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.

2-0 VICTORY OVER TADCASTER PUTS IN FORM BORO' TOP OF THE TABLE.

A hard fought victory today in freezing conditions against a very good Tadcaster Albion side  has put Scarborough Athletic in number one position in the league table.
  Now with just six league fixtures remaining promotion  really is in our own hands, we can now look forward to the derby game with Bridlington Town on Saturday with real confidence and enthusiasm, it promises to be a great day at Queensgate and there should be a bumper crowd in the ground creating a wonderful atmosphere, and as a bonus the early kick off will mean that those who wish will be able to take in a second game, I will be at the Pickering Town match
  Boro's goals came late in the game today, Paddy Miller opened the scoring with 16 minutes remaining and Ryan Blott grabbed our second goal deep into injury time.
  We are now 2 points above Brighouse Town, both teams having played the same number of games.
  It is going to be a great finish to the season.
  I thought the attendance today of 381 was terrific considering the weather conditions.

                               UP THE BORO'.
