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.

A THRILLING HARD FOUGHT FA CUP 2nd QUALIFYING ROUND TIE BETWEEN WHITBY TOWN AND BLYTH SPARTANS BOASTED THREE CONNECTIONS WITH FORMER CLUB SCARBOROUGH FC.
Whitby Town's Turnbull Ground.
THE GAME WAS ONLY 18 SECONDS OLD WHEN TOWN TOOK THE LEAD THROUGH YOUNGSTER SAM GARVIE WHO CALMLY ROUNDED GARETH POWELL IN THE SPARTANS GOAL AND SLOTTED HOME.
IN AN INCIDENT PACKED GAME, CONSTANTLY THREATENING TO BOIL OVER THERE WERE SURPRISINGLY NO MORE GOALS UNTIL THE FINAL 10 MINUTES.
FIRST CAME A CONTROVERSIAL EQUALISER JUST 9 MINUTES FROM TIME, SPARTANS FORWARD ROB DALE APPEARED TO IMPEDE GOALKEEPER DAVE CAMPBELL ALLOWING ALLOWING CHRIS McABE TO SCRAMBLE THE BALL HOME FOR AN EQUALISING GOAL, REFEREE Mr BANNISTER WHO RECENTLY ALLOWED 'THE GOAL THAT NEVER WAS' AT WATFORD SAW NOTHING WRONG AND ALLOWED THE GOAL TO STAND, EVEN WORSE WAS TO COME AS JUST THREE MINUTES LATER FORMER SCARBOROUGH FC PLAYER GED DALTON PUT BLYTH INTO THE LEAD WITH A CLEVER FLICK ON WHICH HAD 'KEEPER DAVE CAMPBELL WELL BEATEN.
IT LOOKED AS THOUGH TOWN WERE GOING TO MAKE AN EARLY EXIT FROM THIS SEASONS COMPETITION, BUT 5 MINUTES DEEP INTO INJURY TIME ANOTHER FORMER SCARBOROUGH FC PLAYER, TONY HACKWORTH HAD HIS SHIRT PULLED AS HE HEADED FOR THE SPARTANS GOALMOUTH, REFEREE BANNISTER PLAYED AN EXCELLENT ADVANTAGE ALLOWING HACKWORTH TO FIND ANDY THOMPSON WHO SLAMMED THE BALL HOME GIVING TOWN A REPRIEVE AND A REPLAY AT CROFT PARK.
