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.

A FEW BORO STATISTICS FROM LAST SEASON.

THE BIGGEST AWAY VICTORIES IN THE NCEL PREMIER DIVISION WERE ALL WON BY A 6 GOAL MARGIN, THERE WERE FOUR SUCH GAMES AND BORO WERE ONE OF THE FOUR TEAMS TO ACHIEVE THIS, OTHER TEAMS WERE WINTERTON, BRIGHOUSE AND BARTON TOWN  RESPECTIVELY.
THE HIGHEST ATTENDANCE OF THE LEAGUE CAMPAIGN WAS 802 FOR THE BRIDLINGTON TOWN V BORO DERBY GAME PLAYED ON BOXING DAY.
OUR HIGHEST HOME ATTENDANCE WAS 748 IN THE RETURN FIXTURE WITH OUR LANDLORDS ON THE 21ST JANUARY.
OUR SEASONS AVERAGE GATE WAS 419.
WE HAD THE 4TH BEST ATTACK THROUGHOUT THE SEASON SCORING 96 GOALS IN THE 38 GAMES PLAYED WHICH WORKS OUT AT AN AVERAGE OF 2-61 GOALS PER GAME.
WE BOASTED THE 3RD BEST DEFENCE WITH JUST 50 GOALS AGAINST, WHICH WAS 1-32 GOALS PER GAME.
WE HAD 13 CLEAN SHEETS, BETTERED ONLY BY RETFORD WHO MANAGED 14 CLEAN SHEETS.
WE FAILED TO SCORE IN JUST 2 GAMES, THIS WAS BETTERED ONLY BY OUR RIVALS BRIDLINGTON TOWN WHO FAILED TO FIND THE BACK OF THE NET IN JUST ONE GAME.
WE FINISHED 3RD IN THE TABLE AND I THINK WE HAVE A GREAT CHANCE TO WIN PROMOTION IN THE COMING SEASON.
