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.

MOTORWAY HOLD-UP PREVENTS ME GETTING TO FINAL AWAY MATCH

IT IS NOW AFTER MIDNIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT AND I AM WRITING THIS POST ON MY DAUGHTERS PC IN ROTHWELL.
TODAY'S PLAN WAS TO TRAVEL TO BORROWASH TO WATCH "BORO'S" FINAL AWAY GAME OF THE SEASON AND THEN ON THE WAY BACK HOME STAY OVERNIGHT AT MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE IN ROTHWELL AND DECORATE HER HALLWAY FOR HER ON SUNDAY BEFORE RETURNING HOME.
HOWEVER, PARTLY MY OWN FAULT DUE TO ME NOT LEAVING FILEY UNTIL 12.30 pm I DID NOT GET TO THE MATCH AT ALL TODAY, I MADE GOOD TIME GETTING TO THE A1/M1, BUT AT ALMOST 2.00pm I WAS SUDDENLY IN A LARGE TRAFFIC HOLD-UP DUE TO AN ACCIDENT AND REALISED THAT I WOULD BE VERY LUCKY TO REACH BORROWASH BEFORE KICK-OFF, SO RELUCTANTLY I HEADED BACK ACROSS TOWARDS LEEDS AND MADE AN EARLY START ON THE DECORATING. AS FOR THE FOOTBALL, BORO DREW 2-2, AFTER BEING 2 GOALS DOWN, SO THEY STAGED A GOOD FIGHTBACK, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE TEAM WHICH MANAGER 'BRIAN FRANCE' HAD TO FIELD DUE TO INJURIES AND SUSPENSIONS TO REGULAR PLAYERS. NEXT WEEK SEE'S THE FINAL MATCH OF THE SEASON, A HOME GAME AGAINST STAVELY,IF WE WIN OR DRAW THIS GAME THEN WE WILL HAVE FINISHED THE SEASON ON A REMARKABLE 12 MATCH UNBEATEN RUN.
UP THE BORO............................
