No need to sit in specific seats im guessing  Afraid not. When I bought tickets on Thursday evening they were all for the Main (West) Stand and tickets were assigned to numbered seats.

mjw Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 its a four sided lego stadium so it would depend if you are a behind the goals type or a seat along the touchline type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onthefringes Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 its a four sided lego stadium so it would depend if you are a behind the goals type or a seat along the touchline type I cant see any of the stands behind the goals being required.

Kmcalpin Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I cant see any of the stands behind the goals being required. Â They may open one, if the West Stand is full. Given the importance of the game I'd like to see at least 4,000 Well fans there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc123 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I cant see any of the stands behind the goals being required. Â Â The main stand and the one opposite will be in use (if required). Ticket sales for 1st leg ain't shifting that well at the monent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu92 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I was in getting my tickets yesterday and they said they'd only sold about 1000 for both legs, which is a bit disappointing tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 We will be doing well to get more than 3500. Â Plenty folk will either be away on holiday or on the verge of heading away. And in the eyes of some fans, the game is far from a big deal. Â Quite looking forward to Thursday mind you, hopefully see a few youngsters that may be capable of making an impact this season. Â As for the bus Andy, I'm just going to go through in the motor with the auld man, saves any hassle getting back to my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'd be up for the bus. Stick me down for a seat if it's going. Â Andy - Give me a shout when you're heading up for tickets. No got mine sorted yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I was in getting my tickets yesterday and they said they'd only sold about 1000 for both legs, which is a bit disappointing tbh. Â I don't think shifting 1000 plus in two days for the away game is particularly bad. Â But its a curious one for Thursday. I honestly don't know what would be perceived as a decent crowd. Â Its kinda unchartered territory having a competitive game at this point in the summer. There's a lot to counter-act the positives of it being the first game of the season and a European match with it being "away" in Airdrie and as Lobey Dosser has already said folk may be away etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welldaft Mk1 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 They may open one, if the West Stand is full. Given the importance of the game I'd like to see at least 4,000 Well fans there. Â Â I too think that my be overly optimistic. Holidays will probably take about 500-1000 off that number with a few more staying away because of the economy/costs. Â Add in the fact that it is at Airdrie and the opposition are Llanelli - oh and the final point that we seem to be selling off our best players. Â That said we should get a wee boost if Gannon is paraded tomorrow and gives the right impression. That and the fact IT IS the first ever game by a Scottish club in the Europa Cup and let's not forget one of the few European ties ever by a Motherwell side. Â I was in my mid 20's when we played in Europe in the mid 90's. I honestly did not think it would take a gap of 13 years till the Nancy game came along. These Euro ties are like hens teeth and for that reason alone I would never be indifferent or unmoved by any Euro game that Motherwell play.

AndyRoss Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Just an update on this.  Need numbers asap as Colin needs to know whether he needs an extra bus.  The buses would be £4.  I said I'd give him a bell tonight , so if folk could get back quickly that'd be great.
