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.

TIME TO VOTE FOR 'PLAYER OF THE YEAR'

YOU JUST KNOW THE SEASON IS ALMOST OVER WHEN THE 'PLAYER OF THE YEAR' FORM APPEARS IN THE PAPER.
THERE ARE SO MANY PLAYERS WHO FOR DIFFERENT REASONS COULD EASILY BE NAMED AS 'BORO'S' TOP PLAYER.
I IMAGINE RYAN BLOTT WILL EVENTUALLY RECEIVE THE AWARD, AS HE IS A CLASS ACT AND WILL POSSIBLY END THE SEASON WITH OVER 50 GOALS TO HIS CREDIT.
DAVE THOMPSON VERY RARELY PUTS A FOOT WRONG WHEN HE PLAYS AND IS SURE TO RECEIVE PLENTY OF VOTES.
MIDFIELDER GARY HEPPLES ALWAYS MAKES A DIFFERENCE TO THE TEAMS PERFORMANCE USUALLY WHEN COMING AS A SUB'.
JOEL HARTLEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN CONTENTION HAD HE PLAYED MORE GAMES AND DAVE KEMP IS A FAVOURITE OF MANY FANS.
AND UNDERESTIMATED DEFENDER GRAHAM BOTHAM COULD BE A CONTENDER, HOW MANY GOALS HAVE COME FROM A 'BOTH' CORNER KICK THIS SEASON.
SO, WHO HAVE I VOTED FOR ?


Jamie Waltham.


MY VOTE HAS GONE TO 'JAMIE WALTHAM', TIME AND AGAIN HE HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING AT THE BACK, NEVER SHIRKING A TACKLE, MAKING HIS PRESENCE FELT, ORGANISING THE REST OF THE DEFENCE.
HE IS A CLASS DEFENDER AND IN MY OPINION THE TEAM PLAYS BETTER WHEN JAMIE PLAYS, THANKFULLY HE DOES NOT MISS MANY GAMES.
I THINK THE VOTING WILL BE FAIRLY OPEN, IT HAS TO BE REMEMBERED THE TEAM HAVE ALL BEEN MAGNIFICENT ALL SEASON AND THEY ALL DESERVE SO MUCH CREDIT FOR THE STANDARD OF FOOTBALL THEY HAVE TURNED OUT WEEK IN, WEEK OUT BOTH HOME AND AWAY.
UP THE BORO.................
