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.

GREAT RESPONSE FROM "BORO" BOSS FOLLOWING DISGRACEFUL PERFORMANCE FROM REFEREE AT PARKGATE.


Following the diabolical refereeing from Mr D Hunt, which cost us dearly at Parkgate last Saturday, Boro boss Rudy Funk gave his opinions on the day in the local paper, here is the article which I think just sums up the true feelings held by everyone connected to the club, I honestly think that we are been targeted as a club, unfairly so, and I speak as an ex referee when I say that the officials in this league are mainly very poor, and generally just not up to the standards required.
SCARBOROUGH Athletic boss Rudy Funk threw his weight behind the club after last weekend’s problem at Parkgate.
Boro picked up seven cards from referee David Hunt in the FA Vase defeat, including reds for both Ryan Blott and Gary Hepples.
Hunt said after the game that he would be reporting the players, the management and fans to the authorities, all for violent conduct, much to the dissapointment of boss Funk.
The Boro chief said: " It broke my heart when I spoke to him after the game because he said that he would be reporting the players, management and fans for violent conduct.
" Theis despite the fact that he didn’t say anything to me during the game that was played in a nice manner.
" This is the same referee that at Lincoln Moorlands gave us three yellow cards for nothing.
" We have had compiment after compliment for our conduct from officials this season. In fact we have just had one yellow card in 270 minutes of football prior to Saturday
" Up until the 23rd minute everything was fine, but then he lost the plot. Both Parkgate’s manager and their skipper came up to me afterwards and said that one bad decision (the sending off of Blott) ruined the game.
" It is true that referees do have a hard job, but Mr Hunt didn’t help himself when he started smirking at the fans.
" These fans are great, their banter is good and they are never nasty.
" I am a manager that travels to more matches than most, and I mean right throughout the football pyramid.
" I have seen some nasty fans and nasty secenes , if people want to come and see this they want to travel around with me. It certainly isn’t the case at Scarborough Athletic.
Funk aded: " The best quote I heard after the game was from Dean Windass, who said that he has never seen such togetherness at a club.
" This whole thing should galvanise us even more as a club. Eveyone needs to get together.
" We have a feelgood factor at this club, we can’t let anyone destroy it."
Well said Rudy...............
