Super_Ally 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Have they made any signings that are likely to allow them to make a fight of staying up? Or did they manage to poach enough SPL standard players in previous seasons as I know they managed to out-compete some bigger sides in terms of what they could pay for/to players? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 They've signed 2 players I think. Funny you should mention Gretna cause I know a copper who works in Gretna and has an interest in the football club. He says there's massive in-house fighting regarding the managers job. Davie Irons and someone called Mick Wadsworth don't get on but the chain smoking owner (cannae mind his name) isn't sacking Wadsworth because he was appointed by the owner. I stuck £20 on them to go down this season at 3/1. They'll get pumped every week! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,670 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 They have signed a Uruguyan player who seems to be quite good, but I still think they will struggle near the foot of the SPL this season 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stuck �£20 on them to go down this season at 3/1. They'll get pumped every week! Thought it had been quiet down Gretna way. You thought they'd be looking to bring in a few players to bolster their squad. Could be a long season for Gretna fans. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 827 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 There down fall could be playing at Fir Park every week when they are use to a ground that holds about 23. They will probably freeze infront of full houses. I tip Dundee Utd to get away from the bottom 4 this season so it will be between Gretna, St Mirren and then Caley, Motherwell and Falkirk will be above that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
