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 v TADCASTER 2-2 1'st DRAWN LEGUE MATCH'.

Saturday's game against Tadcaster produced our first draw in this seasons league campaign.
It was an exciting 90 minutes of football which provided plenty of entertainment for the 486 spectators inside the ground.
It was Tadcaster who took the lead after only 10 minutes, the Boro defence failed to deal with a corner and Vasey headed the loose ball into the net to put Tadcaster into an early lead.
All credit to Boro though, as they equalised shortly afterwards, this time our goal followed a corner, the scorer for Boro was local boy Rob Pindar.
The game was end to end, but Tadcaster were looking dangerous approaching half time, and Dave Bramley made a couple of good saves, and when Tadcaster eventually regained their lead, Bramley was unlucky as he did make a fine save from Gray, but the Tadcaster player scored as the ball rebounded kindly for him, all he had to do was slot the ball home into an empty goal.
So half time arrived with Boro 2-1 down- but not out, the game could go either way in the second half.
Brian France brought on substitute 'Barker' for the second half in place of Rob Pindar, and it did not take him long to score Boro's second equalising goal, and that was to be the final score 2-2, another entertaining value for money performance by Brian France's men.
Next week we have a break from league action and travel to Kirkbymoorside in the 'North Riding Senior Cup', it is only a short journey so another good following will be expected.
UP THE BORO...................................................................................
