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.

UNBEATEN RUN FINALLY ENDS (After 4 minutes of injury time)

Sadly our 9 game winning streak came to an abrupt end yesterday as we were narrowly beaten away to Parkgate.I could not attend this game, instead I went to Queensgate to watch one of our rivals Bridlington Town beat Nostell MW 3-0. The game at Brid' was definately a 'game of 2 halves', the first 45 minutes were terrible, Nostell were the better organised team and were slightly on top, but the introduction of Dave Ricardo by Brid' for the 2nd period changed the game completely, Brid took the lead within 60 seconds of the re-start and the whole 2nd half was entertaining to watch and it was no surprise that Brid' ended the game as 3-0 winners and are 2nd in the league table just 2 points behind Scarborough Athletic.
Athletic must have thought they had the game won yesterday in South Yorkshire as they were 3-2 in front with 71 minutes of the game played. Dave Kemp, Craig Hogg and Mark Griffin were the Boro scorers but in the 88th minute of the game Parkgate found an equalising goal and then deep into injury time David Kippax scored what turned out to be the winning goal for Parkgate, so ending the remarkable 9 game winning run that Scarborough Athletic were hoping to extend even further.
Scarborough Athletic do maintain their top place position in the league, they are on 27 points while 2nd placed Bridlington Town are on 25 and in 3rd place are Armthorpe Welfare who themselves dropped their first points of the season following their 1-1 draw at Long Eaton United yesterday, they are now 3 points behind Town on 22 points.
