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.

RUDY'S THOUGHTS ON THE GAME AT RETFORD..



Nice article from the local paper giving boss Rudy Funk's opinions on the Retford v Boro match.

SCARBOROUGH Athletic boss Rudy Funk was delighted with his side’s last-gasp point on the road at NCEL Premier title challengers Retford United.
He said: " I’m delighted, but it is nothing more than we deserved ."
" It was a tough encounter, they are a young, speedy side and that is why we made the selection we did.
" The selection was experience against pace and I think that paid off.
" The goal they scored was off-side, but credit to our lads, they kept going and we battered them.
" If you play well and put the pressure on then it will pay off, and what a great goal it was.
" I thought it was comfortable from the start. We hit the post with a free-kick in the first half and had great chances after that.
" I am never usually happy with a point, but I would have taken one point before kick-off at Retford.
" The last minute goal was great for the supporters . The buzz that happened after the goal went in wasw amazing."
Funk was less than happy with the playing surface, which in parts ressembled a ploughed field.
He added: " I was hugely disappointed with the pitch, for me it was a digrace.
" We like to pass the ball and move it around, but we had to go route one.
" It certainly wasn’t the best surface, had it been better then I think it would have panned out differently."
