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.

BLOTT SENT OFF AS BORO SHARE POINTS WITH ARNOLD TOWN.

Boro's last away fixture of the season ended all square at Arnold's Eagle Valley Stadium, once again though Boro had done enough on the night to have taken all the points on offer.
Joel Hartley was on top form again and he supplied the pass for Craig Palmer to open the scoring for Boro in the 3rd minute of the game, Boro controlled the game and had so many chances to add to their 1 goal lead, but Town gradually got back into the game and in the 37th minute they found an equaliser, Powley in the Boro goal failed to deal with a cross from Thornton and Arnold's Law was on hand to tap home a simple goal.
The 2nd half got under way and within minutes following a skirmish between Ryan Blott and Town's Hanningan both players were sent off, Blott was headbutted by the Town player, but both players were given red by the referee.
Boro again had plenty of chances throughout the half to win the game, Arnold also had some efforts come close, but the final whistle blew with the scoreline at 1-1. Town will have been the happiest with the final score.
The return game on Saturday at Queensgate will be the final game of the season.
