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.

SOME COUNCILS ACTUALLY HELP THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES.

25th June, 2010

Throstle Nest Future Secured

Leeds City Council have bought the Throstle Nest ground from the administrator to help secure Farsley AFC's future.
 Local community and sports facilities will also be protected under the deal, which was negotiated with administrators Mazars.

The previous club, Farsley Celtic, went into administration in June 2009.

The Council has also completed a deal to sell on the main part of the football ground to FC2010, the new name for the football club.

But, they retained the ownership of the sports hall and land proposed for new football pitches as assets for the local community.

Cllr Adam Ogilvie, executive member for leisure, said:
"We are delighted that we have been able to safeguard Farsley AFC's facilities - especially the use of the sports hall by the local community and football coaching for young people in West Leeds.

"Completing this deal also allows Chartford Homes to move on with plans for their proposed housing development, which includes making funds available for improvements to the sports hall and the creation of two new junior soccer pitches, improving the leisure facilities for the local population.

"We look forward to following the re-formed club in the league next season and wish them the very best of success in doing the city proud."
