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.

A RARE TREAT FOR FOOTBALL FANS IN EASTFIELD AS SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC TAKE ON 'EASTFIELD ST JAMES'

Scarborough Athletic will now play their first pre season game away to 'Eastfield St James' at their Eastway ground on Saturday July 3rd.
Eastfield will be sure to give Boro a good workout, especially on their own ground, with their supporters firmly behind them.
Last season we played Eastfield pre season also, at Queensgate on a wet and wild Tuesday evening and 'Boro' were comfortable 6-2 winners on that occasion.
The Boro team then was Aaran Reid,Evans,Miller,Hartas, Waltham, Botham, Griffin, Hepples, Blott, Medcalf, Gray, the subs' were Routledge, Hartley and Callum Reid.
One of the  highlights of the night for me was seeing one of the Eastfield lads go charging in on  Boro's Jamie Waltham, it was a wild and reckless challenge but Jamie picked himself up and had the biggest smile on his face, we have badly missed his presence in the Boro defence  since the Northallerton game early last season, it would be great to see him return to the club.
Boro scorers on the night were Hartas, Hepples, Routledge, Medcalf and 2 for Ryan Blott.
There should be a good crowd at Eastway for this game, and the few local residents who normally have to put up with  Wearside league football on Pindars school field can now look forward to a  higher standard of football from our NCEL Premier side.
Perhaps some of the locals who watch Wearside league football regularly at Pindar may decide to follow Scarborough Athletic after seeing the difference in class following this pre season game, after all they will only have to pay £2 return on the Boro supporters bus which picks up in Eastfield on the way to every home game at Queensgate and brings fans home again after the matches, fantastic value considering the round trip is around 30 miles. 
UP THE BORO..................
