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.

ARNOLD v BORO POSTPONED BUT 3 GAMES WENT AHEAD LAST NIGHT

Yet another postponment for Scarborough Athletic, but three games did go on last night, the pick of them was probably the Selby Town v Bridlington Town game, Selby had a new manager in Gary Paton following Mick Gray's departure which he states was down mainly to unfair criticism in the local press, all I can say to that is that if he had been manager here at Boro then he would have probably have left after a very short spell at the club, as the local paper here is hopeless as far as sport is concerned, our usual reporter has a stronger alliance with a team some 20 miles inland and I do not understand how his so called reports ever get printed, also the remarks on the Surfing seadog forum from a handful of fans who seem to consider themselves to be the voice of the club are enough to make most genuine fans embarrassed, lose a couple of games and there are the usual calls to string the manager up etc, win a couple and the manager is the best thing since sliced bread, we must have the most fickle fans in the league, just as the old club had a few seasons ago.
  Anyway, Bridlington Town went to Selby last night looking for 3 points to keep up the pressure on their rivals at the top of the table and they won the game in style by 4 goals to 1, Steve Lyon opened the scoring for Brid' in the 30th minute and a Gareth Owen double in the 79th and 82nd minutes made the score 3-1 before 'old faithful' Phil Harrison added the 4th Brid' goal of the game.
  The other 2 games last night saw Brighouse Town lose 2-1 at home to Liversedge and the other game ended in a 4-1 defeat for Tadcaster Albion at Thackley.
COME ON BORO......................................................
