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.

FLOODLIGHT FAILURE IN QUARTER FINAL TIE.

Tonight I was unable to get to the NRSC Quarter final tie at Northallerton and it seems to have been an exciting night in more ways than one. Keeping a check  on the match through the 'Surfing seadog forum' itappears that with about 1 minute of the game remaining and Boro losing 3-1 the floodlights have failed.
Apart from that our manager 'Brian France' has been booked, and the referee is quoted as being the worst yet by one fan, and considering the overall quality of the officials in the NCEL and Northern Leagues he must have been really bad, as they are the worst I have ever seen, we have better Sunday league ref's in Scarborough than some of the clowns I have seen take charge of Scarborough Athletic matches over the past couple of seasons.
Another fan has posted that the ref knew all the Town players and actually congratulated them on their 3rd goal.
At the time I started this post the referee had decided that if the lights were not back on in 10 minutes time then the game would be called off, so I am guessing that a replay will have to be arranged, I am now going to find out the outcome, check my next post very soon.
UP THE BORO.................
