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.

'TADDY' DO US ANOTHER GOOD TURN.......

ASKERN VILLA LAST NIGHT HAD THE CHANCE TO GO ABOVE SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC IF THEY COULD TAKE ALL 3 POINTS IN THEIR HOME FIXTURE WITH TADCASTER ALBION.
TADCASTER ARE PROVING TO BE A DIFFICULT SIDE TO PLAY AGAINST, THEY WERE 2 GOALS UP INSIDE THE FIRST 5 MINUTES AS MATTHEW SUGGITT SCORED IN THE 1st MINUTE AND 4 MINUTES LATER KEVIN SMITH DOUBLED THE ALBION LEAD.
THE GAME REMAINED 2-0 UNTIL THE 78th MINUTE WHEN VILLA PULLED 1 GOAL BACK AND THEN WITH JUST 5 MINUTES REMAINING VILLA GRABBED AN EQUALISER AND THAT WAS THE FINAL SCORE 2-2.
A GREAT EFFORT BY TADCASTER ALBION AND A WELL DESERVED POINT FOR THEM. SURPRISINGLY THE ATTENDANCE AT ASKERN WAS ONLY 39 NOT VERY GOOD CONSIDERING THAT THE TEAM WERE PLAYING THIS GAME TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO HEAD THE TABLE.
ASKERN VILLA ARE NOW 1 POINT BEHIND SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC BUT ATHLETIC HAVE THE LUXURY OF A 3 GAME ADVANTAGE.
SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC STILL HAVE NO LEAGUE FIXTURE UNTIL NOVEMBER 29th WHEN IT WILL BE THE MUCH AWAITED FIXTURE AT EMLEY.
MEANWHILE THIS SATURDAY 3rd PLACED PONTEFRACT AND 4th PLACED EMLEY CLASH, THEY ARE BOTH ON 35 POINTS AND BOTH HAVE PLAYED 16 GAMES.
THE TOP FEW PLACES OF THE TABLE IS A VERY EXCITING PLACE TO BE AND THERE ARE SOME TERRIFIC FIXTURES COMING UP IN THE FOLLOWING WEEKS.
