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 TOUGH TEST AT "HALL ROAD RANGERS"

Well, this was always going to be the big test for Boro, away to most peoples choice of eventual champions 'Hall Road Rangers'. But it was not to be the opposing team that beat the Boro, but the man in black, and I do not mean Johnny Cash, this man in black was Alan Murphy the Tadcaster based referee in charge of this match. Some of this mans decisions were ludicrous and both the teams and supporters alike found them hard to understand, we had a perfectly valid goal disallowed because Mr Murphy decided the ball had not crossed the goal line, we had a definate penalty refused, and his countless idiotic decisions were just too numerous for me to enter in this posting. Boro were for me, the better team, and would have won the game if it were not for the referee, and this is not sour grapes.
I read in the paper earlier that manager Brian France who does not normally speak to the officials after a game decided that on this day he had to make an exception and tell the referee that he was "awful". Brian also said "My lads did well. This was a yardstick for us and we went out there and outplayed the side who are favourites to go up, which can't be bad. I agree 100%. Considering our lack of a true finisher in front of goal at the moment, I think that we should be pleased with the season so far.
