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.

“In another year I’ll have enough money saved. Then I’m gonna go back to my hometown in Oregon and I’m gonna build a house for my mother and myself. And join the country club and take up golf. And I’ll meet the proper man with the proper position. And I’ll make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I’ll be happy, because when you’re proper, you’re safe.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)

Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
