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.

BORO TAKE ALL THE POINTS AT PONTEFRACT.

Today saw Boro play their penultimate away match of the league season at lowly Pontefract, and although it was a very poor game by Boro's normal high standards, they did however extend their present run of nine succesive unbeaten games to ten. Scott Phillips and Ryan Blott were the scorers today, both goals coming in the first ten minutes of the game.
There were couple of incidents today which will not do the name of the club any good at all (off the pitch). Hopefully the club will be aware of and take the necessary action against the individuals concerned.
On the pitch Jamie Waltham let the side down badly again by yet another sending off, I personally think that in spite of his obvious quality it is time that he and "Boro" parted company. He has become a liability.
As I have stated, we are now on a 10 match unbeaten run which has seen 6 home games and 4 away games produce 7 wins and 3 draws, we now have only 2 games left of the season, next week sees the clubs longest journey in the league when they visit Borrowash who are situated very close to Derby County's "Pride Park".ground. Boro produced a record victory over Borrowash recently when we beat them 8-0 in the home fixture, so the 3 points at their place should be our's for the taking, and then 7 day's later, sadly, it will be the final game of the season, a home match against Stavely.
A great end to a great first season for the club, next season promises so much.
