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.

FANTASTIC ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE AS BORO WIN 5-0 AWAY AT THACKLEY.

Boro were a completely different class to their West Yorkshire based opponents today, no disrespect to Thackley who are a decent side, but today they could not live with the brilliance of Boro.
 After today's performance I cannot imagine  Rudy leaving Gary Hepples out of his future starting line-up's, once again Gary was my man of the match, he rightly regained his place today at the expense of Dean Windass, who was on the subs bench.
  Every player played his part today and I for one cannot wait for the Parkgate game on Tuesday evening, we have learnt lessons from previous games against this shambolic team and on Tuesday I think the football will do the talking.
  Back to today's game, and what a fantastic performance it was, it took Curtis Bernard less than 60 seconds to put us into the lead, his rocket of a shot left Thackley 'keeper Matt Convey with no chance, and just 10 minutes later Boro doubled their lead as good work from Bill Law on the right wing lead to Joe Naylor heading in Boro's 2nd goal and the first of his brace in this game.
  Just 2 minutes later Ryan Blott grabbed Boro's 3rd goal, once again the goal originated from Bill Law on the right , it was all one - way traffic and already we knew it was just a matter of how many goals we would eventually win by.
  Just before half time Boro did in fact find the back of the Thackley net for the fourth time, Joe Naylor getting his second of the game.Joe headed home brilliantly from a Paddy Miller corner.
  Half time 0-4.
  Dave Kemp had picked up a knock in the first half and was replaced by Frank Belt for the second half, but this did not deter Boro in any way and the half continued much the same as the first 45 minutes, it was all Boro, Thackley had a couple of chances, but nothing to concern us too much, Kev Martin although not having a lot to do in the Boro goal was in control when he was called into action, and his distribution was as usual  excellent.
  Somehow Thackley held out until the 82nd minute before Boro added their 5th and final goal, and it was a super goal when it came from Ryan Blott.
  Ryan beat a Thackley defender and blasted a shot high into the top corner of the Thackley goal.
  It could so easily have been double figures today for Boro, Roll on Tuesday and the trip to Parkgate.


2 goal Joe Naylor.

Opening scorer Curtis Bernard.


2 goal Ryan Blott.
