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.

TRICKY TRIP TO "MOORSIDERS" AHEAD.

2 DAYS TO GO TO THE BORO'S TRIP TO KIRKBYMOORSIDE WHERE THEY WILL COMPETE IN THE "NORTH RIDING SENIOR CUP".
I HAVE JUST BEEN GLANCING THROUGH THE "MOORSIDERS" VERY IMPRESSIVE WEBSITE, http://www.kirkbymoorsidefc.co.uk/ AND WHAT IS VERY CLEAR IS THE FACT THAT THEY ARE A VERY GOOD, ATTACKING AND HARDWORKING SIDE, THEY ARE SECOND IN THEIR LEAGUE (TEESIDE DIVISION ONE), THEY HAVE MADE A GREAT START TO THEIR SEASON WINNING 9 OF THEIR FIRST 10 MATCHES AND SCORING 44 GOALS AGAINST ONLY 13 IN THE PROCESS.
HERE ARE THEIR LEAGUE RESULTS TO DATE;
RICHMOND A 6-1 W
DARLINGTON RUGBY H 5-0 W
STOKESLY H 3-2 W
WHINNEY BANKS H 6-1 W
GUISBOROUGH QUOIT A 6-1 W
NUNTHORPE A 5-3 W
GUISBOROUGH RES H 0-1 L
GRANGETOWN A 3-2 W
FISHBURN PARK H 6-2 W.
THAT IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE FORM AT ANY LEVEL, AND I FEEL THEY WILL RELISH THE CHALLENGE OF PLAYING "THE BORO"
I WILL NOT BE PRESENT AT THE GAME, AS MY DAUGHTER IS MOVING FROM SCARBOROUGH TO ROTHWELL AND I AM DOING THE DRIVING, BUT I THINK IT WILL BE A TERRIFIC CUP-TIE, WITH AN EXCELLENT ATMOSPHERE BETWEEN 2 TEAMS OF SIMILAR STYLES, WHO WANT TO PLAY ATTRACTIVE, ATTACKING FOOTBALL, IF JOHNNY BROWN PLAYS FOR THE MOORSIDERS, THEN HE WILL HAVE TO BE CLOSELY WATCHED AS HE HAS SCORED 11 GOALS SO FAR IN THE LEAGUE,TRUE, HE IS UP AGAINST AN EXCELLENT BORO DEFENCE, BUT HE IS A STRIKER IN FORM, AND WILL BE FEELING CONFIDENT , PAUL ROUND AND JAY BROWN HAVE EACH SCORED 6 AND LEE ALEXANDER HAS BAGGED 5.
I EXPECT "BORO" TO WIN BY 2 OR 3 GOALS..................................
