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.

DANNY GRAY HAT TRICK IN 7-1 AWAY VICTORY AT BOTTESFORD TOWN.

"BORO" PROGRESSED TO THE NEXT STAGE OF THE PRESIDENTS CUP LAST NIGHT WITH A MAGNIFICENT 7-1 AWAY VICTORY AT BOTTESFORD TOWN.
CAPTAIN, GRAHAM BOTHAM OPENED THE SCORING FOR THE BORO AFTER JUST 18 MINUTES, DANNY GRAY SCORED THE FIRST OF HIS HAT TRICK ONLY 7 MINUTES LATER AND SHORTLY AFTER HALF TIME HE GRABBED HIS 2nd, FINALLY COMPLETING HIS HAT TRICK WITH HALF AN HOUR OF THE GAME REMAINING.
RICHARD MEDCALF SCORED GOAL NUMBER 5.
BRIAN FRANCE BROUGHT ON ELLIS,BLOTT AND GRIFFIN TO GIVE THEM A RUN OUT AND IT WAS TO BE ELLIS WHO WOULD ADD BORO'S NEXT GOAL AND RYAN BLOTT COMPLETED THE ROUT WITH THE SEVENTH GOAL.
FULL DETAILS ARE ON THE SCARBOROUGH TODAY SITE, I WAS NOT AMONGST THE 148 FAN'S PRESENT AT THE GAME, AS I WAS EXPECTING A FEW MORE PLAYERS TO BE RESTED AND NOT MANY GOALS, AND TO BE HONEST NOT MUCH OF A GAME - HOW WRONG COULD I HAVE BEEN.
HOWEVER, I SHALL BE AT ROSSINGTON ON SATURDAY AND THEY WILL NOT BE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR VISIT.
WE ARE NOW UNBEATEN SINCE THE 2nd LEAGUE MATCH OF THE SEASON WHEN WE LOST 1-0 TO RAINWORTH, SINCE THEN WE HAVE PLAYED 12 MATCHES, WON 11 OF THEM AND DRAWN THE OTHER 2-2 AGAINST HEMSWORTH.
UP THE BORO..............
