Just proves that you cant build a club up as a house of cards based on nothing but money as a millionaire's plaything

The ailing club are now in the hands of an administrator and need £30,000 for Saturday's visit to Aberdeen.


"We need emergency funding for wages, an overnight stay and transport," said administrator David Elliot. "At the moment I don't have it."
The SPL is unwilling to release a cash advance unless Gretna can prove themselves a viable proposition.

I feel sorry for all the fans who were there in the old days, happily supporting the club in non-league football before Mileson turned up and used them as his ego-driven plaything. Everybody else can f*** off.

If they do go bust, then the league place created should go to Annan Athletic, who should have got it on footballing and historic grounds when Gretna were given it solely because the SFL wet their knickers at the thought of Mileson's money.

Forgive my ignorance, but where's the guy who provided them with all their money gone?

Illness, therefore stopped their funds coming in.

It was a cliched dream too far really.
