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.

KEEPER DAVE BRAMLEY DECIDES TO CALL IT A DAY WITH 'BORO'

SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC GOALKEEPER 'DAVE BRAMLEY' HAS LEFT THE CLUB AND RETURNED TO HIS FORMER TEAM 'HUTTON CRANSWICK' WHO PLAY IN THE CENTRAL MIDLANDS LEAGUE.
DAVE MISSED THE BIRTLEY FA VASE TIE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS AND WAS REPLACED BY AARON REID, WHO WAS MAKING HIS FIRST TEAM DEBUT, BORO WON THE TIE 3-2 AND AARON KEPT HIS PLACE IN THE TEAMS AWAY LEAGUE FIXTURE AT BOTTESFORD TOWN, MY FIRST THOUGHT AT BOTTESFORD WHEN I SAW AARON IN THE WARM-UP WAS HOW WOULD DAVE BRAMLEY REACT TO THIS SNUB BY BRIAN FRANCE, HE HAD PLAYED IN MORE GAMES LAST SEASON THAN ANY OTHER PLAYER IN THE SQUAD AND WAS MUCH IMPROVED FROM ATHLETIC'S EARLY DAY'S WHEN THIS BLOGGER REFERRED TO HIM AS 'DODGY DAVE' IN SOME EARLY POSTS.
HOWEVER, DAVE HAD MADE SOME EXCELLENT SAVES IN HIS GAMES FOR THE BORO, HE KEPT 11 CLEAN SHEETS LAST SEASON AND WAS PLAYING REALLY WELL THIS SEASON, JUST ONE DEFEAT SO FAR THIS TERM SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, I AM SORRY TO SEE HIM GO, AND I AM SURE MANY OTHER FANS WILL HAVE SYMPATHY FOR HIM.
ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL PAPER, THE DOOR HAS BEEN LEFT OPEN FOR HIM TO RETURN TO THE CLUB, MANAGER BRIAN FRANCE IS REPORTED TO HAVE SAID "I AM HAPPY FOR DAVE TO COME BACK TRAINING WITH US IF HE WANTS TO FIGHT FOR HIS PLACE IN THE TEAM, BUT IT REALLY IS UP TO HIM".
HE IS A REAL LOSS TO THE CLUB IN MY OPINION, HIS GAME HAD IMPROVED SO MUCH, HIS DISTRIBUTION AND COMMAND OF HIS GOAL AREA HAD IMPROVED, AND HE REALLY DID PULL OFF SOME TOP CLASS SAVES THIS SEASON.
