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.

BOTTESFORD VIA ROTHWELL ON SATURDAY.

I am looking forward to the game at Bottesford Town on Saturday, and so is my daughter 'Dayle' who will be coming also, Dayle lives in Rothwell near Leeds and gets to as many 'Boro' games as possible, I told her to have the kettle on at 1.00pm and then she will be navigating the journey, as I think the ground is a bit out of the way and not easy to find, I finally got there 20 minutes after kick off last season, so I will allow plenty of time this time around.
'Town' are having mixed fortunes this season, they had a massive 7-1 victory over Worsbrough Bridge in the leage at the end of August, but following that result was a 2-2 home draw in the FA Cup with Flixton in front of just 72 spectators and they crashed out of the competition 4 days later in the replay in what must have been a fascinating game as the result was 7-5 in Flixton's favour.

One week later and 'Town' went out of the FA Vase, losing 2-0 away to Brandon, another poor result in the league followed their Vase knockout as they were narrowly beaten 2-1 away to Pontefract.

Last Saturday saw a good result come 'Town's' way as they thrashed Glasshoughton 5-1 in the League Cup, this game attracted just 57 fans, so we are now their next opponents and Boro should be too good for Town if we play to our capabilities and victory could see us back on top of the league at 4.45 pm on Saturday afternoon depending on Hemsworths result against Emley, Something I have noticed about Bottesford Towns results is the fact that striker 'Phil Jackman' has scored in every game since his 2 goals away to Maltby Main in the FA Cup back on August 16th, I can't really see our defence being troubled too much on Saturday but I'm sure his scoring record will have been noticed.
It is getting really tight at the top of the league, it is going to be a very exciting season, so keep on reading .
UP THE BORO..............
