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.

BORO TRAVEL TO SOUTH YORKSHIRE LOOKING FOR FA VASE GLORY.

SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC TRAVEL TO SOUTH YORKSHIRE TOMORROW TO FACE RAWMARSH BASED 'PARKGATE' IN THE 1st ROUND OF THIS SEASONS FA VASE.
INCLUDED IN THE BORO SQUAD FOR THE 2nd TIME WILL BE DEAN WINDASS, I FEEL SURE DEAN WILL BE GIVEN A RUN OUT AT SOME STAGE OF THE GAME, THOUGH I EXPECT BLOTT AND BERNARD TO LINE UP IN ATTACK FROM THE KICK OFF.
  PARKGATE ARE 7th IN THE LEAGUE AT THE MOMENT WITH 19 POINTS FROM THEIR 10 STARTS, THEY WERE COMFORTABLY BEATEN IN THEIR LAST HOME LEAGUE MATCH BY OUR LANDLORDS BRIDLINGTON TOWN, CRAIG PALMER AND CRAIG HOGG HAD GIVEN TOWN A 2-0 HALF TIME LEAD AND HOGG ADDED A 2nd IN THE 2nd HALF, PARKGATE GRABBED A LATE CONSOLATION GOAL.
 BRIDLINGTON TOWN ARE ALSO MAKING A SIMILAR JOURNEY TO US IN THEIR VASE GAME, THEY GO TO DINNINGTON.
PARKGATE ARE OBVIOUSLY LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR VISIT AND THE CHANCE TO SEE DEAN WINDASS IN ACTION, THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS COPIED FROM THEIR OWN SITE.

There'll be a cracking atmosphere at Roundwood tomorrow as Scarborough bring their big following and new signing Dean Windass to town.


Windass has signed for the Seadogs and has agreed to play when TV commitments allow.


Doug Shelley has also been busy in the transfer market and has signed a few new players including goalkeeper Jamie Bailey. Shelley's men have proved time and time again that they can play on the big stage so tomorrow's game should be a beauty!


Kick off is at 3pm.
