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.

TOP OF THE TABLE REMAINS UNCHANGED TODAY.

Today being FA Vase 2nd round day meant that the top of the NCEL Premier division has remained unchanged.
The top 4 teams, Scarborough Athletic, Armthorpe, Bridlington and Rainworth respectively have been joined in 5th place by Liversedge who today put 9 goals past Brodsworth Welfare in reply to their opponents 2.
In spite of Boro's defeat today and the draw with Armthorpe I still expect them to gain promotion at the seasons end, all we really need is to see the return of Jamie Waltham after his long suspension, I do not know if Jamie will return to the club after his ban is over, but I do hope that he does.
In my opinion he has been badly missed in our defence, he is a quality player and surely the club will welcome him back, if in fact Jamie himself would want to return. I have no idea, I just hope that we will see him in a 'Boro' shirt again whenever possible..
One other Vase game today included a narrow 2-1 victory for Rainworth away to Westfields.                              Dinnington Town FC

Scarborough Athletic's Presidents Cup 2nd round opponents on Tuesday evening, 'Dinnington Town' received a 6-0 drubbing at Parkgate in a Premier division match today, we desperatley need a good performance and result on Tuesday against 'Dinno' just to get a bit of confidence flowing once again. 
The top of the league tonight.
SCAR ATH. 37PTS.
ARMTHORPE. 35PTS.
BRID TOWN. 34PTS.
RAINWORTH. 34PTS.
LIVERSEDGE. 26PTS.
