I don't know much about what the Gretna fans are planning if everything goes tits up next week, but they are puting together contingency plans to keep the club playing in Gretna no matter what.

Does anyone know any more about this?

Who owns Raydale? if Gretna go belly up, then I would assume Raydale would be sold to pay creditors?

Surely Gretna should be required to join their geographically relevant league i.e. the SOSFL, and if they prove to be competitively and financially stable then attempt to move over? In the same way Annan, Dalbeattie and Threave did? I would have some concerns about direct EOSFL entry.

I know I'm usually a bit of a progressive voice, but if some kind of AFC Gretna are formed, is it really the best idea for them to plunge straight into the EOSL First Division - where their nearest opponents will be Hawick, and where crowds would possibly be lower than they'd get in SOSFL?

Maybe I'm just looking for a bit of certainty...... at the current time, there are rumours of Stirling Uni or Gretna joining, Whitehill leaving for the Juniors, or maybe its Spartans, any one of a host of clubs could be joining the SFL, Berwick Rangers reserves might be leaving, Peebles might be turning down promotion...... heaven knows what format the league will have come August 2nd......

Spartans are moving into La Liga HJ, Mickey and Sam are growing daft goatees as we speak. Squad rotation will be the order of the day, rumour has it that goal machine Derick Rodier will be returning to partner Cloudie up front.

We are the new Barca after all.

But you are right, an interesting summer in front of us.

Particularly for any progressive-minded fixture secretary trying to get his fixtures confirmed... :unsure:
