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.

DREAMS OF RETURN TO ATHLETIC GROUND FINALLY CRUSHED.

The following article regarding 'Boro's return to the Athletic Ground in Scarborough appeared in the local paper.
SCARBOROUGH Athletic's new chairman Richard Adamson has drawn a line under any possible move to the Athletic Ground
There has been talk of a return to the home of the former Scarborough Football Club, but this move has been quashed by the newly appointed Adamson and his board.
But the Boro chairman is still confident of a move back to the town in the not too distant future.
He said: "Our over-riding aim is to get back to Scarborough and we will be working with the council over the next 12 months to hopefully get a plan in place.
"Even if it is only a road-map for the club's return from Bridlington, we have to get the wheels moving.
"There has been a lot of talk about a possible move to the Athletic Ground, but that idea really is done and dusted now.
"The cost of playing there and the cost of bringing the ground to a standard where we could play there is totally unsustainable.
"Our best option is to work with the council on a possible move to a new ground, that does look to be the only way forward."
Adamson would also be calling on any fans to throw their support behind the move to Scarborough.
He added: "We hope to involve all trust members in everything we do as regards our move to the town.
"If anyone can help to do some of the work and throw in their expertise and talent then it would be greatly appreciated."
 
It was never likely to happen but I and many other supporters have always hoped that against all odds that it just may have come about, sadly we are now 100% in the hands of the local council, does'nt that just fill you with hope !
