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.

EXCELLENT DEFENSIVE SIGNING FOR 'BORO'

Dave Ricardo

Scarborough Athletic have signed 'midfield general' Dave Ricardo from landlords and league rivals Bridlington Town.
Dave is a solid and reliable experienced midfield/defender, he should bring some much needed stability to the Boro defence which has been lacking in my mind ever since Jamie Waltham's moment of madness which cost him so dearly.
Jamie was by far the best defender we have had, and I hope that he will one day be wearing the Boro shirt again, alongside Dave Ricardo would be good.
Dave has experience at Unibond level as well as with Hall Road Rangers and Winterton Rangers.
By far the best signing this season for the Boro.
As I am welcoming one player to the club, another is leaving, Joe Connor is returning to one of his former clubs 'Selby Town'.
