Agreed, but I'd see that more as full use of vouchers in the book (ALL of them), discounts from the shop, reductions on additional home tickets purchased etc. and maybe regular events that only ST holders could attend (Q and As etc.)

Read my post two up from your own in respect of the first paragraph. You think the club can afford to GAMBLE over the long term with really low ST prices and POTG prices? How long in your opinion is 'short term' as this may be the difference between us having a club to support and not having a club to support.

Aw you need to know is if we win tomorrow we finish 4th!

I even forgot it was on TV. Looks like we won't get that 'definitive' answer after all.

I do agree with this point and raised my concerns in another thread. Prices weren't frozen for those (and I include myself in that) who financially committed themselves to the club for Season 2009/10 before May 2009 was out. £333 I paid for a seat in the POD Stand in May 2009 for this season. £351 this year (before June 2010) for season 2010/11. Pretty poor imo. Plus how many 'special offer vouchers' are in the book for the 'food kiosk' and the shop? How many have been used? To my knowledge one.....and even then you had to spend £60.00+ to get a free CCC scarf or size 4 Motherwell football. The point about paying into every home game and waiting for reduced rates (more likely in the last 7 or so home games) is the most financially prudent idea. Full price Season Tickets are now for the 'hardcore' support imo. The individual takes a hit in the pocket whilst the club gets the rewards from financial commitment. The fan is paying into the club not for his/her own benefit but in the (possibly misguided) hope our pre summer money will somehow make its way on to the pitch. I am all for 'rewarding' ST holders. £300 - £320 would have seemed like a really good gesture from the club. However, the club are going for it with free ST for the under 16s and they have to get some of the money back somehow. Again, one of the most loyal group of fans have taken the hit again. Maybe, because the club think they will take it. Perhaps....perhaps not. What I DO see as wasted energy is the talk of a £200 (and below) ST. That would, whether we like it or not, reflect on the quality we see every other weekend on the pitch at Fir Park. A club our size can't have it every way. Tomorrow night imo is going to show people that low prices aren't going to guarantee big attendances at Fir Park.......and like I said if it doesn't happen tomorrow I'm not sure when it will. I'm happy to pay a decent amount each summer in the hope it allows the club a chance at signing a better standard of player. I don't like the club taking that loyaty for granted though by stinging me in the pocket. If one thing forces me to walk away from a ST next year it will probably be due to ongoing pitch problems that obviously wouldn't be resolved this summer either. That is a differnet debate for another time though.

Who knows. However, If Brown thinks he is good enough for the SPL and he doesn't break (or even damage) the bank, then I'll be happy to have him here and give him a chance.

All of this ST pricing talk can be put to bed, or given more reason to be pursued, in a little over 24 hours. If we STILL struggle to break the 6,000 mark tomorrow, with prices set at £10 and £1, for our biggest domestic match in two years on a night (if I am correct) that there is no other 'big name' live football on TV, then I'm not sure we will ever be able to do anything to substantially (and by that I mean add 1,500 - 2,000 people onto our crowd per match) 'up' our attendances. Apart from be competitive for the league and the domestic cups. Which won't happen on a regular basis and in some cases, ever. Which is very sad.

Klimpl to Aberdeen is actually a good shout. I'd take him back if we could get him to sign for a 'reasonable' wage.

Yes and no as we will have a LOOOOONG summer of transfer speculation. If it is news of a new sponsor that is bringin more money into the club than JAXX......then I'd be pretty happy with that, Would appear to be a new multi year deal with Puma though.

Can't say I remember. Spot on about Motherwell getting Canterbury as a supplier or something else? If it is an off the peg number then that is deeply disappointing.

I think most people's feelings are that we are unlikely to beat Rangers at Ibrox whilst Hibs COULD beat Dun Utd. I may be wrong though.

Inside info?

Apparently very good. Said himself he is looking to step up from the First Division. Would be surprised if Brown didn't make a move.

Madness. Meant a midfield four. I'm obviously playing at right back.

Isn't he about 36 though? Believe Bell is out of contract this summer.

Excellent news. Fantastic achievement indeed.

I'm still unconvinced by Humphrey. Great pace but I'm struggling to see more than that. I'b be inclined to go with Hateley-Forbes-Coke-O'Brien myself.

Why? Do you think other clubs and fans would feel the same about Motherwell F.C.? Kyle has held talks with Aberdeen. Will be surprised if he ends up there though as he has already stated he wants to spend more time with his kid who stays in the North of England.

Would like to see the new kit paraded at half time on Wednesday but I'd say the chances of that are now super slim.

Simply no way.

+1 And that we have a new supplier in place.

Also possible. Just stating what I saw. That Bradford kit is no bad at all.

Very true. We might draw our next two games and still finish 5th. I remember thinking at 1-0 and 2-0 yesterday and after Hibs getting beat that I wasn't too bothered. We knew what was at stake on Wednesday before the kick off. When the fourth went in though I was gutted as I knew we had given up our goal difference to Hibs and over the two matches yesterday, Hearts had gained 5 goals on us. I would have forgave Brown, on this one occasion, for going all out on defense the minute we went 2-0 down. At that point we were taking nothing from the game and losing more goals was the only concern. In that way the team blew it big time. Going to be a great or really disappointing night on Wednesday. As it is our last home game of the season it is customary for the players to do a lap of honour. Will many people hand about to see it if we have lost or drawn? I'd hope so but I remember there was a bit of a flat atmosphere last year and that was when Killie scored a last minute winner in a meaningless game. On the flip side it will be party time if we win. Biggest domestic game we have had for two years. Massive and I really hope there is a big turnout of fans. To get into Europe again on FOOTBALLLING MERIT rather the back door of Fair Play table would be a major achievement for us again. If we get a draw or worse then I think (depending on Celtic beating Hearts) we will be reliant on Dun Utd on the 15th.

I think I said that.
