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.

4 WEEKS SINCE A GAME.

ON SATURDAY WHEN WE PLAY PONTEFRACT COLLIERIES IN OUR NEXT LEAGUE GAME, FOUR WEEKS WILL HAVE PASSED SINCE OUR LAST GAME WHICH WAS THE 3-0 AWAY VICTORY AT STAVELY.
PONTEFRACT ARE NOT HAVING THE BEST OF SEASONS, THEY ARE NEXT TO BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE AND HAVE LET IN MORE GOALS THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE LEAGUE.

THEY ARE PRESENTLY IN 16th POSITION IN THE LEAGUE ON ONLY 6 POINTS.

THEIR PRESENT WINLESS STREAK STRETCHES BACK TO SEPTEMBER 22nd WHEN THEY BEAT TADCASTER 3-2, THEY HAVE GONE 135 DAYS SINCE THEN AND HAVE NOT WON A GAME IN A FURTHER 14 OUTINGS.

WE PLAYED THEM NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON IN THE LEAGUE CUP AND AFTER DOMINATING PLAY FOR 89 MINUTES BORO HELD A 1-0 LEAD, THEN A DEFENSIVE MIX-UP BY BORO LEFT PONTEFRACT STRIKER BEN CADMAN WITH THE SIMPLEST OF CHANCES TO SLOT THE BALL HOME INTO AN EMPTY BORO NET AND TAKE THE GAME INTO EXTRA TIME.THEN IN SPITE OF TOTAL BORO DOMINATION DURING THE EXTRA PERIOD THE GAME FINALLY WENT TO PENALTIES AND BORO WERE BEATEN (ROBBED) 3-1 ON THE NIGHT. IN THE NEXT ROUND PONTEFRACT WERE DRAWN AWAY TO SELBY TOWN AND WERE THEMSELVES BEATEN 3-1.
PONTEFRACT HAVE FOUND THE LEAGUE VERY DIFFICULT THIS SEASON AND ARE ON A TERRIBLE RUN JUST NOW HAVING LOST THEIR LAST FOUR GAMES ON THE BOUNCE , THREE OF THESE GAMES WERE IN THE LEAGUE WHERE THEY LET IN 7 GOALS AND DID NOT SCORE ONE AT ALL IN THESE GAMES, THEIR ONLY GOAL IN THE FOUR MATCHES CAME AT ECCLESHILL DURING A CUP MATCH WHICH SAW THEM LOSE 3-1 IN FRONT OF A CROWD OF JUST 24. SO THE SIGNS ARE LOOKING GOOD FOR BORO, WE ARE PLAYING SOME GREAT FOOTBALL AND THERE IS SURE TO BE A GOOD CROWD AT QUEENSGATE ON SATURDAY AFTER OUR LONG LAY OFF. IT WOULD ALSO BE GOOD TO WELCOME A FEW PONTEFRACT FANS TO THE GROUND TO CREATE A BIT MORE OF AN ATMOSPHERE.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. AND "UP THE BORO"......................................
