Reading the above couple of posts my views slightly different on a couple of things,
firstly, yes we’re a fan owned club but the society doesn’t run the club - that’s the job for the Motherwell board and if they got involved with everything folk on here wanted them to it would be bedlam and the club would suffer.
secondly, just because the board had a feasibility study done they don’t have to make it public. No doubt it involves costs for rebuilding Fir Park against building a new stadium but the board, in my opinion , should have to weigh up the pro’s and cons of that, look at financing both options (if both are still viable) and then arrange for the financing of both before they make any public statement on them. At that point I’d expect the Well society to then ask for input from the members - but not an immediate vote on what opinion to go forward with, more a soft survey on members preferred opinions and willingness to help financially if required, as I believe both the board and the society need to be in step with this or we could end up financially screwed.
The same thing goes for the seats, we’d need to know the costs involved not just in capacity reduction and financial layout to change them but for fan safety. I’d like for an independent safety risk check done which might advise removing them or stop selling hot beverages in the POD to mitigate the risks or something else entirely like removing seats to allow for extra walkways which would obviously reduce capacity as well.
