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.

UNABLE TO MAKE 'VASE' TRIP SO TOOK IN PIKES v STAVELEY MW.


Unable to make the trip to Parkgate, I decided to go to the Pickering Town v Stavely Miners Welfare game at a sunny Pickering FC.
  The sun may have been shining, but it was the only thing to shine as this was a dour game of football played out by two mediocre teams with little passing ability.
  Boro old boy Colin Appleton was present in the ground, he must have been mighty unimpressed at the standard shown today also.
  Welfare took the lead with a penalty in the 24th minute and the score stayed 1-0 up to half time.
  The tea and sausage rolls which I purchased in the excellent clubhouse made up a little for the poor football dished up so far.
  Pikes came out for the 2nd half and Stuart Price equalised for his side about 4 minutes into the re-start, but the joy of the home fans was short lived as terrible defending by the Pikes lead to Welfare regaining their lead just 5 minutes later, Ryan Damms scoring his 2nd and his teams 2nd goal of the match.
  The end finally came with the score still 2-1 to Welfare
  Today's victory for Welfare sees them in a very commanding 3rd place in the table with 3 games in hand over leaders Retford United and a defecit of just 2 points.
  Thanks to Boro being involved in their FA Vase game today and following the outcomes of other results we have slipped to 6th place, but like Welfare we have played just 9 games and we are only 4 point's behind the leaders.
