THINGS ARE VERY TIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE NCEL PREMIER DIVISION.
MICKLEOVER SPORTS ARE LEADING THE WAY AND ARE 6 POINTS CLEAR OF 2nd PLACED SELBY TOWN WHO ARE AT HOME TODAY TO BOTTOM OF THE TABLE ECCLESHILL UNITED.
BRIDLINGTON TOWN HAVE A DIFFICULT GAME TODAY AS HALLAM ARE THE VISITORS TO QUEENSGATE.
BRIDLINGTON TOWN ARE CURRENTLY IN 3rd PLACE ON 67 POINTS AND HALLAM ARE IN 6th PLACE, OUT OF THE RUNNING BUT STILL FORMIDABLE OPPONENTS TODAY.
LONG EATON WHO ARE IN 4th PLACE WITH A GAME IN HAND OVER THE 2nd AND 3rd PLACED TEAMS AND JUST 2 POINTS BEHIND THEM HAVE A RELATIVELY EASY HOME GAME AGAINST 15th PLACED NOSTELL MW.
THE TOP OF THE DIVISION BEFORE TODAYS GAMES LOOKS LIKE THIS:
MICKLEOVER SPORTS played 31. points 75.
SELBY TOWN played 31. points 69.
BRID' TOWN played 31. points 67.
LONG EATON UTD played 30. points 65.
So while it looks as though Mickleover will be champions, either of the 3 mentioned sides are capable of finishing in the runners-up position, so an exciting end of season is assured for fans of the teams concerned. I personally am rooting ffor Bridlington Town, I hope all other Boro fans will also.
SCARBOROUGH FOOTBALL CLUB WERE FORCED INTO LIQUIDATION AT THE END OF THE 2006-07 SEASON. A NEW TRUST RUN CLUB HAS NOW BEEN FORMED "SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC" AND THIS BLOG WILL FOLLOW THEIR FORTUNES, BOTH ON AND OFF THE FOOTBALL FIELD. UP THE BORO !!!
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.
