Hopefully a centre half.

Flights to tallin in Estonia are better priced then jump on the ferry, its only 2hrs 30 mins direct to Helsinki.

I agree, but im cutting him some slack due to his limited game time, if we are starting to get more cross balls into the area as we saw last Thursday, then he might be the player we need, time will tell

Thats hideous, but the basic concept is good, no open corners, fans close to the pitch etc

100% this, hes brutal, we have enough dross alleged strikers on the books already with Hendry and Stamatelopoulos, we dont need any more.

Thats exactly what should have been done, the simplest, quickest an cheapest option to get the seats compliant. But as i said there does not seem to have been much thought put into the whole process, the club knew since probably March that a european place was likely

I can only go on what i was told, but it seems blatantly obvious that nobody actually sat in one of them in situ or considered the dificulties of getting up and out of the way to let people get in and out of the rows which is the main issue with them, before the order was placed. They are not fit for purpose, but as i said earlier they are there to stay until we move to a new stadium or the POD is rebuilt. The club have dropped the ball with this fiasco and created a bigger issue which will not be resolved easily or quickly.

I noticed on Thursday night that the bucket seats in the lower section to the left of us have been replaced, so maybe there was not time to finish t hem all, but it looks like they are all being replaced.

Thats Lowry announced officially on the club whstsapp channel https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2026/07/25/alex-lowry-arrives-on-loan-from-wycombe-wanderers/

The old seats and the bucket seats were not UEFA compliant, as advised by Brian Caldwell when he called me in response to my email. The old seat only had a 4cm back rail UEFA rules call for seating with at least a 32cm back. So thats why both sets of seats were replaced. The comfy padded seats in the members / directors area are ok and will not be replaced. And as has previously been discussed the various limitations of the POD as it stands meant that the seating we got was the only available option. So short of major remodelling of the POD the new seats are here to stay until such times as we either move to a new stadium or rebuild the POD.

Its the start of the season we will be in draw mode for a few weeks.

Im Glad ive got an aisle seat, at least it gives me somewhere to go when people want in or out of the row, being in the middle must be a nightmare. Oh and dont lean on or grab the seat back for support, as it wont hold as i nearly found out to my cost last night 😂

Theres a reason he was put out on loan last season as he was not up to the style JBA had us playing, he subsequently could not get any signigicant game time at Raith, hes just not that good, especially at premiership level

Me too, slow pace, slow reactions i was very surprised he started ahead of longelo.

The sums of money mentioned to me would back up that statement.
