This is our final.
By Stomp Admin April 27 2008
Our final starts on Wednesday night, there is no other way to look at the two matches coming up for the Diamonds and we deserve to be here. Second in the league six points clear of our nearest rivals a goal difference of + 21. Wednesday night is probably the most important match of the last five or six years and if you can't be a supporter during these matches you don't deserve to be a Diamond.

It's time for the bickering to come to a halt, it's time for you to decide what's more important your own ego or the success of this club. If this upsets you then I don't give two monkeys because as the people who will be getting upset about this always use as their defence, it's all about opinion and this is mine.
The Gretna saga is undecided but in my mind and if the stories are true, they are relegated and won't be given a position in the first division that means we may not have to play second round of final matches. Which means Raith away and home over the next week is our finals.
With all this in mind Kenny Black choose to play a weak side against Ayr United and against a full Ayr United team we walked away with a 2 - 1 win, some of the lads in the team were quite impressive and made me think our future could be brighter than many would lead youto believe.
So lets do it, lets get ourselves back in to a division where we are playing matches against Morton, Dunfermline, St Johntone, Partick Thistle, Dundee, Queen of the South, Livingston and hope that Alloa relegate Clyde.

I echo the sentiments expressed but would take issue with the claim that it is probably our biggest match in the last 5 or 6 years; last year's play-offs were at least as important and, of course, the matches where we gained promotion then clinched the league title 4 years ago were bigger I would say.

I may be wrong but I would think the context in which "The Stomp" is coming from is due to the club's current status i.e. it may be the difference between part time/full time football next season.

Just out of curiosity, if Gretna's ground was considered OK for the SFL on the way up, how come it's not good enough on the way down? Or have they changed the rules (literally moved the goalposts) in the meantime?

Believe Gretna were given some time to make the necessary upgrades to their stadium. As these haven't been done and they have no money to do them they there stadium falls short of SFL standards which is why they may plummet by more than 1 division

With a bit of luck they'll plummet all divisions!

Fair comment, Upright, I hadn't thought of that.
