An interesting project has been bubbling away in the north of England.

Celtic nation are currently in Northern Division One (level 9) founded in 2005 and attracting a Scottish millionaire as their director who has targeted Conference football within 5 years.

They have a management team of Mick Wardsworth and Davie Irons would were instrumental in Gretna's meteoric rise.

They have signed Colin McMenamin, Willie Gibson and Andy Aitken all on full-time contracts.

They look like an interesting prospect, how long will it be before they arrive in the football league?

Gretna meteoric rise was down to cash,not skill.

Another millionaire playing at real life football manager.

Hope they fail Thumbs Up

A bit harsh, not every club that overspend (Hearts?) suceed.

The only reason that they failed was due to Brookson dying, who's to say that he couldn't build a sustainable club in the long term?

If you believe the story in the Guardian this week it's Glasgow Celtic behind all this in a rather convoluted attempt to enter the English pyramid.

Celtic Nation used to be known as Carlisle Gilford Park FC.

They do a nice programme, though. I've got the one from the home game v Darlington 1883 last season.

Well we won 2 Scottish Cups Laughing

Just another plaything doomed to fail, the guy behind it is 73.

They will never survive on gates of 40 and once the owner gets bored.

I watch them occasionally when I'm not at a Carlisle game, although there is next to no interest from people in Carlisle...plenty it seems from Celtic fans though now they are in the press a little.
