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.

NEW MANAGEMENT DUO NAMED FOR SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC RESERVES.

Congratulations go to Steve Brennan and Adam Stubbs who have been named as the new Manager and Assistant Manager of Humber Premier league side Scarborough Athletic Reserves.
The Reserves will kick off their new season at their new ground in neighbouring Filey, the season promises much and it will be good for fans to be able to see the Reserves play locally and not have the inconvenience of the longer journey to Hutton Cranswick anymore.
Steve is a former local league player and no doubt has many connections in the local football community, he has always supported Athletic and also sponsored the club when he had a sports business in the town.
Adam is also an ex local league player and did in fact have a run out for the 1st team in their first ever game when the club were formed, he was a trialist and played the 2nd half of the friendly fixture against Edgehill.
The two will work closely together with local football and will hopefully bring the best of the local young talent available to the Reserve team, where hopefully some of the lads will eventually fight their way into the 1st team set up, something which has not really materialised so far between the two teams.Let's hope this new era for the Reserves will see the natural progression from Reserve team football to 1st team become a reality for at least some of the clubs  players.
I am especially happy with the new venue as I can walk to the ground in 5 minutes from my Filey home.
UP THE BORO...............
