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.

2nd PLACED DOWN TO 7TH PLACED TEAMS IN NCEL DIV 1 ALL WIN TODAY.

The 6 teams below leaders Scarborough Athletic all had victories in Division 1 today, therefore piling on the pressure on Scarborough who do not have a league match until next Saturday, but what a match that promises to be at Emley.Boro had a blank day today due to tommorows FA Vase tie with Sunderland Nissan.

Pontefract Collieries made it into 2nd place on goal difference over Emley, Pontefract had a 4-1 victory away to basement club Glasshoughton Welfare, at the same time Emley were sneaking a 1-0 win over Yorkshire Amateurs. Both Pontefract and Emley are now 1 point behind the leaders having played 1 game more than the 'Boro' also.

Askern Villa are now in 4th place thanks to a 1-0 victory over Stavely MW.

Barton Town Old Boys are placed 5th after their fine 2-1 victory over Worsbrough Bridge Athletic.

Hemsworth in 6th had a 3-1 victory over Tadcaster Albion and even Rainworth MW back in 7th place had a 5-1 win over Rossington Main, not really a surprising result against Rossington.

So the top of the league now reads Scarborough Athletic top with 36 points from 15 games played, 2nd placed Pontefract have 35 points from 16 games as do Emley, a goal difference of just 1 seperates the 2 sides.

Askern Villa are 1 point behind Emley but they have played 1 extra game.

Barton are in 5th place on 32 points but they have only played 14 games, 6th placed Hemsworth are not really challengers as they have played 18 games and are on 29 points.

Rainworth are 7th on 27 points but they have played only 13 games so must be considered as genuine promotion challengers.

Askern Villa have the chance on Tuesday night to take over at the top of the league as they play Tadcaster Albion and victory for 'Villa' would place them temporarily above Scarborough Athletic possibly for a couple of weeks as our next league game is on the 29th November.
So for the 2nd week running Boro fans will be checking on Tadcaster Albion's progress on Tuesday as it will once again be in their hands if we remain top or not, they had a terrific victory over Emley on Monday night of this week, so good luck Taddy again for Tuesday.
Scarborough Athletic's next game is away to Emley, this should be a great game of football as both sides can be entertaining and with so much at stake it should be a great occasion and there should be a very good attendance, I would expect around 250 Boro fans to make the trip to West Yorkshire.
