We don't have a right back

Yeah I often do. & I see what you cleverly did there - classic Dunno what side their bread's buttered some of em - neither they do.

Yeah I was talking about Celtic fans I know that our fans wouldn't see it as even remotely close to an issue

I'm no gettin what you mean decorator

Remember the time we pissed ourselves laughing when C****c supporters were up in arms when Umbro split the hoops a few years back? Pathetic whingeing fuckers every last one of them eh?

Aye

Agree to an extent Dodge. However - I think that the day that the POD doesn't get a safety certificate may not be that far off. Not that it's unsound / about to fall down - it's just that H&S / building regs evolve and get tighter year on year. The timber frame, flame retardent coated or not, will soon become banned from holding supporters.

It could be done - I think we could upgrade without increasing our footprint too dramatically. The obvious drawback is we need to sell the place to fund anything we do. There's scope on the main stand side - the POD could be replaced without increasing the overall height with a steeper stand that reaches a fair bit higher than the current one. If you look at the shape of the POD roof I think we see that it has tons of headroom that we could use up with 'seating height' We'd need to remain at 2/3 the length of the pitch as I don't see the neighbours agreeing to us filling in the gap on the South Stand side. We could however go right to the touchline with seating and fill in what was the old 'enclosure.. That would be a braw stand. On the East Stand side we'd have to apply to go a bit higher - but with a steeper stand - we may not encroach on our neighbours too much. The only upgrade to the two new stands, as has been mentioned in many threads by a few posters, is the replacement of some of the metal sheeting on the south stand with some transparent material.

Wow if it was as simple as that?. . . . . . . However - to show that the other side of the argument can work. Update from the best run club in Scotland (unfortunatelt true) Shibbees

I'd love Motherwell to stay at Fir Park - it would just be immense. But it's never gonna happen. We're all guessing at the calculations - but my guess is they've already been done and we need to move as soon as is logistically possible. We'll be holding off to make the move as 'break-even' as possible. As for it being anywhere near as costly to maintain a new stadium vs a 50% decrepit stadium - well Stevie Wonder just passed me on a bike in hysterics at that. The hope (against hope) is that the new stadium will be something to be proud of. What we've all seen on our travels is that they by and large are to a template, and that's not gonna be great. What helps? Filled in corners - Parc y Scarlets / Almondwale Steep stands - Tynecastle Close to the pitch - Tyncastle / Tannadice A bit of elevation Parc y Scarlets / NDP / Some of Tannadice A bit of variation across the stands What doesn't New St Mirren Park

Yeah, he would fit in well on here and in the east stand

Aye OK then - as long as you find the pilchard that suggested Dorman as well and put him / her on -1 too

Agent quoted on BBC as him having firm offers from championship teams

I'm just pissed off that Ladywell hasn't updated the list yet. Somebody made up Andy Dorman ages ago and it's still on the list. I made up Kenny Deuchar yesterday and it's not been put on the list yet

Was that when he was still in The Housemartins? You must be one of the few that's seen him outwith Football Manager Melv. Respect

What about Paul Heaton from The Beautiful South? You muppets are just throwin names about for a laugh

he's been released by St Johnstone and is considering returning to 'doctoring' full time, . . . . . . unless a club comes in for him. Falkirk are the most likely though.

Kenny Deuchar

The is he / isn't he on the radar debate continues. (Or the press have been on the boards again)

I'd conclude that the particular estate agent should be shut down for breach of data protection

Would that not 'technically' be replacing him. But this is the type of business we need to do. Reynolds out and no new major expense to fill the jersey

That's BB dobbed in then innit

Oh right - i hadny heard that one
