Will you be going to Raydale? Or where ever the hell they're playing next season.

I hopefully will since i've never been
DomDom
I'll be going to wherever it is they're playing, assuming we're still in the division.

No amount of cheating from the opposition will stop me going to watch my team.
Juan Sara
Due to always spending alot on away days I told myself I wasn't going to go to as many games but I think I will.
Fuctifano
I hope they do stay alive but are as weak as a newborn kitten.

I look forward to us dishing out some revenge for the dickings they gave us as their unsustainable squad moved up the leagues, a bit like being bullied at primary school then a few years later being bigger than the bully and kicking the shit out of him.

That would kill them. They're more likely to survive with successive relegations than having to groundshare with anyone.

Gretna Football Club: could be the only team to gain 3 promotions and 2 relegations in 4 seasons laugh.gif

I don't think that's one of the options it would be relegation to the first with a suitable ground -at the moment not Raydale and without money it won't be brought up to scratch.

Relegation to the Third with Raydale making the criteria if only just.

Third and the most likely-They complete their SPL fixtures and for the time being fold, who knows some interested people may get involved and relaunch them in some league.

Add a cup final and a European run ( laugh.gif ) to that list and you have to wonder why Rangers are complaining.

I have been to Raydale when their guest of honour was Bobby Robson. He was sitting on a garden chair on the grassy bit behind the goal the doesn't have a stand behind it laugh.gif

I was at Raydale a few seasons ago when we drew them in the CIS cup. I don't see why the ground isn't safe enough for First Divison football. It's hardly like it will be crammed to capacity each week, or indeed any week.
Toby Fair
I'm very keen to see them drop back through the divisions with the same haste in which they ascended them, but I don't think it'll happen, as I think survival in any form remains unlikely.
There would however be something satisfying about seeing them struggle due to the graceless way they behaved on the way up. Admittedly though, none of the personnel involved then will be associated with them for the downward trip.

Breeze block wall, 2 yards from touchline.

Recipe for disaster.

Canny wait.

They'll fold or be kicked out, Surely the SFL cant run the risk of the same fiasco at the end of next season or even at the end of the October Holidays!!!
