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.

Scarborough Town popped up again ONE AND ONLY POST ABOUT THIS SHOWER OF S***E

I was as pleased as anyone could be last season when Scarborough TOWN finally shot themselves in the foot, they tried to con their way into the NCEL, even got themselves accepted but were finally thrown out because they could not keep to their assurances regarding floodlights etc.
        Scarborough Athletic are a credit to the town and will be an even bigger success as they work their way up the pyramid , they will go from strength to strength, but having this 2nd team playing under the name 'Scarborough Town' can do nothing but slow down the progress of football in the town, we 'Athletic' have a loyal following and always will have, but this 2nd team will naturally steal a handful of our fans for certain games, simply because they will be  playing locally and if they have an attractive fixture while we have a less attractive game on the day then a few fans will probably go to the Town game, this will have an effect on the future of the towns football, the town cannot support 2 teams, especially 2 successful teams, I hope they 'Town' will not be successful, and if they are run in the same way as before then hopefully off the field events will stop them from actually reforming.
    WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM, GREAT SUPPORTERS, THE FUTURE LOOKS GOOD, THE TOWN CANNOT SUPPORT ANOTHER SIDE, SO GIVE UP NOW AND GET BEHIND THE TOWN'S NUMBER ONE TEAM "SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC FC"........
UP THE BORO.................
