There are no "small clubs" or "big clubs".

Club size is a myth perpetuated by obese perma-losers who have no prospects so need to draw consolation from the delusion that they support a "big club".

[callum-ayr]

Only teams that have dawned the dark door of the 4th tier of Scottish football or below need apply, seems to be some missing.

Greenock Morton and Queen of the South missing from the long list.  The correct answer is Stranraer though.

Gretna. An abomination funded by a chain smoking, llama loving fud from a town best left to doing shotgun weddings and discounted M&S underpants from the outlet village.

Better to be 'Wee' and in the top two than 'big' in the bottom two... right?

At least you’re admitting to being wee, regardless of position.

Ayr - don't know any teams with just two letters.

 Never won a trophy, recently been part-time, small fanbase, rarely been in the top flight. 

All of the clubs listed meet most of these criteria.

Gretna - are they the same team as Gretna 2008?  Must be if Rangers are surely.........

Went for Stranraer.   Place reminds me of Finport in Still game - deid full of old folk and neds.  Nothing going on but the ferries.  Arse end of the country.  Tinpot wee town and a support that makes East Fife look huge.

Size of club is quite a hard thing to measure objectively, but if we were to base it on a combination of fanbase & historical achievements then I would probably go for Cove as being the smallest.

If you are including former league champions Dumbarton on this list then it should probably have Queens Park on it too.  Also a bit strange to see Ayr & Airdrie on there too unless it is a wind-up.

 

edit - I just cast my vote and see Gretna in the lead.  I discounted them from consideration because they actually made it to the top flight(albeit barely managing to fulfil all their fixtures) & a Scottish cup final - something many of the other contenders have not achieved.

Gretna, they were an absolute nonentity who were catapulted up the leagues by a millionaire wanting to play fantasy football.  Cove are probably similar but at least they’ve put in a passable ground (mud bath aside). Brechin certainly the worst in recent years must have beaten an absolute Diddy squad to get up here.
