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.

YESTERDAY'S NCEL PREMIER DIV' RESULTS AND ROUND-UP.

Here are yestrday's NCEL Premier division results.

 Scarborough Athletic were surprisingly held 2-2 at home by Maltby Main yesterday, Boro had taken a 2-0 lead  but Maltby shared the points thanks to 2 late Greg Mason goals in the 80th and 82nd minutes of the game.
Elsewhere, Rainworth MW maintained their 3 point lead at the top of the table thanks to a great 6-0 victory away to Lincoln Moorlands Railway, a game which saw Ant Lynam in  goalscoring mood once again as he grabbed 2 first half goals for Welfare.
Bridlington Town had an away victory also, they took all 3 point's in their 2-0 victory at Parkgate, Alex Rhodes getting both Town goals in the first half of the game.
Armthorpe Welfare must really frustrate their fans (all 37 of them who bothered to turn up yesterday) as they once again dropped points, they were held 1-1 at home by Arnold Town. The attendance at Queensgate for Scarborough Athletic's match was 471, a terrific turnout considering we are so close to Christmas.
The next game for Scarborough Athletic is the short 20 mile trip across the moors on Wednesday evening for a NRS Cup 3rd round tie at Whitby Town. A large following of Boro fans should be on the road that night as up to 6 Town players with links to the old Scarborough FC could be in the Whitby Town squad, it would also be nice to see Ryan Blott have a good game for us on the night and let Whitby see just what they have missed out on by letting him return to 'Boro', so it should be a great night with a good atmosphere inside the ground.
3 days later 'Boro' will get the chance to improve on the 2-2 home draw with Maltby yesterday as they travel to Maltby for the return fixture..
