I could be wrong but did Scarborough go out of business and then not reform?

Maybe they have and i just haven't heard of them as a new club. :ayatollah:

Thames AFC played in the league in the early 30's then went out of business and were not reformed. I think City recorded their record League win against them - something like 11-1

Scarborough definatley went out of business completely. The Mcain Stadium is now demolished.

A new team has reformed under the name Scarborough Athletic, who play in the Bridlington league ( below Merthyr standard), and actually play their home games 17 miles away in Filey.

Somebody mentined Aberdare Athletic , Bradford PA, Newport County and I know there are a few others.

If Glasgow Rangers can go ( they had 38,000 last night, but the crowd was nearer 48,000 unofficially) , anyone can these days.

In my time ( going back a while!), Bradford Park Avenue, Third Lanark, Accrington Stanley, and Newport County. But I think that they all came back in one form or another. Just shows the staying power of football clubs, and their fans.
