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.

OTHER NCEL PREMIER GAMES YESTERDAY.

Scarborough Athletic's match with Arnold Town has been covered in my last post, that is one game to be forgotton about in all honesty, meanwhile as the Boro fans were being bored to tears with the game at Queensgate our landlord's Bridlington Town did well to gain a point away to Armthorpe Welfare, Town were 2-0 up at half time but Leo Fortune West pulled a goal back for Welfare and then just 6 minutes from time Joe Wilcox equalised for Welfare earning his team a share of the points.
  Brighouse Town were well beaten 5-0 at home by Maltby Main.
  Winterton Rangers were another side to throw away a 2-0 interval lead, they were away to Long Eaton and the home sides Shaun Rickford scored in the 63rd and 78th minute to earn his side a point.
  Farsley AFC continue d their indifferent form with another defeat, this time away to Parkgate, Ashley Worsfold opening the scoring for Parkgate in the 19th minute only for Farsley's Roy Stamer to equalise just 2 minutes later. Parkgate again took the lead thanks to Nathan Swindells and a further goal in the 2nd half from early scorer Worsfold. Roy Starmer did find a 2nd goal for Farsley in the 74th minute but Parkgate held on for their victory and 3 precious points which now sees them 1 point above Farsley at the top of the table and a massive 3 games in hand over their rivals.
  Robbie Hawkes rescued a late win for Pickering Town with his 90th minute goal against Nostell MW and in the only other game from yesterday another late goal decided the outcome of the Selby Town v Lincoln Moorlands Railway match as Selby's Adam Lee scored his teams winning goal in their 2-1 victory in the 89th minute.
  Scarborough Athletic travel to Nostell MW on Tuesday night for their next game.
UP THE BORO.........
