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.

REPORT FROM NCEL OFFICIAL SITE:
Seadogs Raise Over £850 For Sport Relief. Scarborough Athletic's Sport Relief Mile team braved the cold and put their best foot forward to raise over £850 for the charity at the weekend.But, the club hope to raise even more charity cash.Boro directors Simon Cope, Ben Courtney, Wendy Danby, Chris Rooke and Andy Troughton were joined by player Gary Hepples, website manager Steve Smith and young team mascot Bertie Courtney. In a bitterly cold wind, the team strode on and completed the courses of either one or three miles, along with over 500 other competitors. Gary Hepples came third overall in the three mile competition, whilst the other team members clocked various times on both the one and three mile courses. Chairman Cope said: "The amount raised so far has been fantastic, but it doesn't stop there and we’d like to hear from individuals or businesses who can help us lift us over our £1000 target."
