Big Defeat For Scarborough Athletic....But They Are Still Funkadelic
New Scarborough Athletic FC boss Rudy Funk saw his new charges for the first time yesterday & will be under no illusions about the rebuilding task that awaits him.
The Seadogs crashed 5-0 away at local rivals Pickering Town in the Northern Counties East Premier.
It was a strange looking Boro line-up, mainly due to suspensions and last-minute transfers out but, whilst few would argue Pikes didn't deserve their win, the ad-hoc Boro team played with a great spirit and were desperately unlucky not to have notched at least two goals. The ref was a "homer" and a half & The Pikes were the beneficiaries of more than one dodgy decision which led to goals.
The Scarborough Athletic fans turned out in numbers and "four-folded" Pickering's normal Saturday attendance and they gave great support throughout the game. Many of them sported Rudy Funk moustaches! Seadog Blog is proud of 'em - they are one of the reasons Scarborough Athletic will continue to grow and prosper in the coming years.
The unofficial Scarborough Athletic fans forum Surfing Seadog can often be a volatile site to visit after a Boro defeat as disappointed fans are prone to venting their spleens in no uncertain manner, but last night (apart from a couple of poisonous little trolls) it was an oasis of calm reasoning by the majority as they look to a bright & funky future.
Actually the trolls provided (although they didn't mean to) a little bit of light relief to the proceedings. I don't think you have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce their background & Seadog Blog actually thinks he knows who at least two of these trolls could be but will keep his thoughts on that to himself.
Whatever these little worms post it will not change a thing, they are utterly impotent in their small mindedness and Seadog Blog knows the Funky Army will continue to march on and on, Back2Boro and up the footballing pyramid.
I will never, EVER lend my support to the trolls club. Never. Under no circumstances.
With that off his chest, Seadog Blog looks forward to Tuesday night when Scarborough Athletic host the lads from Dunswell - Hall Road Rangers FC - in the 4th round of the NCEL League Cup. This competition is now the Seadogs last remaining chance of silver & hopefully we can rise to the occasion and progress through to the semi-final stages.

Funky Times Ahead For Scarborough Athletic FC
Yesterday's worst-kept NCEL secret was finally revealed yesterday tea-time when it was announced that the successor to Paul Olsson as Scarborough Athletic FC manager would be none other than Rudy Funk, late of Shirebrook Town & Rainworth Miners Welfare.
Rudy Funk Unveiled As Scarborough Athletic FC Manager
And
Funk Leaves Shirebrook To Join Scarborough Athletic
Rudy is no stranger to The Seadogs and his Rainworth Miners Welfare team knocked us out of the NCEL Wilkingson Sword Trophy (0-1 aet) in only Boro's third ever competitive fixture. The two clubs were both promoted together in 2008/09 (Scarborough Athletic as Champs, Rainworth MW as runners up) and the following season Rainworth finished runners-up to Bridlington Town and took the promotion spot that Brid didn't want.
Mr Funk did very well with The 'Wrens' gaining three promotions in all with them. More recently he has helped steady a very wobbly Shirebrook Town and put them back on an even keel.
Seadog Blog warmly welcomes Rudy Funk to the Yorkshire Coast and wishes him yet another successful stint in the NCEL.

Scarborough Athletic v Pickering Town – Big North Yorkshire Derby!!
I say North Yorkshire derby, some might see it as a big Scarborough derby!
Tomorrow afternoon (3pm) Queensgate stages a Northern Counties East League Premier Division matchup between the Seadogs and the Pikes.
It would be an interesting fixture at any time but there is added resonance to this one as the Pikes are managed by former Scarborough Town manager Mitch Cook and many of his players also turned out for that, now dormant (I think), outfit.
There is sure to be an above average crowd for this game so come on down and witness what will surely be a real blood and thunder clash with lots of local pride at stake.
I have a sneak preview of the matchday programme front cover (as always an informative and colourful read) Click on the image to enlarge.

Pickering Town 1 - 2 Whitby Town

Rather unexpectedly I found myself at Mill Lane last night watching a pre-season friendly between these two local rivals.
The slope at Mill Lane never ceases to amaze me.
It is a nice ground though and the Pikes are a friendly bunch.
I lost count of the amount of ex-Scarborough FC players who now turn out for both these two teams.
Ex Scarborough Athletic midfielder Dave Thompson was also in the Pikes lineup and played the full 90.
Entertaining enough game, although I thought the £5 admission was a bit steep for this sort of game.
