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.

PARKGATE AND BORO SHARE THE POINTS TONIGHT.

Parkgate silenced the large Boro following and stunned their opponents with a goal inside the first minute of play, following a poor clearance by the Boro defence, Nathan Swindells was left with an easy opportunity and he took his chance well striking the ball home from near the edge of the penalty area.
  But the joy for Parkgate was to be shortlived as Boro stormed on with attack after attack and it was only moments later when Paddy Miller found the inevitable equaliser heading the ball firmly home following a corner.
  Boro looked dangerous and were attacking at will, but Parkgate themselves were looking as if they were capable of scoring also and it was a thoroughly entertaining first 45 minutes, the score remained 1-1 at the interval, a Ryan Blott header just before the break was cleared off the goal line by a Parkgate defender with 'keeper Jamie Bailey looking on helplessly.
  The 2nd half continued in much the same way as the 1st, Boro held the upper hand but Parkgate had their chances in what was at times end to end football.
  Dave Kemp had a commanding game in the Boro defence and Kev Martin in the Boro goal made some excellent saves, just as Parkgate's Jamie Bailey did at the other end of the pitch.
  So, a really entertaining game and played in the right spirit, and it was good to see a referee turning in a good performance also.
  The final score was 1-1.
  3 points would have been nice but in fairness, Parkgate probably felt they deserved their share of the points tonight.
 BORO TEAM:
MARTIN.WINTERS.MILLER.KEMP.HACKWORTH.NAYLOR.LAW.HEPPLES.BLOTT.BERNARD.GHAICHAM.
SUBS:
WINDASS.HEWITT.McNAMARA.BELT.INGRAM.
  Saturday's game at Retford promises to be a cracker.
UP THE BORO..................
