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.

AS THE NEW 2012-13 SEASON APPROACHES BORO LINE UP 7 FRIENDLIES DURING JULY.

BORO FANS HAVE SEVEN PRE SEASON FIXTURES TO LOOK FORWARD TO DURING THE MONTH OF JULY.
THE FIRST GAME IS THE USUAL PRE SEASON OPENER AGAINST LOCAL SIDE EASTFIELD, LAST SEASON WE WERE 4-0 WINNERS AND THE PREVIOUS SEASON SAW THE BORO DEMOLISH EASTFIELD BY 9 GOALS TO NIL.
IT WILL BE A GOOD OPENER AND NO DOUBT THERE WILL BE LOCAL PLAYERS ON THE DAY TRYING TO CATCH THE APPROVING EYE OF BORO' BOSS RUDY FUNK.
THE GAME WILL BE PLAYED AT YORKSHIRE COAST COLLEGE WITH A 3.00pm KICK OFF.
BORO'S SECOND GAME WILL BE AWAY TO ECCLESHILL UNITED SEVEN DAYS LATER AND THEN  ON TUESDAY EVENING THE 17th OF JULY WE WILL TRAVEL TO KIRKLINGTON ROAD STADIUM THE HOME OF RUDY'S OLD TEAM RAINWORTH MINERS WELFARE FOR WHAT PROMISES TO BE A TERRIFIC NIGHT.
THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY WILL SEE US TAKE THE SHORT TRIP OVER THE NORTH YORKSHIRE MOORS TO WHITBY WHERE WE WILL TAKE ON WHITBY TOWN AT THEIR TURNBULL GROUND.
FIVE DAYS LATER WE WILL BE HEADING SOUTH TO EASTWOOD TOWN, TOWN HAVE WON THE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE SENIOR CUP FOR THE PAST 3 SEASONS AND THIS COULD BE AN ATTRACTIVE GAME, THEN SATURDAY 28th THE GAME WE WILL ALL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO - THE VISIT TO QUEENSGATE OF NOTTS COUNTY FC, THIS WILL PROVE A REAL TEST FOR THE BORO AND THERE SHOULD BE A SIZEABLE CROWD, AND HOPEFULLY A GOOD FEW COUNTY FANS VISITING THE SEASIDE.
FINALLY WE WILL JOURNEY SOUTHWARDS TO GOOLE TOWNS VICTORIA PLEASURE GROUNDS, THE GROUND WHICH I SAW BORO IN AN AWAY GAME FOR THE FIRST TIME BACK IN 1964.
