That's a nice 'get it up ye, Dickie'.

Heavy industry 🤝 Fitba stadiums I can see you drawing up your concept designs for the following: The Ravenscraig Excelsior Bamrack Park The JDs (Steelworks) Stadium Bob Park Park The Riku Danzakibowl Lunchtime is over. I should get back to work.

You're right about the potential havoc - although most significant developments piss people and organisations off - but these issues aren't insurmountable if the proposal is properly consulted on and the right application for planning permission submitted. In simple planning terms, any application of this type would be one that is considered in the context of local physical and visual impacts vs economic and community benefits. The benefits of the latter would have to materially outweigh the disbenefits of the former. I'm a planner. If the Club or WS want any guidance on this, they can have my time in return for a couple of free match day pints and pies. I've also just read Stephen's document on P&B. Hats off to him for taking the time to put it together.

Clarke hasn't selected certain players not because he wants the U21s to benefit, but because he is a fucking idiot.

Replacing the east and main stands would be my preference and this is an excellent mock-up. My only point would be that we don't own the land to the south of the main stand, so any replacement would have to be another part-width stand.

I see Douglas Dickie has fired some shots at The Well Society, noting that his position has become untenable due to him being unwilling to interview for his position on the Executive Board. It’s also interesting to note that he made not one mention of his recommendation to sell the Club to the lowest bidder in his detailed resignation statement. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2024/10/01/douglas-dickie-resigns-as-vice-chairman-and-director/

Scottish refs are and forever will be useless. Collum will talk a good game this season in terms of accountability, but VAR will only continue to expose how useless our officials are, and his apologies won’t materially change anything.

Tanser is a prick. He targeted SOD twice yesterday and got his just reward.

That was some battle. Ox earned us the points today.

I was wrong. SOD starts.

Kaleta looked completely lost during his first outing for us a while ago. However, he seems to have come on leaps and bounds since then, so I fully expect him to continue his positive development when he starts against St Mirren.

Ticket info released. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2024/09/25/semi-final-ticket-update-2/ Good luck to those who buy a ticket in sections J1, I1-I6, and G7-G8. Those sections are directly below the south stand upper and the manky scumbags placed in there enjoy tossing missiles and spitting over the barriers onto the fans in the sections below. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/media/10148/blue-hampden-map.pdf

Reports suggest we’ve conducted a review of our training methods, which is fair enough, but it does give off vibes of marking your own homework.

That’s Vale returned to Blackburn for 10-12 weeks to recuperate from an injury. Our long term injury list surely still can’t be down to just bad luck the longer this list grows. Questions have to start being asked of our recruitment, medical, fitness and training policies.

Fantastic night to be a Well fan. They don’t come around often, but nights like that are what keep many of us chasing a dream.

Hats off to the Well Society, and Caldwell, for pounding the streets this week. More of this please.

The bookies have us as slight favourites at 6/5, so that'll also be my prediction, with Moses to come off the bench on 80 mins and score all 6.

Say what you like about the manager, but also perhaps consider that the lack of a pay at the gate option, the current CEO locking out kids, and a former police officer making it incredibly difficult and hostile for fan groups to attend without persecution have something to do with our fanbase stagnating.

It’s to be expected when the manager serves up crap, the CEO locks out kids, and the stadium facilities manager does his best to vilify fans.

It’s a shame Kettlewell isn’t as good at scoring points as some of us are on this forum.

Probably the same people who think zero wins in 15 games is a marker for managerial success.

7 weeks here. Enjoy the madness.

Correct. This fact gets in the way of the arguments put forward by some of the Kettlewell apologists. Enjoy your hiatus. I assume fatherhood has also arrived for you.
