I think the bandwidth safe OOn.

Anyway whats the chances of Gretna making into the land of Rangers and Celtic???

[Osbourne One-Nil]

I hope they do and feel sure they will. How it would be sustainable though is beyond me as the population is only two thousand or something.

Well as the majority of my family live in Ipswich, I will, like OON, be keeping an eye on the fotunes of Ipswich...bring back John Wark I say, he could play til he is 80...actually isnt he?

Pssssst.....CC....Scottish football thread!

[Mondy]

Gretna haven't really strengthened their team this year. All players are still on the books, and at times last year, a few first division clubs, who'll they'll meet this year beat them.

Teams like St Johnstone, Dundee and dare i say it, their near neighbours Queen of the South (who have a huge fan base) might be thinking the same. Livingston too, with SPL experience.

Edit: Thanks OON for pinning it - doesn't feel so unjust now!

Ooops, yeah Livingston, go Livingston

[The PIT]

Oops Rangers Gretna Thrashing poor op as normal.

[Mondy]

If things stay the same, St.Mirren may well be top of the SPL for 24 hours

[The PIT]

LOL Dundee score again in there own net. Rangers Two Two Dundee UTD

Should they just promote Gretna now??? Winning six nil business as normal.

Perhaps a few more non league sides should try the Scottish league. Gretna's largest league defeats. Six Nil to Worksop Town and Six to Bradford Park Avenue. 1994/95 and 1999-2000

Ha, quite likely...the question you need to ask is...Paul Le Guen, one of the most saught after coaches in Europe and Rangers, one of the Top teams in Europe(at least a big name in Europe), cant beat Dundee United...they need to do something about their crap results against not so good teams if they have any chance of winning anythin this year. Dont think Gretna will be allowed in next year..i'm sure your stadium needs to be able to seat 10,000 minimum, dont know if Gretna have that already and if they could afford it in time if they got premoted...going by their score today they could waltz right through the league

Dunno about the Staduim size Inverness have a Max capacity of 7400 yet they were allowed in. Falkirk again less than 10,000.

Grenta for Europe after they win the prem title next season

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Inverness were forced to play at Aberdeen for a while weren't they? I think they might have been given special permission to play back in Inverness after it nearly bankrupted them. Quite why the Scottish league would insist on such a thing baffles me frankly as surely market forces dictate the size of a stadium. Looking after the old boys probably.

[yeahbabyyeah]

But there was a season where aberdeen were gonna get religated to the First division but they didnt cos the team that won the First Division, due to be promoted didnt have a big enough seating capacity...Gretna V's Real Madrid....hehehehehehe. that would be amazing...

FT: Hearts 2 Celtic 1

The capacity lower limit is 6,000 now, I think.

Brooks Mileson.

Plus the travelling support of the away teams, most SPL clubs take roughly 500-1000 away fans, Rangers and Celtic take anything from a few to several thousand, depending on the occasion.

What was the score on Saturday, then?
I don't care what cup; the cup of cocoa would do; last year was the first thing the Coos won in 73 years. It could be quite entertaining, though, entertaining Lazio in the middle of a stock car race track! P
