A sad day for football. They lost thier league status and are now officially extinct.

why is it sad? As far as I know, it's one of those clubs that were bought by a rich guy so they could "buy" succes. Isn't that what most people hate about football nowadays?

Well it is a nice town with nice people, they had a great ride to the top and whilst it was based on money it is sad to see them go totally bust.

The guy at Gretna is or was seriously ill in hospital so can't sign any money over. Felt bad for them and tbh im shocked clubs could not get together to find some of the wages they needed.

Maybe he should have had something in place to stop this kind of thing.
