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.

BRIEF ROUND-UP FOR TODAY.

Scarborough Athletic continued their excellent form with another win today, they won 1-0 at Pontefract Collieries in an early kick-off.
Elsewhere in Division 1 of the NCEL Hemsworth drew 2-2 with Tadcaster Albion in front of 128 fans.
Rainworth won 4-2 at Rossington Main and keep the pressure on Askern Villa for the runners-up spot, and while they were gaining another precious 3 points Villa were throwing their points away as they went down 3-1 at Stavely MW.
The Teversal v Appleby Frodingham match must have been entertaining as 'Tevvie' ran out the 4-3 winners.
Other results,
Bottesford Town 3 Brighouse Town 0
Leeds Carnegie 2 Grimsby Borough 1
Worsbrough Bridge 0 Barton Town 3
Yorkshire Amateur 1 Emley 1
In the Premier Division Bridlington Town had a big 6-1 victory over Hallam and keep their 3rd position in the league.
Selby Town beat Eccleshill Utd 3-1 to maintain their 2nd placed position.
Long Eaton in 4th place were surprisingly held to a 1-1 draw by Nostell MW, in fact Long Eaton were almost beaten as they did'nt equalise until the last minute of the game through David Wilkins.
There seems to be no stopping Mickleover Sports at the top of the table, today they had a 6-2 victory away to Shirebrook.
So the top 3 in the table will remain as they were in my last post earlier today.
Top, Mickleover, 2nd Selby Town and 3rd Bridlington Town.
