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.

JIMMY GLASS TEAM-MATE POSSIBLY IN MALTBY MAIN TEAM TO FACE 'BORO.

Ex Carlisle United and Scarborough FC player Richard Tracey could be facing Scarborough Athletic on Saturday 12th December when his present team Maltby Main will be the visitors to Queensgate for an NCEL Premuer division game. 
Richard was in the Carlisle United team which beat Plymouth Argyle at the end of the 1998/99 season thanks to United's goalkeeper Jimmy Glass coming out of his goal to score the Cumbrians winning goal in the 4th minute of injury time. The goal which kept the Cumbrians in the football league and relegated Scarborough to the Conference.
Richard played in 65 games for the Cumbrians, scoring 15 goals.
He joined Macclesfield Town in 2001, playing 37 games for them before actually signing for Scarborough FC.
However, the move to Scarborough resulted in Richard receiving a serious injury in his only appearance for the club which ended his professional career, later when recovered from the injury he played semi-pro for Bradford Park Avenue, Ossett Town, Frickley Athletic and Belper Town before signing for his present club 'Maltby Main' in December 2008.
