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.

Scarborough Ladies FC, who have a sponsorship deal with Scarborough Athletic FC have been honoured with the award of 'Top community sports club' in the Scarborough & District sports awards.
1st team manager Gareth Davies proudly collected the award on behalf of the club.
The award was given to the club for it's outstanding community work in the town over the past 12 months.
St Catherines hospice benefited to the tune of £500, which was raised by the club after it had organised an open day during the summer.

The club presently boast 5 competetive teams and are soon to introduce an under 10's team also.
Last year the club received the FA Charter Standard Award for their continuing work in the community.
Along with Scarborough Athletic the club are growing in stature and the town (not just the supporters) should be proud of the achievments of both clubs and give them the support and encouragment that they both thoroughly deserve, both clubs have excellent futures in prospect, Scarborough Athletic kept football alive in the town after the demise of the old club, Athletic are the town's premier club and with the connection between the two clubs, the Ladies teams are sure to be as successful in their own right.
