Is this your first ever season supporting Motherwell?

there is certainly a lot of deluded opinions, ignoring most of the facts going into these euro games every season. and this year is no different, I was pretty happy with how the game was going in the first half, and even when we went down with the first we seemed to have the balance of play, but lack of match sharpness and practice as a team let us down once again. there were plenty of neanderthal no necks, loving the opportunity to roar abuse at Hollis and McCall and Sutton all around me in the Cooper, same as there were last year against Pana and Levante, and all the piss poor home games that followed until the team eventually got going Fact is we do not have a proven system this early in the season, we also do not have the fitness and sharpness of these teams, we've had a turnover in first team players with almost half of the first team changing and have only had what were effectively a couple of bounce games to try and get them to gel, now I accept that and live in some hope that the financial minnow can occasionally beat the giant, as frustrating as it is to then get a good opportunity and blow it with a few mistakes. I hope that if we get the chance in future seasons, we can retain a team thats finished well and find a way to get them back together earlier in the summer and play plenty games together prior to the euro tie

yip as fatcalf say the communication mentioned that it was requested that you pick it up at the club to save the society money. plenty of people requested it be sent out and as far as I know they did send them to those that asked.. maybe you should email allison or the society

No

Id imagine, if, you can get through on the phone they will sell you it,worth a try ticket office is open until kick off but imagine it will be bedlam from around 530 onwards

£435 £455 contributed to date, £350 paid to club for Stuart Carswells sponsorship Leaves the, £85 £105 balance I was in the process of paying for a senior player with me underwriting the balance of costs and felt confident that we could have covered the amount in full with some left over, but the deal fell through. leaves us with the decision on what to do with the excess? Andy has suggested the box to box, which is effectively and advertisement/mention in the programme we also have the option of purchasing, 50-50 draw tickets or something like Well lotto tickets where proceeds go to youth development, and has the potential to provide a return that would of course go back into the club via sponsorship for larger amounts or for smaller amounts more draw tickets etc. any of the contributors got suggestions or preferences?

McCall seen Nielsen at Morecambe, he didnt see Hollis at Central park would guess they'll swap at some point

hell of a lot easier, and they have not been spoilt for choice with European jaunts that was their third in a seven year spell this is our tenth in five years Scottish city clubs European tours

WTF have I done now from discussions on the matter, the club were left with few options. So for a one off game are out of pocket , no question, as quite simply the UEFA money doesn't cover the costs incurred. perhaps with good tickets sales for the home game, the situation will improve. Club really has the same options as fans, scheduled flights or a charter. you can see from the snippets of information that most fans are taking extra time to travel over and back to reduce travel costs (or to holiday) The club do not really have that luxury of time, cannot be sending players over days early (other costs) and need to be back as early as possible for scheduled match v Aberdeen Leaves them looking at charters, Russian carrier regulations severely limit choice of operators, increasing the costs , 5hour+ flights takes fuel cost over anything previously encountered. from what I can see the club were left with 'a loss' as the UEFA money is short of whats required, and I'm 'guessing' at this stage, but it looks like the 'fan option' package is cheaper than what each official or player is costing (UEFA), and every fan who pays is effectively reducing that loss the club are facing for taking the only realistic option.

they did but suppose it depends on what you believe is noticeable, but at £22 PATG its not surprising anyone that did come to see him, did not return week in week out Still think the club miss a trick in general, by not offering a 5 game (domestic) ticket for say £75? PS and aye, bournemouth have average attendence less than 7k, pretty sure it wasnt even a majority that were there to see the home team

Think this will be the first time that the club will be struggling to break even on a euro qualification. Its going to cost hell of a lot to get the required staff out to Krasnodar especially with the timeline needed to get back in decent time for the Aberdeen game and all the restrictions and added costs that come with travelling to Russia. add in the fact its £22 to watch the likes of St Mirren at Fir Park I expect a minimum of £25 for Third round qualifier and at least the same if we get to the play off round although if that happens prices might be relaxed to say £22-£20

we are one of the 'big' teams

would you not agree, if there are not a couple of eligible players better than him, then that makes him international class and deserving of any call up? maybe not in the sense of playing for Spain or Brazil, but fact is he is Scottish, he is a solid performer, with years of experience and there are not many, if any, so called better players available as a Scotland fan I'd be happy if we had world class superstars fighting for places in the squad and as such Stevie missed out, but the fact is, international class, for Scotland, is well within Hammells scope

But you wouldn't be knocking him down for taking the opportunity to develop as a player, by at least striving to be better and continue to maintain or improve his capability. If there are not a couple of eligible players that are notably better than him, that makes him international class

nope, I quoted as you made a pertinent point that had been missed but now we all know how to give you the paranoia

not really anything to do with the topic, but for fuxache, he has been here six years it's HUTCHINSON

but you wanted them judged against last season team, who were pish in the pre-season games, and pretty rank in the early home games so weeyins reply stands and as for wanting Hollis judged on 45 minutes, you know fine well you're inviting all the bottom feeders to wet their pants in reply

and no doubt that Killie will switch it to ticket only, around 3pm on the day. Only football clubs know how to run a match, fans have not got a clue

both locations have awesome natural light, great for photographs of the Haifa half dozen or the Lankaran Legion of six

that would mean about twenty new strips every season!

am told we have taken the RB from Morton, Craig Reid EDIT: and as he pictured on the Motherwell Facebook page I believe its true

anyone else pick up news of a Lunch time press conference tomorrow? just a return to normal service or something to announce?

he was already registered last season, until june 30th so , the registration is an extension not a new signing, interesting the league are already referring to themselves as the SPFL , I would have thought there would be some legal stuff to get out the way prior to that happening not least sponsor contracts etc

Nonsense Omar Daley got 12 starts (11 in league) and 15 sub appearances in his first season , Same season Bob got 3starts (1in league) Season after Omar had 3 starts bob had 2, Omar got plenty time in his first season to prove himself, and he did as a work shy lazy runt, I'd probably not say he was pish as his capability was there he just wasn't interested, Bob, deserves his contract and probably deserves more of a chance, he's never hid, always stepped up when asked, delivered more often than not, and sat patiently watching a number of imposters get game time over him
