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.

IS IT ME OR DOES ANYONE ELSE AGREE ?

On reading Mitch Cooks weekly article in the so called local paper, I am certain there were some double meanings in what he was saying.
When writing about Tony Mowbray's return to Middlesbrough this paragraph caught my eye, "I believe that people who have connections to the community play a bigger part in taking clubs on and taking them forward, because it's in their blood, this isn't only on a football side, but also in uniting fans and bringing them closer together".
  I also found his comments about Craig Short leaving Notts County interesting, especially his remarks about social websites and forums, he states, "Craig was deemed good enough 5 months ago to be awarded a 3 year contract, but after a short time in charge, it now seems that this is no longer the case. This probably has a lot to do with the fans forums and the outside influences that tend to have their say  on these things".
 I think he probably had thoughts about the Scarborough Town shambles on his mind while writing his article. I myself do not post on the surfing seadog but there are always plenty of strong opinions on there, lots of idiots also.
Scarborough Athletic are getting back to winning ways and will continue to do so if they stick with their present managerial set up, there is no need to panic, fans need to get behind the team and off the players and managers backs.
UP THE BORO !!!!!!!!!!!
