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.

BRIDLINGTON TOWN WIN 'DERBY' FIXTURE.

After Scarborough Athletic's dismal performance on a freezing cold night at Queensgate against 'landlords' Bridlington Town, I for one have to concede and face the fact that we are not going to win promotion to the Unibond for another season at least.
Boro had skipper Graham Botham back in the side, but tonight was to be Bridlington Town's night.
Ex Boro player Craig Hogg now with Town, had his chances in the opening minutes and Brid' could have been a couple of goals to the good after just 10 minutes played.
Boro did have their chances and did hit the crossbar and also have a couple of efforts scrambled to safety, but in the 30th minute of the game the inevitable happened, Bridlington Town took the lead, their pressure paid off and it was Craig Hogg who supplied the cross which lead to Craig Burdick scoring Brid's opening goal.
Half time: 
BRID' TOWN 1 SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC 0.
The 2nd half saw Reid in the Boro goal pull off some terrific saves, but Boro were poor and in spite of Reid's heroics Craig Burdick doubled his and his teams tally and the final result was 2-0 to Brid' Town, a win which keeps them 1 point clear of Rainworth MW at the top of the NCEL Premier division.
THE TABLE NOW 10/02.10
BRID'TOWN                    25.60
RAINWORTH MW          23.59
THACKLEY                     24.48
