Gretna 2008

Lowland League West, Scotland

The original Gretna went from English non-league to the Scottish Premiership, a Scottish Cup final and Europe at absurd speed - then collapsed. Gretna 2008 is the replacement club, now in the fifth-tier Lowland League West. Recreate the fairy tale with one rule: build it sustainably enough that the club survives the ending.
