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.

PAUL ROUTLEDGE SCORES 2 GOALS ON HIS SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC DEBUT


Scarborough Athletic had another victory today, they beat Worsbrough Bridge 5-0 at Queensgate.
Boro attacked from the first whistle and Rob Ellis almost scored in the first minute of the match, but Andy Brooke in the Bridge goal saved.
Minutes later Ellis was on target again but this time his shot was cleared off the line by a defender.
Boro took the lead in the 15th minute after Ryan Blott put Graham Botham through and Botham made no mistake.
HALF TIME 1-0.
Bridge had Forgione sent off in the 50th minute for elbowing.
Dave Kemp then hit the Bridge post before Ryan Blott forced the Bridge defence into conceding an own goal.
Debutant Paul Routledge came on in place of Botham with just 14 minutes of the game remaining and in the 90th minute he was on hand to score his first Boro goal as the Bridge 'keeper could not hold on to a Ryan Blott free kick and very soon after this he was there again as the 'keeper once again failed to keep hold of the ball-once again from Blott.
Paul Routledge, scorer of 2 goal's on his debut today.

2nd placed Askern Villa had a 2-0 victory at Yorkshire Amateur, but they are only playing for 2nd position in the league.
