It's no secret in evo stik north circles that Scarborough have been really poor since the turn of the year leaving them a job on just to get the final play off spot where automatic looked nailed on pre New Year. It's been such a disappointment and ex manager Steve Kittrick has been questioned repeatedly and now he's paid the price.wivelgull wrote: ↑18 Mar 2019, 10:40 Scarborough lost at home AGAIN on Saturday, after which defeat their manager was sacked. Without a doubt they are the worst team I have seen this season, beating them 2-0 at home on New Year's Day (Att: 1318). They are now after our manager, it seems, though I doubt they'll be successful. Deeply hated by everyone, Scarborough FC are on the decline!!
I didn't go to the Whitby game but by all accounts it was a really embarrassing performance by the seadogs. Not good for a fierce local derby. I watched Scarborough away at Matlock a few weeks back in what was one of the worst games i've ever seen (0-0) at any level. I do worry that fans are getting ideas above their station too quickly however as this is first season in evo stik north after promotion last term and it's not as simple as just steamrollering all before you especially at a higher level.
I would have given Kittrick another season. It is what it is.

I think your assumption that Scarborough are deeply hated by everyone is way off the mark though Wivel. Perhaps a few miles up the A171 yes but they've always been well received by most clubs and fans and i'm sure fans of other clubs accept that an ex league club based in a large town is likely to have a bigger potential fanbase than the likes of Matlock and Buxton. It is what it is. :na:
As for the decline? More fans than Morecambe. More fans than just about every other club at that level bar South Shields. A new stadium. A new stand approved and being constructed. A functioning website and second to none commercial operations. Productive partnership with local council and businesses. On the verge of NLN despite only being formed 10 years ago through nothing more than sheer determination, hard work, dedication, fan engagement and efficient management on and off the field. Wow. That's some decline.
It's the likes of Whitby who will continue to spend their lives in the lower reaches of non league because they don't know how to achieve what Scarborough have.
Anyway, that's just a reply to Wivel. Obviously this isn't a Scarborough forum so apologies. Skip if offended. :Oops:
