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.

HERE IS THE SHEFFIELD STARS STORY OF THE GREAT HALLAM FIGHTBACK.

Hallam fightback






Hallam may just have pulled off a result that could well turn around their season and help them pull clear of the drop zone. 
Kenny Geelan's side found themselves 4-0 down at in-form Scarborough Athletic early in the second half. But in one of the comebacks of the season the Blues scored four times in the last 20 minutes including a stoppage time equaliser to earn a 4-4 draw.


Hallam trailed a Richard Metcalf first half hat-trick and when Gary Hepples extended the lead two minutes after the interval after appearing to kick the ball out of Martin Taylor's hands, the Blues looked to be heading for a hiding.


Phil Reynolds reduced the arrears with a speculative long range effort which seemed no more than a consolation effort.


But Geelan's men had other ideas and five minutes later recent signing Jordan Turner pulled another one back with a fine finish inside the box.


A minute later central defender Lee Cooksey tapped home from close range to make it 4-3 after the Scarborough keeper had missed a cross into the box.


The home side were visibly rattled as Hallam equalised with almost the last kick of the game when Jordan got in beyond the defence to steer a shot wide of the keeper. While it wasn't enough to lift the Sandygate Road club out of the bottom two, it did put them to within three points of safety with two games in hand and will no doubt put them in good heart ahead of tomorrow's derby at Armthorpe Welfare.
