As a Carlisle fan who was there for the Jimmy Glass goal I don’t take any pleasure in the downfall of Scarborough. The celebrations were for Carlisle staying up, not Scarborough going down. Scarborough was a great place to visit and I’d love an away day there as an adult !
Great to relive parts of the history of Scarborough FC. As I lifelong Nottingham Forest fan I remember the opening day of the 1987/1988 season vividly . Seeing the images of the Wolves fan who fell through the roof of the stand and the crowd trouble before the match on the 10 o clock news bulletin was a sign of the times. I also remember fondly the cup win against Chelsea. I wish the new phoenix club well and hopefully they can reclaim a place in the EFL once more and give the town a club to be proud of again .
The old stadium does live on. Featherstone Rovers Rugby League bought two of the stands from the McCain stadium and they remain at Post Office Road to this day. Really good video, took me back to an era when football just seemed a bit more fun and good to see where Neil Warnock got his management introduction
Unfortunately I’m limited music wise. RUclips now has a copyright tool that makes it difficult to use any sort of music either chart wise or stock (unless you buy the rights to it - which I simply can’t afford) The music used in my videos is actually all written and performed by my father. I understand your point and I feel the same way, but I am unfortunately very cautious with music used and don’t have hundreds of pounds to spend on music. Hope you enjoyed regardless! 👍
The Chairman’s’ proud speech with its veiled warning against misbehaving- followed by the hooligan breaking the roof is comedy gold but the demise was tragedy & thank the gods , the club & community have succeeded in getting Hope back in the picture. Your video made yesterday a much better day . Thankyou 😁👍
I'm here because I'm playing in Championship Manager 2007 with Scarborough. Despite a 10 point deduction I got promoted in the playoffs and am now in League one. Reputation obsucure doesn't want to change so it's hard to get better players for next promotion. Glad the club hasn't been abandoned. Love to the fans of the club.
Brilliant documentary for any football fan - just goes to show the inequality and injustice of the distribution of wealth throughout the British game and how Premiership money is obscene when provincial community clubs like Scarborough struggle.
Great Video, thanks for sharing. I was there for so many of those great times, winning promotion to the Football League and the open top bus tour. I spent the first season as a ballboy and learnt some great swear words from a young fiery Neil Warnock. Beating Chelsea in the league cup, losing to them in the FA Cup and i was on the pitch as our fate was sealed by Jimmy Glass. I moved away in 2001 and got to the odd away game down south in the Conference up til relegation to Conference North and ultimately our demise. Now i'm enjoyong taking my kids to watch Scarborough Athletic at places like Brackley, Hereford, Oxford City, Kidderminster and Leamington in NLN Up the Boro! 🌊🐶's
Great to watch thanks. I was there at the Wolves game and there when we got relegated by the Jimmy Glass goal. I remember going back to my nan's where we holidayed every year and crying like a baby as a 17 year old. Watching Boro was my childhood but I didn't realise just how successful they were in the 70s. My dad now talks about his memories of that time watching with his dad. Only football can stir these emotions and memories.
Great video. The Scarborough story is a brilliant roller coaster of a journey. I visited with Walsall on a Tuesday night and there was a great atmosphere under the lights. I was gutted when they got relegated out of the football in such a cruel way.
as someone who lives in Scarborough and have watched their phoenix club it feels good someone acknowledges the existence of this club and it's history, I am glad we are getting somewhere and could be back in the football league soon
Great memories of going to Highfield Road and getting spanked by a Peter Ndlovu masterclass I seem to remember. Think it would have been the Rumbelows Cup back in the early 90s
Brilliant film mate. Very well written and put together. I remember seeing the McCain stadium from the outside during family hols up there in Scarborough in the very late 80s. As a Stevenage fan, who trekked across England to watch 'Conference' games in the mid-late-90s, I can appreciate the non-league scene and small-ground-mentality (and optimism). I'm glad to see SAFC floating back up the leagues. It's encouraging for smaller clubs in these days of unprecedented financial pressure. I knew Scarborough's story but not in the detail you provided so as a football 'neutral' but a football fan, this was interesting. Thank you.
Fantastic video and story 👏 👌 emotional to say the least . One question tho about the ground ( Mcain stadium) if their was a covenant on the ground for sports only , why is it now a supermarket and housing built on it . Presumably by the look the council have hung the club out to dry in their hour of need .
One would assume so, but I tried to refrain from the what’s and whys and potentially dodgy situations…and just crack on with the story of the club. although I agree it is a crying shame that the ground is now a supermarket when that could have saved the club in the first place.
As a somehow interested bystander, kept here by nothing more than your production skills, I'd just like to add my disgust. The ripping up of supposedly watertight legal covenants is not something of which this country can be proud. As far as I recall, the riding roughshod over the wishes of the original civic minded grant of the land for the benefit of the community in perpetuity has been slyly reinterpreted in favour of the supposed similar benefit that a foodstore apparently would provide. It reminds me of that awful day I decided on a whim to GoogleMaps my school playing fields. Don't go back! Where I'd scored my best, most important try in a crucial game... is now a Tesco's hypermarket.
Im a Blackpool fan, i was gutted to see Scarborough go out of business. A true supporters club. I wish you well and look forward to seeing you in league two one day soon.
I used to go to Saltergate as a youth in the 90s, it was great, a total dump for sure but even then it was a rare slice of old school football viewing. In around 2000 changes were made to the terraces which for me destroyed the authenticity it had just a few years earlier, the Compton Street terrace was abandoned (previous to this the Spion Kop and Compton Street terraces were accessible to anyone coming in through the Kop turnstiles on Saltergate, general practice was to migrate from Compton Street in the 1st half to the Kop in the 2nd half to get as close as possible to the on pitch action!), later the Compton Street terrace was partially filled in and the back portion was then seated. Such a shame that the ground had to be mutilated prior to it being abandoned, but this was evidently to satisfy safety requirements. This is why ultimately I am happy that Chesterfield moved to the B2Net / Proact / Technique / SMH Group Stadium, it's a really nice ground with good facilities and Saltergate by then was the shadow of it's former self.
This has to be the most heartbreaking thing I saw as a child in football, The Scarborough fans celebrating on the pitch and 4 minutes later they all looked destroyed as the team has been relegated. People remember the moment for the Jimmy Glass goal. I remember the fans 😢
I worked for Pindar Print from 1989 to 1991. I went to watch Scarborough on an evening match and Vinnie Jones was playing. As a Wolves fan, from birth, I was disgraced by our fans behaviour at Scarborough. I think the guy who fell through the roof was from Cannock, my Birth town. Shocking behaviour. I loved my time in Scarborough. A wonderful, friendly town. I was blessed.
As a young boy growing up in scarborough always at athletic ground on home games, dreaming one day putting that red shirt on. Well I ended up at Bishop Auckland in Northern league, eventually with ringwood United and then Poole Town Hampshire league and wessex league. I have returned home as I am now in my 60s and regret never having the chance of putting on that red shirt. Always at Flamingo land stadium but as a supporter. Dress of playing have gone but dreams of league status always lives.
Scarborough- wonderful town. When they arrived in the football league they were a great side. Was it Richards or Richardson? Quality player! Big Neil Warnock amazing servant to the game. I was chuffed when my club Carlisle United beat Scarborough in the FA cup in late 1988. I am really sorry they were relegated. We last played them February 2005. Great place to visit but excellent for an away game.
I think Scarborough never recovered after that final day heartbreak when Jimmy Glass scored. Its something I could never get over if I was a Scarborough fan.
According to newspaper articles from a couple of days after the incident he was 23 year old Andrew Charlesworth and he suffered a broken collar bone, dislocated elbow, neck injuries and a broken kneecap. He apparently discharged himself from hospital later on the day of the match in order to return to Wolverhampton on a supporter's coach. Watching the footage of him falling from that height onto concrete made me think he must have been a goner, but thankfully he wasn't.
Scarborough council should feel ashamed for calling in that debt and destroying a club as old as boro. 😢 Many great memories, with luck and hard work the boro are slowly rising again. Come on Scarborough athletic 😊
Can’t believe it’s 25 years since that Jimmy Glass goal 😮 man alive I’d have thought 15 years max. Obviously remember the Wolves game as the late 80’s, that was massive news at the time with the image of matey falling through the roof 😂 Like old bill come down hard on Wolves because of their adventures in the lower leagues back then, operation growth(get rid of Wolverhampton troublesome hooligans) probably collapsed in court like all the other undercover football stings of that era.
It's a shame that Scarborough Town weren't mentioned as the Scarborough FC under 19s and Centre of excellence continued under that name,. with an association with Sheffield United. An Adult team being formed later.

Outstanding work. This has to be one of the best videos I've ever seen on Scarborough Fc and their history.
Thankyou very much! 4 weeks it has taken to get everything (I hope) right and do justice to a wonderful club with wonderful fans.
I was there on the pitch on that final day. Still hurts to watch it and still get the lump in the throat.
Not surprised. I have followed Scarborough since I was a young lad (Sheffield United fan by trade) and is emotional to watch for even me.
The old stadium does live on. Featherstone Rovers Rugby League bought two of the stands from the McCain stadium and they remain at Post Office Road to this day. Really good video, took me back to an era when football just seemed a bit more fun and good to see where Neil Warnock got his management introduction
Heartbreaking for a club and the fans, wishing all the best for Scarborough Athletic FC.
This video is so so great but please maybe switch up the music a little more and have it lower in the mix?
Unfortunately I’m limited music wise. RUclips now has a copyright tool that makes it difficult to use any sort of music either chart wise or stock (unless you buy the rights to it - which I simply can’t afford)
The music used in my videos is actually all written and performed by my father. I understand your point and I feel the same way, but I am unfortunately very cautious with music used and don’t have hundreds of pounds to spend on music.
Hope you enjoyed regardless! 👍
I find the music lovely..it fits the melancholic nature of the production perfectly..I don't find it too loud personally
Very good video but some constructive advice: playing the same music for 25 minutes is excessive and irritating.
The Chairman’s’ proud speech with its veiled warning against misbehaving- followed by the hooligan breaking the roof is comedy gold but the demise was tragedy & thank the gods , the club & community have succeeded in getting Hope back in the picture.

Other than the music getting a bit repetitive, the production of this was very good.

Thanks Nick! 👍 glad you enjoyed
that soccer saturday broadcast is heartbreaking, if carlisle hadn’t been granted an emergency loan we’d still be at the theatre of chips💔
Very sad indeed. But the new club is building again!
@@tourobscureyep i was at the game today, our form isn’t great at the moment but we’re slowly building, being back in the efl is the dream🤞

That’s the dream! Doubt it though! Thanks for watching
Scarborough- wonderful town. When they arrived in the football league they were a great side.
Was it Richards or Richardson? Quality player!
Big Neil Warnock amazing servant to the game.
I was chuffed when my club Carlisle United beat Scarborough in the FA cup in late 1988.
I am really sorry they were relegated. We last played them February 2005. Great place to visit but excellent for an away game.
Had some good days out there 😊
If memory serves me right, didn’t Burnley nearly fall out of the football league the same season Scarborough were promoted?
Yep 1987 we survived by beating orient on the last day of the season 👍👌
I think Scarborough never recovered after that final day heartbreak when Jimmy Glass scored. Its something I could never get over if I was a Scarborough fan.
Yeah that seemed to be a hammer blow for the club. they’re on the rise now though.
11:15 I don't often agree with Neil Warnock, but he was correct here. Hopefully scenes like these stay consigned to the history books.
My first game was Scarborough 1988. We also went in 2005 for pre-season
19:51 If I remember rightly, Scarborough should have had a penalty near the end of that tie.
Yeah, Gallas Handball, blatant as. But that was the way our luck was by that stage of our downfall.
Jesus that lad going through the roof
Jumping up and down on the roof, he asked for it.
According to newspaper articles from a couple of days after the incident he was 23 year old Andrew Charlesworth and he suffered a broken collar bone, dislocated elbow, neck injuries and a broken kneecap. He apparently discharged himself from hospital later on the day of the match in order to return to Wolverhampton on a supporter's coach. Watching the footage of him falling from that height onto concrete made me think he must have been a goner, but thankfully he wasn't.
If he hadn't fallen through there was Wolves fans queing up to follow him
Scarborough council should feel ashamed for calling in that debt and destroying a club as old as boro. 😢 Many great memories, with luck and hard work the boro are slowly rising again. Come on Scarborough athletic 😊

A real shame though that Scarborough aren't around in the football league.
i have found my kindred
Fantastic video but didn't need the piano playing all the time.
these days you would never get red playing against orange (gold) even tho we have better TVs!
My thoughts exactly whilst I was editing this footage together!
👍👍
Could only manage 6 minutes of that god awful music. Ruined a good video.
They were Fair.
That music is making my ears bleed.
I have a link to the 10 hour version of the song if you want? 😊
@@tourobscure lol, no thanks! Great video except for the music haha
Hate modern football and what money has done to the working man's game
What awful music. Just like the football grounds at the time.
At least they had soul, Burgess face, unlike the sterile libraries that exist today !
You reckon ehh?? 🙄🙄
