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.

BORO v GUISBOROUGH TOWN IN N.R.S.CUP. TUESDAY NIGHT.

It is the 2nd round of the North Riding Senior Cup tomorrow night (Tuesday) a competition which was won 19 teams by the old Scarborough FC during their history.
  Tomorrow, Boro are at home to Guisborough Town in the competition.
  This is a minor competition and I personally feel that the £7 admission fee will deter many fans from attending.
  Plus the fact that Rudy is unlikely to field a full strength side and the late 8.00pm kick off, I think the club are being short sighted in sticking with the same admission fee as for NCEL Premier division games.
  The old club always reduced admission for this competition, maybe we should now also.
  For those travelling the Boro supporters bus will be leaving Scarboroughrailway station at 6.30 pm, the fare just £2.


 UP THE BORO......................
