Still no word on the half season books yet? I can't be sure, but I thought the release date had already been announced this time last year?

I'll be more than happy if we can take a point from this game. They'll be flying after their win over Rangers, but I fancy us to sneak a 1-1 draw.

Source: Sky Sports.com Brilliant news that he wants to extend his current deal beyond January, up to the end of the season. It'll be a wrench seeing him leave at the end of the season, although his deal is up with Blackburn then, so maybe he'll fancy a move to Fir Park for another season?

Aye, the games on ALBA. They usually show it around 10pm on Saturday night.

According to todays Daily Record;

Works fine for me.

Aye, but he's getting to that age, so we can forgive both him & Knox :wank:

I think there's a few XL retro shirts left, and some pairs of shorts, but that's about it.

He actually is entitled to an explanation, which is why he went to ask for one. The rule is that you're supposed to wait five minutes, then go and visit the officials if you choose. Now we know what the five minutes are for though, eh? Getting their stories straight.

I doubt Shuggie Dallas will be doing anything at the moment that draws even more neagtive attention to himself

It's not the actual decision he made that bothers me, it's the fact that he lied about it to an SPL manager. That should be grounds for dismissal.

Which he shouldn't be. Still, he'll be on his best behaviour i'm sure.

I'd agree with that. The last 15-20 minutes or so of that game looked like it had more than it's fair share of hairy moments.

A classic Wednesday night in the pissing rain fixture coming up. If we can grab all three points here, and Hearts drop points against Celtic we could see a 5 point cushion forming over them. United dropping points against St Mirren would be a bonus as well, although I won't hold my breath on that front.

I know it may be a bit early, but does anyone know when the half-season tickets go on sale, and how much they cost?

Best wishes Stevie. A true Motherwell legend.

Excellent post.

I know it's all been discussed before, and that it has no real soultion, but something really has to be done to make football more affordable to the masses again.

Without doubt, but people just don't have the money to go to games anymore.

The closest we have at the moment is probably Craigan.

I've stuck a couple of quid on a draw. Decent odds on that.

Derby day is always good, especially when we're on form. A good tanking wouldn't go amiss.

Aye, we should have put a club legend on it. Someone like Coyne, Arnott or Philliben would have fit the bill nicely.

The majority may follow the Old Firm, but I doubt that many of them actually go to the games. I know a good few people who proclaim to be Celtic or Rangers "fans", but who wouldn't hand over £20 to see them, never mind whatever their charging these days.

Christ... If those "glory hunters" hadn't forked over their £20 and came to the game i'm fairy sure we'd be reading complaints about no one showing up. The simple fact of the matter is, Scottish football isn't value for money anymore. There are much better things to spend your £20 ticket money on at the weekend, plus you can sit in and watch world class football on Sky. Until this changes and we see reasonable ticket prices for more than the odd game here & there, we'll continue to attract the same core of fans as we always do.
