Valencia, historically one of the more successful clubs in La Liga. In recent times, despite the recent cup win, they have become more of a selling club, continually letting their best players leave just to balance the books. Nothing illustrates their financial hardship more than a half-built stadium, abandoned in 2009 due to lack of funds, and still waiting to be completely. That changes now. The aim is to get Los Che back to the top table in Spain and European.

March 2024 March began with more frustration for Scarborough as they dropped more points when they could only manage a 1-1 draw with Coventry City. The Seadogs came into this one as massive favourites, with Coventry languishing in 22nd in the league at k...

Sadly not got to play as much recently..... I've not forgotten about you all though, hope everyone is staying safe and OK. Latest update below. February 2024 Scarborough remain second in the league, level on points with league leaders Ipswich, foll...

The man, the legend. He should boss that division for you. "There's plenty more goals in the Sea" as we say here in Scarborough Kenlock was decent for me on an earlier version but thinking his attributes have been downgraded massively a...

January 2024 The New Year began with more frustration for the Seadogs as they threw away a 2-goal lead at home against Shrewsbury Town to only earn a point. The hosts have been on a struggling run of form of late but must have felt the corner had finally...

December 2023 Scarborough ensured their name would once again be in the hat for the FA Cup 3rd round as they dismantled Exeter City in their Second-Round clash at the Scarborough Sports Village. It was the first game at the stadium since the renovations...

November 2023 Scarborough began November with a fantastic 2-1 victory against high flying Scunthorpe United despite being reduced to 10 men for the majority of the 2nd half. The match saw Scarborough travel to Scunthorpe, where they played part of last s...

October 2023 Scarborough began October with a dominant 4-1 win against Manchester City Under 23’s in the Group stages of the EFL Trophy. Scarborough came into this off the back of a 10-day break, knowing victory would see them secure progress to th...

September 2023 Scarborough began the month with their first defeat of the season, as they fell 1-0 away at Grimsby Town. The Seadogs had gone unbeaten throughout August, aside from the defeat against Premier League Aston Villa on penalties, only concedin...

August 2023 There was a feeling of better the devil you know as the draw was complete for the EFL Trophy Northern Section groups stages. Scarborough, who crashed out in the group stages last season, must once again battle with Coventry City and Mancheste...

Unlucky. One thing I've loved so far are my cup ding-dongs. Less so penalty shoot-outs! Focus on getting back into League Two now! Keep up the great story!

July 2023 Scarborough celebrating promotion back to the 3rd tier of English football by launching new home and away kits. The rise through the leagues has led to increased commercial interest in the East Coast club, who were delighted to announce in the...

May 2023 Mansfield Town and Colchester United both took a step towards the play-off final as they were victorious in their semi-final first legs on Saturday afternoon. Mansfield missed out on automatic promotion the final day of the season but secured a...

April 2023 Scarborough continued to make strides towards the title as they started April with another convincing 4-1 victory, this time Rochdale on the hands of a hammering from the already promoted side. Scarborough secured promotion last time out, but...

March 2023 March began with an impressive 3-0 victory against Solihull Moors in the league, the league leaders heaping more misery on the club currently sitting 23rd in the table with just 28 points. Scarborough opened the scoring at home in the 7th minu...

@HockeyBhoy Had lots of offers but while I'm looking good for promotion I want to see it out. I know there will come a time though when like Scully & Bancroft my head will be turned. Been linked with a few like West Ham and Newcastle in the media...

February 2023 February began with another new arrival as Scarborough sensational announced possibly the biggest coup in their recent history with the arrival of former Brazilian international David Luiz. The veteran centre back was available on a free, h...

Hope everyone is keeping safe/sane out there, and hope you're enjoying the story, just wish I could play more but still seem to be working all hours god sends (albeit from home), but no doubt this is an emotional release. When it's not stressful...

December 2022 In a game of limited chances, Scarborough eked out a 0-0 draw away against Plymouth Argyle. It was a day for the defenders as neither team managed to create any clear-cut opportunities, with Chukwuma going closest for Plymouth, while at the...

4-4 draw v Salford, hoping for a memorable cup tie, 5-5 or we riot! Great read as always :-)

November 2022 November began with a comfortable 2-0 win against Blyth Spartans in the FA Cup 1st Round on Tuesday evening. As expected, Scarborough made many changes to the starting XI for this clash against the Northern Premier Division side, noticeably...

October 2022 Scarborough began October heaping more misery on Newport County, the Welsh club finding themselves 22nd before the 2-0 defeat against the league leaders. On balance of play, Newport created more but they were far from clinical, managing only...

September 2022 Scarborough began September with an impressive 4-1 win away at Crawley after an extended 10-day break since their last game. The visitors came into this one refreshed after having an unscheduled break due to international call-ups, with no...

August 2022 August began with the draw for the group stages of the English Football League trophy, where each team will play 3 games with the top 2 teams progressing through to the second stage. The competition sees clubs from the lower tiers of league f...

July 2022 Scarborough began the season with a sensational 4-2 win away against Rotherham United in the League Cup first round in midweek. Scarborough boss Sie Barlow handed debuts to Modou Nyassi, Ezequiel Bancroft and Dimitri Sea for the clash against t...

Pre-Season (July 2022) The big news of pre-season was undoubtedly the fact that Scarborough Athletic had finally turned professional after securing promotion to League Two. The change in status means that they can now attract a better calibre of player,...

@hockeyBhoy Thanks, thought we'd blown it for a while, turns out Aldershot were the bottle boys. Just gutted I'm going to lose Kumwenda, the guy is an absolute phenom at this level.... May 2022 Few were surprised when Chesterfield and Aldersho...

April 2022 April began with a tough clash against Chesterfield, ironically the team that had just helped them gain top spot in the table, in the FA Trophy Quarter Final. The pair have been going head to head in a battle to secure promotion to League Two...

The FA Trophy target always makes me laugh, the expectations seem to be disproportionate in the lower leagues for that and the FA Cup. Sure first season I was expected something like FA Cup 1st or 2nd round, and I was in all qualifiers first with a thread...

March 2022 Scarborough were forced to come from behind to secure 3 points as they grabbed a vital win at home to Wrexham in the opening game of the month. Despite Scarborough having the better of the early play, 18th placed Wrexham took the lead on the h...

Looking forward to the battle to return to the league! Good luck!

February 2022 Scarborough began the month with a key victory against Woking to remain 2nd in the table, with a 2-0 win at the Kingfield Stadium. Woking were after points themselves, sitting just inside the play-off spots at kick off, but it was the visit...

January 2022 Scarborough began 2022 with a massive 2-0 victory away to Carlisle in the FA Cup 3rd Round on New Year’s Day. It took the visitors just 3 minutes to score their first goal of the year and give themselves the perfect start. James Traffo...

Fingers crossed, still hoping they see sense even if we don't go up! And may have just made some money to keep the board happy for a while (just about to post update, all will be revealed #cuprun)

December 2021 Scarborough began December with a massive 3 points as they came from behind to beat Notts County 2-1 at Meadow Lane. The Magpies were on level points with Scarborough coming into the game, and still have a game in hand on the visitors as th...

November 2021 Scarborough began November with their 3rd successive draw in an extremely poor performance away to AFC Fylde. The visitors managed just 2 shots in the entire game, with only one of those on target. The home side thought they’d nicked...

October 2021 Scarborough started October with an impressive 2-0 win over newly relegated Exeter City. The home side started well, looking the better of the two sides, and made that advantage count in the 27th minute. The ball was fed out to Arlott-John,...

September 2021 Scarborough began the month with only their second win of the season as they crushed Dagenham & Redbridge 5-1 away from home. There was a space on the bench for new arrival Chuk Barnabas, who joined on loan for the season from Hull Cit...
