Lobey_Dosser Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Och, slightly saddened that such a prestegious game won't be at Fir Park but the future of the pitch comes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearethemotherwellfc Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Is the home leg next week or is that the week after?? And how come we're still playing at Airdrie.I thought Fir Park was ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Disappointing choice of venue - as that place has been a disaster movie to drive to and with a bigger crowd will only be worse - however need to respect the clubs decision to protect the new pich ahead of the new season and on keeping the briefs at £15.

Jay Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 To be honest, I'm pretty indifferent to the Fir Park situation. We won't sell out, and Fir Park is hardly a red hot cauldron of atmosphere. The only reasons for moving the game back to Motherwell would be purely sentimental. The only problem I have with moving grounds is that people end up sitting all over the place. At Fir Park, you know where the atmosphere is going to come from and like minded fans can gather together to get the chanting going. In Airdrie, you can end up surrounded by folk who want to sit in silence. However, at times last night there was a decent atmosphere all around the ground, so it can be achieved. The only downside to playing in Airdrie is having to get there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only downside to playing in Airdrie is having to get there! I left a pals house in newmains at 6.30 and at 7.20 was in chaplehall. I left the car in the industrial estate and ran. Got to the game at 7.40 piss poor control of traffic or poor preparation on my part, but surely 1.25 hrs is enough to get to a game ffs i can get to Hampden in that time. Loads of folk came in late KO should have been delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Did you forget to drive from Newmains? We left Jack Daniels at about 7 and were in the stadium about 25 past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got there about ten past seven and there were plenty of spaces there and accross the road at the school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEMO Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 How i was stuck in long slow traffic and gave up, but i did notice a few buses taking different routes. Wanted to follow but was scared i ended up in a bus only area and would make me even later. Still ended well, bus next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav212 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Got lucky with the traffic last night, but the Llanelli game i wasn't so lucky. Took me 1hr and 45 mins to drive from Lanark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i got to the ground there were pleanty spaces, maybe i just panicked as didnt want to miss the KO but the traffic was poorly managed and very very slow IMO.

punk_in_drublic Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 We left Law last night about 7.05pm got stuck the minute we hit Newhouse roundabout, but we took a right just before the industrial estate in Airdrie, drove up a strange back road and parked in the housing estate next to the stadium, think we were bout 10mins late, but still caught the goals.

milo Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I don't understand why if the Wigan game was going to played at Fir Park on the 8th, the pitch won't be ready on the 6th? Getting to Airdrie is a nightmare. I left Glasgow at 6:30pm lat night and missed the first goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of folk came in late KO should have been delayed. I left Newmains at 6.55 last night and was parked in a housing scheme across the road from the industrial estate and was in the ground 10 mins afore kick off and I never went off the main roads. Traffic was bad but I thought there wasn't much else the Police could do given everyone was coming via Chapelhall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am led to believe it is not the pitch that is the problem for the 6th but major refurb! work being carried out on the floodlights that week!!

weeyin Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 There is no point in risking problems with the pitch in December for the sake of one game. Can you imagine the outrage on here if something went wrong with the "Why did JB not listen to the experts?" and "More incompetence from the club!!" etc. The club screwed up last year with the pitch, so the more good advice they heed this season, the better.

grumpy Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Much as I'd prefer the game at Fir Park if it's at Airdrie so be it. I notice no Kick Off time on the main site, holding out for a TV deal maybe???? My only complaint about there is getting out the car park at the end, I left the house (Motherwell) at half six and got to the ground at seven, it took me longer than that to move a car length after the game.

BobWilson (Anchorman) Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Quite glad it's not at Fir Park... It would be like Guy Fawkes night if the Steaua boys let the flares off in the Main Stand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
