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.

TADCASTER ALBION IN LAST-GASP WIN AT PICKERING TOWN.

Tadcaster Albion beat Pickering Town with two goals in the dying minutes. Pickering were 2-1 up when in the 88th minute Albion's Marc Thompson equalised for his team and then in the final minute Albion were awarded a penalty and Carl Stewart stepped up and hit the winning goal for Albion.
At Queensgate Bridlington Town kept up the pressure on Farsley and Parkgate at the top of the table as they defeated Maltby Main 4-2, Town took the lead in the 2nd minute and never looked in danger of losing the match, ex Scarborough Athletic players were on target for Town, Craig Hogg scored from the penalty spot on 21 minutes and late in the game Scott Phillips scored the 4th goal for Town.
The only other Premier game of the day was at Armthorpe were the hosts were soundly beaten by Lincoln Moorlands Railway 8-2, Railway were actually 5-1 up by half time.
Tommorow night Scarborough Athletic travel to Arnold Town, memories of the 4-4 draw at Queensgate are still fresh in my memory, Boro were 4-0 up but ended up with the draw, Town grabbing their final goal with practically the last kick of the game.
