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 AND FIRE CAUSES DRAMA AT RAINWORTH.

Not only a floodlight failure but also a pylon catching fire put an abrupt end to last night's game between Rainworth and Scarborough Athletic.
It was the 42nd minute of the game when the lights went out, Rainworth were leading 2-1 at the time.
A Barry Alberry goal after just 90 seconds had put the home side into the lead, however Boro's Joel Hartley was having another great game and he scored an equalising goal for Boro, but Rainworth regained their lead after 30 minutes, the score remained at 2-1 up to the floodlight problems.
This game just seems to be jinxed, I think it had been called off 3 or 4 times due to the weather conditions and it has now been rearranged to be played on Tuesday April 20th, fans who travelled last night have been told to contact the club to request a free pass for the rearranged game.
Boro are now 6th in the league table following Winterton Rangers excellent 5-0 away victory to Hallam, Thackley in 4th place also had a good win defeating Pickering Town 4-0, Pickering are now 2 points behind Boro and Boro also have 2 games in hand over the Pikes.
Bridlington Town lead the table with 82 points and thanks to their games in hand I cannot see anyone else stopping them from ending the season as champions.
