The Scarborough Athletic FC is another example of a famous football/soccer club from England. It was formed in response to the demise of the Scarborough FC in 2007. It is administered by its supporters and the board from the Seadog Trust.
The Seadog Trust assisted in the formation of Scarborough Athletic FC in the hope that it could compete in the 2007-2008 Football/Soccer season in England. The experts in football/soccer did not think that neither the Seadog Trust nor the Scarborough Athletic FC would last long.
The experts were surprised when the club named Brian France as its manager. Brian France was previously employed as manager of North Ferriby United and was credited with turning around the fortunes of that club.
The first season of the Scarborough Athletic FC under Brian France was successful taking into account the little amount of time in preparing for the 2007-2008 Season. Shaun Chadburn was the first Scarborough Atheltic FC player to score a goal for the team during their game at Northhallerton Town.
The victories of the club over Bridlington and Sutton established Scarborough Athletic FC as a club that could not be underestimated. The club finished the 2007-2008 season as semi finalists in the North Riding Senior Cup and an honor of Programme of the Year in the Northern Counties East League Division One Monthly Magazine and Soccer Club Swap Shop.
Scarborough Athletic FC started the 2008-2009 season better than the previous season. The Seadog Trust converted into a club society with membership increasing to 500. The club was a finalist of the Northern County East League President’s Club as well as champions of the Northern County East League Division One.
The club was also the recipient of the Programme of the Year for the 2008-2009 Northern County East League Division One and was in 12th place on a national level in Non League Football/Soccer at the Soccer Club Swap Shop. The Scarborough Athletic FC is starting its 2009-2010 season with confidence as the team progresses from its humble beginnings in order to take place as a famous English Football/Soccer Club.
It must be remembered that the Scarbourough Athletic FC is famous not only because of its players but also because of its supporters who refuse to allow themselves to be without a football/soccer club. The supporters of the Scarborough Athletic FC deserve the applause of the world of sports including football/soccer for deying the odds and participating in the creation of a team owned by them
