Tomorrow will hopefully see Scarborough Athletic back in league action when we are due to play at Tadcaster Albion, but we have had another layer of snow fall this evening and it is snowing now at 9.30 pm on the eve of the game so I am guessing there will be a late pitch inspection sometime tomorrow.
There are 2 other fixtures planned for tomorrow also, one is a top of the table clash between our landlords Bridlington Town who are in 3rd place and their visitors are 2nd placed Parkgate, this should be an excellent game, Town are in 3rd place on 32 points from 14 games played and Parkgate just above Town have 4 points more but have played 2 games more, so a cracking game can be expected at Queensgate.The other game is a mid table affair between 2 very average sides in Pickering Town and Selby Town, this game is of little importance but will no doubt receive plenty of coverage in the local paper with comments and opinions from the Pikes manager.
Anyway back to football, Boro face a fairly difficult trip to Tadcaster, Taddy' are in 4th position and were playing well up to the big freeze which hit all the leagues sides hard.
Following their excellent 1-0 victory away to Farsley they were unlucky to be knocked out of the League cup 3-2 going down to a last minute goal from Maltby Main's Daniel Jones.
Albion had better luck in their next game as they progressed in the FA Vase, they were drawn away to Formby and thanks to an 85th minute goal from Graeme Whitehead they won the tie 3-2 and finally this was followed by an excellent 5-0 victory over Hallam in the league on December 14th.
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.
