Kingsmills

You're right Andrew, it does.

So, Niculae's salary apart, what's the cause of this apparent mass unrest ?

Are they concerned about the aquifer or the long awaited prospect of Colin Hendryarriving as the new manager !

Best not go there !

So that's why the boys from Telford Street were always chasing after us !

Frustration

Aye, Eastgate was a much more interesting place a decade or three ago !

Tonight's game will be the club's 500th league fixture since joining the SFL.

Is zero a number ?

If not the Inertoto then the club should think about a "mini tour" of part of England fitting in a couple of matches at least against clubs playing in the Championship or better. The annual pre season training camp followed by the usual low calibre friendlies id patently failing to get the players up to speed for the begining of the season.

Right now, the near certainty of relegation is the least of their worries.

Compulsion

My mother's family originally came from Culloden Moor, long before there was any sort of development there. I recall as a child being taken to the Clootie Well there every first sunday in may known as "Clootie Well Day"" I don't know the origins but there seemed, to my young eyes at least, to be hundreds if not thousands, doing the same thing on the same day. The place was hoaching with many folk taking picnics and the like. Everyone tied a rag "cloot" to a the branches of trees near to the well presumably to bring luck or ward off some kind of evil. As I recall there was one particular tree in the area known "The Devil's Tree" where legend had it that if you ran round the trunk three times at midnight wilst naked Old Nick himself would apear.

Need

Poor

I suppose that Iron's move to Morton might be seen in a more noble light. Any compensation payable might just be enough to pay the players and other staff for a week or two. The players may well be able to survive for awhile without income givenwhat they are purportedly being paid but there will be office and other staff who will be relying on their pay to pay their rent or mortgage and to put food on their table.

Married

Administration might not help Gretna in their particular situation. It offers protection, or at least restbite, from creditors, but wont help the fact that there might be little or no income or resourses to pay day to day expenses.

My thought exactly. I bet his salary at Morton will be substantially less but at least he's likely to be paid it.

That's if they continue to exist at all.

I doubt if this is the end of this story but it may very well be the end for Gretna. It may be just a blip if Mileson recovers. If he doesn't and his son decides not to carry on with his father's pet project then I doubt if the club have resourses of their own to carry on until next month far less the end of the season.

Crown

They don't seem to get involved in many nil-nil draws. High scoring matches, even at a fairly high level seem to be a feature of womans' football generally.
