Guest Nufc4Life Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Finally confirmed they're done today. What a ride though, don't think anyone will forget the meteoric rise they had, what a story. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/g/gretna/7433470.stm And http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/g/gretna/7406153.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'm sad for them, but as you said, it's been a fabulous ride from the Unibond premeirship or whatever they were in to the top league in Scotland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Shame for the fans. Better to watch a low level team than to have no team at all. As a kid, my Scottish teams were Celtic and Third Lanark ......................... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid, my Scottish teams were Celtic and Third Lanark ......................... They have Queen of the south 10-15miles away...if they really want to watch lower league scottish football!! Was a great story dont forget they made the cup final and got into europe, but i dont feel sorry for anyone other than the fans and whoever has lost wages to them..

BlufPurdi Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Good, and you won't find many Scottish based football fans saddened. I'd like to liken their rise to that of Chelsea's, which no one respects or applauds at all. They bought players well beyond their means, they took no steps to try and establish themselves as a side that intends to stick around. They sat and sponged off an insanely daft man that essentially thought it would be cool to do something like this. Feels sorry for their fans, I really do. All ten of them. Real ones that is.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 You'd imagine they'd set up some sort of incarnation in the Northern League or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealios Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Didn't they used to play in the FA Cup? Seem to recall going to watch a Blyth Spartans match that was on Match of the Day in the early 90's, I think they either lost, or drew and then went out in the replay.

Yes, they used to be a part of the English Football League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
