Going back to my original point, why do you spend your money on it? If its because you enjoy it then at what point would you decide to stop? That probably brings up a bigger point. As more and more clubs start to bring out the lame "buisness argument" excuse to justify raising prices and other things like moving season ticket holders for big games then shouldn't clubs start to act like buisnesses towards their customers (i.e. the supporter)? Any buisness that relies on loyalty to continue as a going concern is doomed to failure. Football clubs need to start acting like buisnesses to survive and that means advertising your product, making sure the customer (supporter) has an enjoyable experience and pricing it competitively. And just saying, "oh if you come along we will have more money to invest in players and the team will get better", is utter stupidity. Would you accept it if your local cinema offered you sub-standard facilities but said "if you keep coming it will get better eventually"? No, of course not. So why do football clubs get away with it? (This isn't a pop at just Motherwell, it's a pop at just about every club in the UK to be honest)

Terrible reason. You can support a team without spending money. Stop trying to appear holier than thou by proxy. And because chances are going from youth/student to adult means you are just starting to work (or not working at all) and you arent exactly flush with cash at that point therefore it becomes a luxury and you get out of the habit. Simples.

I've always taken stuff in with me, they never stop you (from my experiences anyway). Prices at all grounds are ridiculous anyway. How much is a pie? £2? How much is one at your local (non-greggs) bakers? £1? Poor stuff. They aren't really. They will be paying some players near-SPL wages. Its clearly a gamble to see if it will make or lose money over the season. Good luck to them. Theres supporting your team and stupidity. Thats stupidity. £320 for a season of 1st division football? Perhaps a wider question to ST holders. Why do you do it? I stopped when I had to pay adult (as opposed to student) ST prices because I'd rather pick and choose games over a season rather than shell out £300+. Plus half a dozen are on the TV anyway. Maybe its just me, I can't see the financial sense to go to SPL games anymore. £22 plus other costs (booze etc.) is simply too much. Guaranteed I'm not alone in thinking it. And anyone who brings out the "oh but I pure support ma team cuz ahm better than you" or "well we dont need James Hunts like you anyway" answers can go sit on a cactus. Summary: why do you go the football anymore when its so expensive? "Characters" trying to be hilarious need not apply.

I will do. Cinema ticket: £7.50 (VUE Hamilton) 20 games (19 home games and 1 cup game) @ £280 for an East Stand season ticket: £14/game (a saving of, GASP, £4 on the door price) And for around half the price you get facilities that appear to be from the year 3000 when compared to Fir Park. If you think your season ticket is good value then you need your head checked. £9 a game gives £180 for a season. That's more reasonable for an SPL ticket. However £7 a game for Accies is an excellent deal, and a fine reward for the loyal supporters who buy season tickets every season. I hope it proves that cheaper prices and not treating your supporters like cattle means more supporters going to games.

It must be a slow news day all over the world then!

£300 to vote on who's going to be on the board? Good luck.

Never gets old

Gutted. Was hoping it would fool at least dazamfc Source for some lols

Well he is from Liverpool... EDIT: Hearing rumours from some Miami based papers that Jack Gough from Ft Lauderdale Strikers (formerly Miami FC) in the second tier of american football (or soccer as they call it ) is going for a trial when pre season starts. He is a left sided midfielder, but has a good reputation for finishing.

To be fair, that's funnier than wanting to sing songs about Robbie Fowler.

Someone had to.

I saw him play at LB against Birmingham in the FA Cup before he was hooked after half an hour and he was woeful. The corner flag would have done a better job at LB. Hibs would be welcome to him. Hutchinson >>>> Reynolds

POPPYCOCK! BALDERDASH!

Not when its the truth. Hearts have a bigger crowds, a stadium with an infinetly better atmosphere and a good rivalry outside the old firm matches with Hibs in the form of 3/4 derby matches a year. We have pathetic crowds, a silent stadium and no decent derby or matches with any decent rivalry outwith the old firm. And thats not even thinking about wages. Compared with Motherwell, Hearts are a "proper" club. Offering Craigan a deal though

No you don't. You're just looking for attention. Unless you're actually an idiot. I'd say both. The referee was inept, amateurish and an utter disgrace to the profession of refereeing. 50,000 people in Hampden yesterday saw that. You must've been doing a one man "Poznan" at the time. /Discussion.

To whoever added the highlights of various Motherwell Celtic games on youtube (and the Dortmund game). I used my whole lunch break and a whole lot more watching them. Good job.

That. Is. Genius.

I'm sure Celtic will get their penalty/penalties at some point, yes.

Exactly. The only way for a 10 team league could possibly work is to use any extra money coming in to significantly reduce ticket prices. And we all know that wont happen. Poor stuff.

What?

It does sound pwopa nawty

In before the obvious joke
