  1. Past hour
  2. Just shows if you have an entertaining product people will come. Even for old firm home games our home attendance is well up. It's important we keep building and making sure youth academy is invested in but also being brave I transfer market. We seem financially sound and obviously buying just, said, longelo for fees with possibility selling them on for large profit (,but obviously want them to stay) If club can prove we want to progress then hopefully JBA sees immediate future with ourselves COYW
  3. Today
  4. 100% Many scoffed when the Well Society/Board stated that outside investment was welcome, but they saw many short term gains that could be made that would put the club on a more stable footing and make it more attractive to investors. Being the best version of ourselves before we reached out for investment from a position if strength is proving to be a sound plan. We now have money in the bank and an asset rich playing squad. How we manage that going forward will be key. We need to maximise the return on our assets now whilst trying to re-generate them to ensure the entertainment factor remains high. Get it right and the future could be self fulfilling. Get it wrong and this season becomes yet another blip in an otherwise mediocre existence. No pressure guys! šŸ§”ā¤ļøšŸ§”
  5. Would be a right kick in the balls if jens moved to celtic,surely there must be talks going on to see if his contract can be extended.
  6. As our standard of football is the highest its been for decades, its no surprise that our attendances have risen; certainly moreso that I would have expected at the start of the season. Over the past 20/30 years we've had a variety of short term initiatives to boost them, all with very limited temporary success. As many of you would have expected, success on the field and also entertainment value have had a lot to do with the encouraging statistics. Stating the bleeding obvious I hear you say. Many of us felt that a average of about 5,500 - 5,900 was our absolute ceiling. So far this season, our average has been 7,944. That seems to be the highest since 1998-99, when the average was 8,511. Of course there are always annual factors such as top 6 success or number of games against the gruesome twosome that affect the detailed statistics. The bottom line is though, that our average this season is roughly 2,000 more per game than our long term average. Thats quite an achievement. It means a better atmosphere; bigger gate receipts; increased hospitality; increased catering income; higher programme sales; half time draw income; and boosted shop sales. This will be reflected in the balance sheet. All good. Then we have increased wider benefits to our good friends in the likes of the New Century Bar, Steelworks, Upper Crust, Tim Hortons, Dalzell Bowling Club and last but not least the HMRC. Sadly, our one failure was our inability to save Club 100. Although I was never a customer, due to personal circumstances, I know quite a few of you were devastated at its demise. Our challenge now is to maintain this increase in future years irrespective of managerial and other short term changes. We have to retain these new or lapsed fans. This season does show though what can be done, if the product is right. It will give the Well Society a tangible fillip.
  7. Yesterday
  8. Now yer talking.....I loved the cobra. ( a verse i wont see on Mrs grizzly's valentines card) 🤣🤣
  9. A rangers fan told me today that Rohl is wanted by Spurs and that ā€œRangers will get Jensā€ - fuckin delusional or what? Celtic fan says they should offer Motherwell anything they want to get him, I said we’ll start with your left ball to which he replied I’d give my right one as well if it would help.
  10. An absolute joy watching this team I keep expecting a dip in form, but at this moment in time there has been no dip whatsoever On reflection looking back to the game last night it is another we should have definetly won
  11. Tommy Coyne in this team though.....
  12. What a pleasure it is watching this team. I didn’t think I’d see a team that would entertain more than the McLean / McLeish team of the 90s. Probably not as good but certainly a better watch
  13. A very fair, even glowing, look at Motherwell last night from a Rangers-minded analyst: Looks like we should change our name to Smotherwell........
  14. The standards poor but McLean is pretty far down my hate list. Clancy , Beaton and Walsh boil my piss.
  15. Never underestimate the Jens effect! šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†
  16. His attitude and commitment to us has been first class. Would love to keep him but no way could we afford him
  17. Surely if JBA left in summer ( please no) but if he did then Boaby Martinez perfect fit for us as an ex player and his wife is from Motherwell 😁😁
  18. I would imagine Watt and Priestman will start on Sunday. Fadinger back in for the cup game. Its great having a strong squad that allows rotation when required. We also have the majority of our injured players ready and available for the run in. Heady times!
  19. I imagine there will be be some changes. A lot of games coming up. Aberdeen are a bit of an unknown as they have signed lots of players, but I think they got battered of Killie 3-0 in their last game and they still don’t have a manager…
  20. One good one out of dozens, the guy is a cheating twat.
  21. He also looks like he wants to be here.
  22. Thats my understanding. Presumsbly, Watt was just bring managed last night and is fit.
  23. Another minor point along the same lines. At the end of the first half, Tavernier was having a long discussion with him on the POD touchline which lasted 2 mins ( i timed it) and 1 minute gets added on. Not game changing by any means but just another inconsistency among many others.
  24. He let the goal stand against Aberdeen on the last day, he will always get a pass from me.
  25. Iā€˜Ve said this for years against the old firm. They don’t just get all the big decisions they get all the 50/50s that then swing the momentum in their favour or kill the momentum that we have built. There’s no way that it’s down to individual referees, it’s been going on for decades with multiple different officials and not just against us.
  26. McLean is a useless twat and it showed again last night.
