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.

BORO' GO 6 POINTS CLEAR AT THE TOP OF THE LEAGUE.

In spite of a below par performance last night, the 2-1 victory over Barton Town Old Boys pushed Boro' 6 points clear of our only realistic rivals for promotion Brighouse Town.
  Boro' took the lead through an own goal following a Tony Hackworth effort, his shot was deflected into the goal off Town defender Craig Suddaby.
  Half time score 1-0.
  Tony Hackworth doubled the lead for Boro', and in spite of some good play from Town, who did manage to find the back of the Boro' net to keep themselves in the game, it was Boro who held on for the 3 points, extending  their lead in the table to a massive 6 points, and with another home game on Saturday we must be confident of a much better display, another bumper crowd  and another 3 points.
 The following week we go to Brighouse Town, for what really will be very much something of a deciding game, the winners of this game will surely be crowned Champions.
  As long as we win all our remaining games, we will be champions, as we do have a superior goal difference to Town.
