shull Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Aye, I can well imagine that Shull. My Airdrie supporting mate still longs for Broomfield and feels they've never been quite the same as a club since leaving it behind. When he talks of their last game there he remembers it with a mixture of fondness - of old stalwarts gracing the turf one last time of winning their last game and going out in a high. Of mayhem with fans trying to grab what they could for souvenirs - he and his mates were spotted four hours after full-time walking down the street with a Diamonds Private Members Club advert board. But mostly of sadness, when the players had gone, the songs dried up, the stadium began to empty and grown men in tears not wanting to leave knowing that when they did it would be for the last time. Makes me shudder thinking ahead if we ever have to move from Fir Park that's for sure! Personal interest makes me want you have a stinker of a final day at Love Street when the dust settles I'll spare a thought for the Buds fans. Cheers Andy !!! All Saints Fans will miss the old dump.

Special aka Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Wish it was us ...................... albeit I'm not kean on the design, but Fir Park is also a dump and is no longer fit for purpose. Love it or loath it St Mirren now have a stadium and additional facilities which should secure their mid term future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what your saying mate but i would rather be in a rusty wasting away Fir Park for the next 50 years than in THAT.Fair enough it's cheap and it's good for the club financially but it's horrid and is too far away from the pitch we need a bit of imagination in this country!

GregyScotland Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Well a new stadium/redevelopment of Fir Park is on the board's agenda - JB made it clear the board were looking at proposals. Ravenscraig perharps? I dont want to leave Fir Park, I'd rather see it refurbished, and in that I mean the Main Stand and the East Stand rebuilt and replaced by stands similar in design to the Davie Cooper, so it all matches, that im my mind would by ideal fo us, with a capacity of 12,000 and it wouldnt be embarissing as we would have three matching stands and no big gaps or slogans on roofs etc. However, I made a concept stadium on Google SketchUp, and it consisted of four stands the same as the current south stand...im trying to figure out how to upload the pictures. Anyone else got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Not about tickets, but the result on Saturday is now surely a foregone conclusion. McPherson has been given Manager of the Month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well_Jaggy Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Even if there were any motherwell tickets left I'd very much doubt that the police would allow it. St Mirren website now saying game sold out.BoLox no way I can get to Fir Park before then. oh well. just need to miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fal_Dosser Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Make sure you get there in the morning - the ticket office shuts at 1pm. Just in case anyone gets caught out, when I phoned the club earlier, I was advised the closing time tomorrow was 12.30. May be they're squeezing an extra half an hour but best phone and check if your likely to be there lunchtime. MON RA DOSSERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnstone Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 It says on the official site that the ticket office in the Chapman building will close at 1pm on the 31st of December. Any remaining tickets will sent back to Love St and sold from the ticket booth on the date of the match. We have sold over 700 tickets and I think around 100 remain.

Well-Made Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Looks like this game will be a formality for the 'Well now. McPherson has just won the Manager of the Month award Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I think you're right... although I've a sneaky feeling the formality is St Mirren winning... It's their last game at Love St... something tells em they're gonna come out and give us hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Cant grudge him the MOTM award. He has won the last 4 matches! I am feeling terrible with the cold/flu so am rated 50/50 on making the trip on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 St Mirren are pish but have now won 4 on the bounce. Surely this run can't last forever? We should also now have a bit more confidence after our win and have just as much, if not more to play for, than St Mirren. We have to be up for this game every bit as much as them. I know it's their last game at Love Street but it's still only the same 3 points at stake. I fear a St Mirren win. Having said that, I'd put money on Motherwell losing their last ever game at Fir Park!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherwellseasider Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 WE got 950 and as at around 3pm yesterday had 100 left so here's hoping for a ful Well crowd as well. Cmon the Dossers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another number Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Was up this morning to get mine just after nine and the old ticket shop was relatively busy. So fairly sure the final 100 will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I'd put money on Motherwell losing their last ever game at Fir Park!! The one big thing in our favour is the old Manger of the Month curse. Now that McPherson has got it, we are surely odds-on for a win. I remembe the last day of the old Knowetop terracing. Home to Saint Johnstone, a win would see us finish second, they had to win 2-0 to stay up. We produced a dreadful performance, lost 0-1, but at least we got to wind up the visiting fans who had just been relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
