Gretna Football Club 2008 is a Scottish football club based in the town of Gretna, Dumfries and Galloway. The club was formed in 2008, following the dissolution of the original Gretna Football Club due to financial difficulties.
The original Gretna FC had a meteoric rise from non-league football to the Scottish Premier League in just a few years, but this rapid ascent was unsustainable. The club's financial troubles led to administration and subsequent liquidation in 2008. To keep the spirit of football alive in the town, a group of local businessmen and supporters established a new club, Gretna FC 2008, which was accepted into the East of Scotland Football League.
The new club has since focused on sustainable growth and community involvement. It has made steady progress in the Scottish football pyramid, reaching the Lowland Football League, the fifth tier of Scottish football, in 2013. The club plays its home games at Raydale Park, the former home of the original Gretna FC.
Despite its relatively short history, Gretna FC 2008 has had its share of success. The club won the East of Scotland Football League in its first season and has since won several other lower league titles. The club's youth development program has also been successful, with several players progressing to professional football.
Gretna FC 2008's colours are black and white, the same as the original Gretna FC. The club's badge features a saltire, a nod to the Scottish flag, and two blackbirds, which are native to the area. The club's motto, "Perseverance Conquers All", reflects its determination to succeed despite the challenges it has faced.
Gretna FC 2008 is a testament to the resilience and passion of the Gretna community. Despite the demise of the original club, the town's love for football has endured. The club's focus on sustainability and community involvement ensures that it will continue to be a vital part of the local community for many years to come.
