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.

INJURY CRISIS FOR BOTTESFORD GAME.

FROM THE EVENING NEWS WEBSITE:
SCARBOROUGH Athletic have been hit by an injury crisis ahead of tomorrow's home clash against Bottesford Town, 3pm.
Striker Ryan Blott, midfielders Ryan Morton and Scott Phillips and defender Carl Wood are all suffering with knocks.Blott, Morton and Wood all have groin injuries, while top-scorer Phillips has pulled his back.Better news for boss Brian France is that Gary Hepples came through his first game back in the squad on Tuesday night against York and fellow midfielder Graham Botham returns from suspension.France said: “It’s bad timing really. Blotty and Woody are definitely out, we will have to wait and see about Scott and Ryan.“We do have players to slot in there, but when you play against a good side like Bottesford, you like to have your full team on the field.”“We want to finish this season with a bang, but things like this are making it difficult.“If we’d have had this team out all season, without injury, then we would be right up there, but things don’t work out like that unfortunately.”
