    11 or 12th

    Their season ticket scheme is a joke, its basically asking for fans because thry have hardly any.

    Inverness take 200 to away games and Gretna will probably take 300-500 to fir park, it has the potential to be the worst fixture in the history of the SPL.

    Most of there players were released from SPL and Div1 clubs because they wern't good enough, now they have got older i can hardly see them being any better than they were.

    Relegation or a big Dog fight to the end of the season for gretna.

    Absolutely spot on. And that's at best? Imagine an Inverness v Gretna nothing game mid-week, lets say a cold, wet Wednesday in December at Fir Park. There will be more people on the benches than in the stands?

    Gretna will bring absolutely nothing to the SPL. It's a fairy tale for them and no one else, as no-one else will benefit from them being there, and it's a fairy tale that will hopefully be brought to an abrupt end?

    I think Gretna will fight a relegation battle from day one.

    just shows how poor scottish football is when a team from nowhere can get in 2 the top flight in 3 seasons...if only more owners/directors would put their cash in 2 clubs like Brooks Mileson did with gretna ,maybe our league would b a bit more competitive....they deserve 2 b in the spl only because they showed ambition..unlike the rest who r happy with the gate receipts from the big 2...if inverness can hold their own,a team that started with older players who couldnt get a game 4 other teams,y cant gretna?

    Like i've always said from 2 seasons ago, Gretna to be crowned SPL Champions for season 2007/08. Mark my words. I dont care much for scottish football but they have acheived their dream and they deserve to be where they are regardless. They have played each game and got there.

    Hopefully they'll at least try & play football, not stick everyone behind the ball or just kick the opposition up in the air.

    At the start of last season I would've been happy if you'd said it was the Pars going down but Stephen Kenny changed things around & had them playing well.

    Gretna have got where they are fairly & deserve their chance. Can't see it lasting though.
