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.

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE PRE BORO v BRODSWORTH TONIGHT


SCARBOROUGH Athletic assistant boss Darren France is looking to sign off the pre- season campaign with a victory.

France junior leads Boro out at home to Brodsworth tonight night, 7.45pm, after which he and dad Brian, who returns from holiday tomorrow, will make the final selection for Saturday's big kick-off.Darren has been a little disappointed with the club's past two pre-season results, though the performances against both Pickering and Winterton have delighted the former Hull City striker.
France has added young striker Rob Petch to the squad ahead of tonight's clash and he is also keen to give fellow frontman Ryan Blott another run-out.He said: "There have been an awful lot of positives from what we have seen in pre-season."One or two of the results have been a bit disappointing, but that doesn't matter too much until the season starts."We have been playing against sides from the division above and in truth we should have won against the likes of Pickering and Winterton."Brodsworth will be another good test for us and after that we'll be ready for the Saturday."We'll know a lot more after Brodsworth and we'll have a good idea of who will start against Askern."
