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.

ONLY ONE GAME IN WHOLE OF NCEL BEATS THE SNOW TODAY.

Every game in both the Premier and 1st Division's of the Northern Counties East league, with the exception of Scarborough Athletic v Tadcaster Albion has been postponed due to the wintry conditions throughout the region. We in Filey and Scarborough seem to be just about the only places to have no snow, conditions are very cold with a freezing wind, not ideal for either playing or watching football, but it has remained dry and snow free and victory today or a draw even would see Boro move to the top of the table.
 The following announcement was taken from the NCEL website earlier today.

Season Extended to 4th May
The Leagues Committee of the Football Association has given approval for an extension of the playing season in the Baris NCEL up to and including Saturday 4th May.
This should be noted that the season cannot be extended beyond this date since the Football Association have to begin the National League System promotion and relegation procedures by the following midweek.

As a result of this decision, all games that were scheduled to be played today but were postponed will now be played on Saturday 4th May.
