIOR CUP.

SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC HAVE BEEN DRAWN AWAY TO WHITBY TOWN IN THE 3RD ROUND OF THE NRSC.
THE DATE HAS TO BE ARRANGED FOR THE TRIP TO THE TURNBULL GROUND WHERE  BORO PLAYED TOWN IN A PRE SEASON FRIENDLY AND WERE HELD TO A 2-2 DRAW.
WITH HARRY DUNN BACK IN CHARGE AT WHITBY AND WITH SOME EX SCARBOROUGH FC PLAYERS ON THEIR BOOKS THIS SHOULD BE A FACSINATING GAME AND SHOULD ATTRACT A DECENT SIZED CROWD.
THE LIKES OF TONY HACKWORTH, DENNY INGRAM AND JIMMY BEADLE COULD FIGURE IN THE GAME.
Some pictures from the pre season friendly at The Turnbull

A good turn out of Boro fans.

Half time and the rain came down.
