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.

CHEATING PARKGATE AND CLUELESS OFFICIALS.

Boro's progress in the FA Vase was halted by a combination of cheating opponents and a referee (Mr D Hunt) who should not be allowed anywhere near a football pitch again after this performance.
  I am used to seeing inept officials in this league, but yesterday's was I have been told by many fans the worst yet to officiate a Boro game.
  I was not at the game and I would not normally post about such things when I was not present to witness it all first hand.
  But this is an exception, Parkgate players were diving throughout the game , trying to win free kicks and see Boro players receive bookings and worse.
  This referee was oblivious to the Parkgate game plan, he was intimidated by the Parkgate players, he wrongly sent off two Boro players, therefore spoiling the whole game as a spectacle for both sets of fans, and laughingly booked Scott Phillips for taking off his shirt as he was leaving the field of play after the final whistle had been blown.
  Yesterday as I could not make the game  I decided to take in the Pickering v Stavely game instead, the referee there who is well known in this area is another case of someone simply not up to the job, he likes to be heard and has conversations with the players and he obviousely thinks he is a better ref than he actually is and considers the players his pals, how wrong can he be, he just should not be officiating at this level either , but the clown at Parkgate is apparently the very worst yet.
  I am hoping that SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC as a club will complain to the hierarchy of the NCEL about the actions yesterday of both the Parkgate club and the Refereee, it is time that something be done regarding the standard of refereeing in this league.
UP THE BORO...........................................
