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.

RUDY APOLOGISES TO FANS.



FUNK SAYS SORRY FOR CUP STUFFING.
SCARBOROUGH Athletic manager Rudy Funk apologised to the fans after last night’s dismal 5-1 North Riding Cup defeat at the hands of Guisborough Town.
Funk’s heavily altered side were comfortably second best on the night, but the Boro chief did manage to grab a positive or two.
Nick McNamara burst back onto the scene with a solid performance in the middle of the park, while youngster Wilf Dinsdale impressed from the bench.
Funk said: " I would like to apologise to the fans because there were a good few made it down to the game.
" I was impressed with Nick, who came back after injury, and I was impressed with Wilf, who looks a good find.
" Ryan Blott showed a few good touches but apart from that we were very disappointoing.
" There were a lot of senior players on show out there and a lot of them let us down.
" We underlined before and after the game that this was a competitive game, so I am not happy and I will be speaking to them at training on Thursday."
That was Boro’s final escapade in cup competitions this season, so Funk has now switched his full attention to the NCEL Premier.
He added: " We have to focus our efforts on the league season now because we have nothing left.
" We will do exactly that and will work very, very hard to make the club successful."
