In 1907 the club was separated into two teams, known as ''Gala Fairydean'' and ''Gala Rovers''.〔 The first Gala Rovers was the reserve team of Gala Fairydean.〔 Both clubs ceased operations in 1914 due to the outbreak of the First World War and the consequent loss of male population in Galashiels.〔 Gala Fairydean resumed in 1919, after the war had ended, and was a founder member of the East of Scotland Football League in 1923. Gala Rovers were only reformed in 1947 and joined the Border Amateur League. Although the two clubs were separate, they were closely linked through operations such as a joint lottery. Although Gala Fairydean were a semi-professional club and needed funds to pay players, Gala Rovers were amateur and could save some of the funds generated. This helped to fund construction of the 1960s main stand at Netherdale. Gala Fairydean applied to join the Scottish Football League in 1966, 1994, 2000 and 2002, but were unsuccessful on each occasion. The two clubs merged to form Gala Fairydean Rovers FC in 2013. Coincidentally, the club was also admitted into the new Lowland Football League in 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gala Fairydean Rovers F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
