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.

NORTH RIDING SENIOR CUP 2nd ROUND TONIGHT.

Scarborough Athletic travel to Teeside tonight for a North Riding Senior Cup 2nd Round tie against Stokesly of the Northern League.

The reward for a victory tonight will be a meeting with York City at the quarter final stage of the competition.

Fans favourite 'Dave Thompson' was speaking in the local paper ahead of tonights game, the midfielder says that the Boro squad are feeding off the clubs huge support now that they have got used to playing in front of such large crowds.

When Athletic kicked off last season as a new team many of the players had not experienced a big match atmosphere.

Thompson said, "At first a lot of the lads were nervous simply because we were not used to it but now we can't wait to get out there and play in front of the fans because they are terrific."

Dave continued "You get used to it and then you actually start to feed off the crowds enthusiasm. You could see in the Vase game against Sunderland Nissan in particular that we did'nt stop running and we got the winner in extra time"

As for tonights game in the 2nd round of the NRSC, Thompson added "We are looking forward to the game and hopefully we can progress and face York City in the quarter finals"

That is what all Athletic fans want to see, a match against York and the chance for revenge after the defeat they inflicted on us last year.
Scarborough FC actually won this trophy 19 times during their history
