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.

'UP THE BORO' and Appleby Frodingham FC.

Why Appleby Frodingham ? you are wondering, the same time as we are playing at Esh Winning on Saturday in the Vase 'Appleby Frodingham' will be playing our nearest rivals to our number one position in the league table 'Hemsworth Miners Welfare'.
Welfare are just behind us on goal difference at the top of the league, although we do have a two game advantage, but if AF can beat 'Welfare' then it would give us a nice three point advantage and leave us three games in hand also.
AF are on a good run at the moment and are more than capable of beating 'Welfare', they are unbeaten in their last three league encounters, having won 3-0 away to Grimsby Borough, they followed that with a 4 goal demolision of Tadcaster and most recently a 3-2 victory away to basement club 'Glasshoughton', that is an impressive run, especially considering that the Grimsby victory was the teams first win in the league this season.
So good luck to Appleby Frodingham on Saturday, as well as to Boro who could be one step closer at 4.45 pm to a date with Wembley Stadium in the FA Vase.
If you are travelling up the A1 on Saturday, keep an eye out for red and white Boro scarves hanging out of car windows, I would expect there to be quite a large number of fans making the journey.
UP THE BORO.......
