Scarborough started the season well and finished ninth in the newly formed fourteen-club Third Division with ten wins and fourteen defeats. However, attendances at the McCain Stadium were poor; with only four of their fourteen home matches attracting crowds of over 1,000. Richmond disbanded the club after just one season citing a lack of local interest.
