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.

A DISMAL DAY AT BOTTESFORD.

2.15 pm AND THE HUMBER BRIDGE BECKONS.THE OTHER SIDE IS IN SIGHT.FINALLY FOUND THE GROUND AT 3.20 pm.A LONELY LOOKING 'DODGY' DAVE IN THE BORO GOAL.
HALF TIME ARRIVED, THE BURGERS WERE THE BEST PART OF THE DAY SO FAR.


BRIAN HAD A CRAFTY PLAN. HE THOUGHT HE WOULD TRY MOVING THE GOALPOSTS BEFORE THE SECOND HALF.
GETTING READY FOR THE SECOND HALF THINGS COULD ONLY GET BETTER .......COULD'NT THEY ?

BORO PREPARE TO DEFEND A FREE KICK.

NICE SAVE DODGY.



CAPTIONS INVITED FOR THIS ONE.


YOU MAY THINK THAT I HAVE SHOWN A LOT OF PHOTO'S ON THIS LISTING, I HAVE, SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING POSITIVE AT ALL TO WRITE ABOUT THE TEAMS PERFORMANCE TODAY, THEY WERE BEATEN 3-1 BY A MEDIOCRE BOTTESFORD TOWN SIDE. SO I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PIC'S.


I GOT INTO THE GROUND LATE, BECAUSE IT REALLY WAS A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK JOB TO FIND IT, LEEDS MET' WAS OUT OF THE WAY, BUT AT LEAST THERE WERE SIGNS FROM THE MAIN ROAD.
.
SOME OF THE BORO FAITHFUL.

THERE WERE NO SIGNS POINTING TOWARD THE GROUND HERE, AND IT'S A WONDER THAT AWAY FANS DO EVENTUALLY MANAGE TO FIND IT, THE CLUBS DIRECTIONS ON THEIR WEBSITE WERE ALSO A WASTE OF TIME.




I WAS MAYBE EXPECTING TOO MUCH OF RYAN BLOTT ON HIS RETURN, BUT I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE HIM SUBSTITUTED, I WAS AMAZED TO SEE THOMPSON TAKEN OFF ALSO.
.
JUST DO AS I DO SON AND YOU WON'T GO FAR WRONG.


I WAS'NT TOO IMPRESSED WITH JAMIE WALTHAM'S PERFORMANCE EITHER,IT WAS A SCRAPPY GAME, BUT IN THE SECOND HALF WITH THE SCORE LEVEL AT 1-1, IT WAS BORO WHO LOOKED THE MORE LIKELY TEAM TO SCORE, BUT IT IS NO GOOD MAKING PASS AFTER PASS IF NO ONE IS CAPABLE OF PUTTING THE BALL IN THE NET, AS SEEMS TO BE THE CASE WITH BORO AT THE MOMENT.



A LUCKY BREAK GAVE TOWN THEIR SECOND GOAL, BUT THEIR THIRD WAS REALLY TOP DRAWER, THEY PROBABLY WON'T SCORE A BETTER ONE ALL SEASON.


I WAS GLAD TO GET BACK IN THE CAR AND HEAD FOR HOME, ON A POSITIVE NOTE, WE CAN ONLY GET BETTER FOR THE NEXT GAME.
.
A VERY WELCOME SIGHT ON THE JOURNEY HOME.
