History
Gala Fairydean Rovers was first formed in 1894. 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 in 2013. The club was admitted into the new Lowland Football League in 2013.
The team's iconic red and white striped jerseys are instantly recognizable on the pitch, and their home ground, Netherdale Stadium, is a fortress where they have achieved many memorable victories over the years.
Gala Fairydean has a strong sense of community and pride, with local supporters turning out in droves to cheer on their beloved team. The players are known for their skill, determination, and teamwork, making them a formidable force in the league.
With a history of success and a bright future ahead, Gala Fairydean continues to be a powerhouse in Great Britain soccer, captivating fans with their thrilling matches and unwavering dedication to the sport.
