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.

BORO PROGRESS IN FA VASE WITH VICTORY AT ARMTHORPE

Boro are through to the next stage of the FA Vase following their victory in tonight's replay at Armthorpe.
Boro twice came back from  behind. Graham Botham levelled the scores at 1-1, then Boro went 2-1 down and again fought back and Bill Law made the scoreline 2-2, and it was Ryan Blott who gave us a 3-2 lead which we held on to and now face a home tie with Spennymoor Town in the next round on December 4th at Queensgate.
 Spennymoor are having a good season and are currently 2nd in the Northern League Division 1.
 They are in great away form, unbeaten having won 9 and drawn 1 of their games on their travels, scoring 51 goals against just 13 in those 10 games played. 
  So it should be a great occasion on 4th December when we play them at Queensgate, the victors will then be just a possible 4 games away from a Wembley final appearance.
UP THE BORO..................
