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.

POOR PERFORMANCE SEES 'BORO' LOSE AT HALLAM.

Despite a glorious opening goal from Scott Phillips it was not be Scarborough Athletic's day in South Yorkshire at a very foggy and dismal Hallam FC.
Follwing Scott's 11th minute opener the travelling fans had very little to cheer as the team turned in a rare poor performance.
Phil Reynolds headed the equaliser for the home side just 8 minutes after the Boro opener.
Rob Northern had the chance for Boro to regain the lead as he was put through by Dave Ricardo but his shot was saved by a swinging foot from the Hallam 'keeper.
Half time eventually came with the score remaining at 1-1.
It looked like Boro meant business as the 2nd half got under way as Ryan Blott's terrific long range shot had to be well saved by Taylor in the Hallam goal.
But Hallam were the better side today and it was only going to be a matter of time before the home side would take the lead, the 52nd minute to be exact as Preece's shot from 18 yards sailed into the top corner of the Boro goal.
Boro did have their chances and Scott Phillips was unlucky to see his header go narrowly wide following a Dave Hartas free kick.
But, 6 minutes from full time Hallam's Wood put his side 3-1 up and cruelly deep into injury time Wood grabbed his 2nd goal of the game and that was the final score 4-1.
A crowd of 232 were present in the foggy conditions.
Other games involving the top teams yesterday were Bridlington Town's 1-1 home draw against Liversedge, top placed side Rainworth MW won 2-1 away to Parkgate in front of just 78 paying fans and finally 4th placed Thackley had a 7-0 home victory against basement club Brodsworth Welfare.
