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.

QUICK MID-WEEK ROUND-UP OF NCEL PREMIER GAMES.

Scarborough Athletic were beaten 2-0 at Selby Town on Tuesday night, one goal in each half was enough for Town to take all 3 points following a lack lustre display by the Seadogs, First half Boro played reasonably and had their chances but failed to take them, something that is becoming all too common in games,but the 2nd half saw a different performance, we played badly and  could have no complaints about the final outcome.
  Top team Farsley suffered a surprising defeat at Lincoln Moorlands Railway, Farsley scored first through Ben Jones in the first half and left the field at half time with a 1-0 lead. Railway however came back in the second half and goals by John Schofield and Tom Garrick meant that Farsley lost their chance of going 5 points clear at the top of the table.
 Parkgate are now just 2 points behind Farsley and also have 3 games in hand.
 Tadcaster Albion moved up 3rd place thanks to a 3-1 victory away to Dinnington Town.
  Ex Boro player Dave Hartas opened the scoring for Albion.
  Our opponents in 2 day's time 'Arnold Town' picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at neighbours Long Eaton United, elsewhere the match between bottom two clubs Liversedge and Hallam ended in a 4-2 victory for Liversedge, Ben Hardy and Jamie Walsey each scoring 2 goals.
