Applications To Join Scottish Football League
Gala Fairydean applied to join the Scottish Football League in 1966, 1994, 2000 and 2002 when various vacancies opened up membership slots, but were unsuccessful on each occasion, the last time losing out to Gretna after the bankruptcy of Airdrieonians. Due to Gretna's liquidation on 3 June 2008, they were thought to be applicants for the SFL however for some reason there was no formal application from Gala Fairydean to enter the SFL and the place subsequently went to Annan Athletic, so Gala remained in the East of Scotland League.
Despite recent rumours of some clubs currently in the Scottish Football League being on the verge of administration and the possibility of League places becoming available in the near future there has been no announcement from Gala Fairydean as to their future intentions or ability to submit an application should the opportunity arise.

“There is nothing intrinsically better about a child who happily bounces off to school the first day and a child who is wary, watchful, and takes a longer time to separate from his parents and join the group. Neither one nor the other is smarter, better adjusted, or destined for a better life.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“Better wear out shoes than sheets.”
—18th-century Scottish proverb, collected in J. Kelly, Complete Collection of Scottish Proverbs (1721)
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
