We were in the Andy Payton suite for the Hamilton home game earlier in the season. It is fantastic you get a 4 course lunch and all the booze you can drink until 6 o clock (excluding match time). This includes half time refreshments. They even made me a special dairy free dinner at short notice (like on the day). This starts about 1200 and they chuck you out at 6. £140 each though and 2 people wouldn't be a problem.

And nor does the new statement mention maximising attendances!

there is also the bit at the bottom that says Fans are also reminded that the club released the following statement on October 20th covering a great deal of these issues Well let's have a look at what was said then. (just a snippet) Our priority for reforms will be behind those fundamental and substantial measures that stand a chance of arresting the decline in average attendances, commercial performance and sporting achievement at a club and national team level. Our number one priority would be the introduction of a substantial ‘winter-break’ and a Spring/early Summer start to the football calendar. The commercial, practical and cultural advantages of this we believe are compelling. We also support innovations around the timing of games throughout the week to secure maximum attendance, new audiences and commercial advantage. The mention of attendance quite alot. Well if this proposal goes ahead MFC directors your obectives set out in your statement on October 20th are doomed to fail. Thanks for the statement though.

Islam has a bigger following and we already have enough of them in this area to get us off to a good start attendance wise. Then the family of the supporters will come over later on and our attendance will increase greater. We can even make a killing with an arabic edition of the programme and claret and amber Burka.

See I personallly beleive Mr Doncaster wants a bigger league but he has to sell this iidea because it is his job. I have heard him speak during the consulation process (i mean the 6 clubs not really a consultation proces) and he was pretty positive towards the idea of a bigger league. I liken him to a Lib Dem politician trying to sell a hike in tuition fees. He is basically the puppet of the Old Firm like the other 4 clubs in this process.

Bill Leckie's view Don't know if it has been posted before but the man talks sense.

And that isn't even mentioning the catastrophe of relegation.

Aye how dare they expect something in return for the hundreds of pounds they shell out every year.

I'm sure Blackman scored a peach against St Mirren and that was after the St Johnstone game.

We as a club are spineless and lay down to the old firm and now it seems the SFA and anyone else that pisses all over us with the only exception being Cardiff. Anyone remember the 5% ticket levy fiasco? Time the rest of Scottish football resigned, set up our own league and invited the Old Firm on the terms of the rest of Scottish Football. Fuck them they actually need us more than we need them and the sooner we and the rest of the spineless teams in the SPL realised this the better.

It's January!! Don't you realise everyone is bloody skint

I agree with you to the bit about giving teams more chance. Say we beat Rangers or Celtic 1-0 at Fir Park. There is a good chance we will lose by more than 1 goal at their grounds. In my opinion you have more chance in a one off match.

Not naive but 100% correct

Let's hope there are a couple of turkeys out there who won't vote for Christmas.

That pretty much sums it up.

Never the worst captain either!

He can only go if someone wants to buy him. We can't just get rid of a player with a year left on his contract.

John Barnes "Motherwell have qualified for Europe in each of the last 2 seasons so there is no pressure there then (giggle) in trying to get Motherwell to qualify for Europe for a 3rd consecutive year?" Another example of the pish journalism that this country has become used to.

The jury is out so let's see what happens. One thing is for sure he will get my support and time to have a damn good stab at making Motherwell a success.

Ans some of the displays in the Malpas era. Can anyone remember the 4-1 humping at home to Inverness. Now that was gutless.

If he wins the double then..........................

100% behind him.

Even if he got them relegated big fucking deal. He took a job on and made mistakes. Hopefully he will learn form those mistakes. You seem pretty certain that he is going to fuck up because of a spell he had a club that you probably know nothing about in a league you probably know nothing about. He deserves a chance at least ffs. Who were you expecting ?

Sitting 3 seats down from Derek Weir apparently.

I actually give up with some Motherwell fans. They think they know better than the people responsible for making the bloody decisions. I would rather trust Boyle and the rest of the board than some of the halfwits on here.
