Following the much anticipated NCEL Premier league game with Pickering Town on Saturday which should pull in a crowd in excess of 500 supporters Scarborough Athletic will face a further six matches before the end of the month.
On the following Tuesday we travel to Thackley for a Presidents Cup tie and this will be followed by the visit of Armthorpe to Queensgate in an FA Vase fixture, this should see Boro one step closer to Wembley Stadium, it will be good to see Jamie Green exercising his back muscles once again by picking the ball out of the Armthorpe net a few times and maybe just for once we will have a referee who will not tolerate this lunatics behaviour, I just do not know how he gets away with what he does time and again.
I understand Armthorpe have secured the signing of a certain Mr Leo Fortune - West, no worries for us, the way we are playing they will fear us a lot more than we them.
Anyway next up will be the league derby against our landlords Bridlington Town in what promises to be another exciting encounter.
Next on the Tuesday evening (23/11) we go to Grimsby Borough in the league cup, this will be the first game for Grimsby at their newly built stadium, I am looking forward to that night.
Finally on Saturday 27th we travel to Maltby Main in the league and the following Tuesday we are on the road again, this time to Nostell MW for the final league match of the month.
So a very busy November which could see us climb the league table and progress in two cup competitions also.
UP THE BORO.............
SCARBOROUGH FOOTBALL CLUB WERE FORCED INTO LIQUIDATION AT THE END OF THE 2006-07 SEASON. A NEW TRUST RUN CLUB HAS NOW BEEN FORMED "SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC" AND THIS BLOG WILL FOLLOW THEIR FORTUNES, BOTH ON AND OFF THE FOOTBALL FIELD. UP THE BORO !!!
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.
