Boro Fans Look Smart For New Start
7th August, 2007
The historic first competitive match of new club Scarborough Athletic FC kicks off at 3pm on Saturday 11th August away at Teversal.
This will be the first league game since the liquidation of Scarborough FC and the foundation of Scarborough Athletic FC in the summer.
To mark the occasion the board of Seadog Trust, the supporters' organisation that owns and operates Scarborough Athletic FC, is encouraging all fans to acknowledge that they are the owners of the club by dressing as businessmen.
Club and Trust Chair Simon Cope states: "All Trust members are equal joint owners of the football club, and as such we want to make a statement to the wider football world as well as having some fun in the process."
Scarborough Athletic FC is aiming to do the Northern Counties East League Division One proud this season.
Cope added: "We are looking for a big Boro turnout in this, the first league match of Scarborough Athletic FC.
"The support which we have received in the course of the pre-season campaign has been superb and we hope that the football fans in Scarborough will get behind their team and cheer them on to early successes.
"We also hope that as many fans as possible will join in the fun by coming in fancy dress as businessmen.
"There should be a real party atmosphere at Teversal and we want everyone to get involved."
