The Scarborough Athletic Fanzine, 'Abandon Chip!', recently awarded AFC Emley as the 'Best Away Day of the Season' for the 2007/08 campaign.

Every away game Scarborough Athletic participated in was given an overall mark out of 100 for several different categories, such as the ground, weather, food etc.

AFC Emley, who the Seadogs beat 3-2 at the Welfare Ground on 15th September 2007, came out on top with a score of 80, beating everyone else to the title.

Fanzine editor Matt Lawson, who has produced the fanzine since April 2006, presented the award to the Emley captain before the league match between the two sides at Queensgate on 30th August.


Lawson, 21, said the following of the award: "It was a great pleasure to present the trophy to AFC Emley

"At Scarborough Athletic, we are extremely grateful for the warm welcome that our supporters receive at the majority of grounds we visit.

"It must be intimidating for clubs who have a more modest fanbase to have a couple of hundred Seadogs turn up, but we've been welcomed with open arms.

"We hope that away supporters feel as welcome at Queensgate when they visit."

Issue 11 of the fanzine is due out on October 14th at Boro's home game with Tadcaster Albion. Anyone wishing to purchase a copy can contact Matt at abandonchip@googlemail.com.
