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.

THE BIG NIGHT IS HERE

THE BIG NIGHT IS HERE image
Scarborough Athletic in the Koolsport Northern Counties East League Cup 2nd Round. What a great start for the Bradley Community Stadium, no offence to any other club but a club with Scarborough's history and fan base make them worthy opponenets for our first fixture.

How do you preview a night as big as this, it's difficult because all i want to put is bring it on, but here goes.
Grimsby Institute sponsored Grimsby Borough hope to be at full strength when they come onto the pitch to face Premier opposition in Scarborough Athletic.
Scarborough who are currently 13th in the Premier Division come into the game after a thrilling 3-3 draw with hosts and local rivals Bridlington Town on Saturday (a game played in front of over 700 spectators). Leading scorer Ryan Blott will be hoping to add to his seasons tally of 15 but here's hoping the Borough defence can stop him like they did the Lincoln defence last week.
Scarborough's new manager Paul Olsson will have looked at Borough's record in this competition and realised that they will be no pushovers. Last yeay Borough reached the Semi-Finals before being beaten by Dinnington Town having defeated Selby Town 5-0 on the way to the Semi's.
Borough managerial team of Steve Newby and Nigel Fanthorpe realise the importance of this fixture, not only in terms of progressing in the cup but also as an advert for all the new faces that will be at Bradley. Both men will be looking for Borough to recreate the sparkling form from last Wednesday as they try to impress our new fans.
