Saw big bevis mugabe in Bothwell today with his missus. Kilmarnock maybe?

pretty sure it's a 433 Fadinger- LW , Maswanhise - RW

Good strong line up and great seeing TJ and Stama up top

Team v Twente looks like 442 Ward, Johnny K Gordon McGinn Wilson Watt Fadinger Miller Slattery Maswanhise. Stam

My mum uses that - it gives quite interesting results when you search for something online

Was up on the fb page this morning - kick off time

£5 and £3 for concessions

It might, but I'm a Duck Duck Go kinda guy.

FWIW, a quick Google of "Motherwell Fixtures" delivers the relevant information in a summary box without having to even go to an actual web page. @weeyin, whether it does so in the States is a different question.

Was just trying to find the same thing cheers. Wild they can muster together shite social media content but can't post a kick off time.

Other than "It's on Youtbue" did the club post the kick-off time for today's match? (didn't want to start a new thread). EDIT: Never mind, after not finding it on Twitter or the Club Site, I found it in the email they sent today. 6pm UK time.

It was also said at the meeting that advisory groups consider a 30% response to any voting opportunity good. Maybe it's the old argumentative codger in me that believes a vote should always be used. Some of the MPs and MSPs ruining (not a mistype) are elected with 30% or less.

Sometimes people forget Miller is only 18. As good as he is, he will have dips in performance like any other 18 year old. However, he is still very much worth 5+ million of any rich club's budget.

I imagine most financial contributors to the Society only want to support the club and have no interest in the day-to-day running. I don't have a problem with that.

Just to add that I think Miller is a great player with loads of potential. That said, since November last year, he hasn’t quite recaptured the early-season form he showed. Whether that’s down to the number of games or the decision to make him captain (which I still think was a poor call), he’s only shown flashes since then. As things stand, he’s still a Motherwell player, and I’d expect him to carry himself accordingly — and for the club to plan with him in mind until a deal is actually signed elsewhere.

The two posts above help dispel the theory. Club will realise a market value like never seen soon enough.

Ive never bought into the feeling that Motherwell fans are any more indifferent or indeed harder to please than any other fans. We just notice it more because we are them and they are us. Most supports with a broad demographic will produce similar percentages when asked to make decisions on various subjects. Its like politics. Nobody really gives a f#ck about local elections cause its roads, bins etc. When it comes to the big decisions more people tend to sit up and take notice. Still a piss poor return though.......

Its not revisionism , all im saying is that , If the same thing happens with Miller, the beneficiaries will be the same ie Miller financially and career wise, the club financially so everyone is a winner. Of course all that assumes that there will be no acceptable bids received this transfer window, time will tell on that one.

Exactly. Miller and his dad have shown they know exactly what they are doing. Clubs are very aware of him (hence the bids we knocked back in January) and his agent will be bigging him up every day. As I have said before, it's 2 months before the window closes, and these types of deals take time. Plus, of course, Lennon has to want to join one of the clubs making an offer.

I agree 100% with your first statement. Thats just the way it is in many organisations and the Society is no different. In town planning consultations for example response rates of 1-2% are commonplace, maybe even the norm until the shit hits the fan and bulldozers threaten to appear next door. Some truth in your second statement. Undoubtedly online information overload is a factor. The Society Board though cannot and will not accept your line of thought. It won't get anywhere by blaming the fans.

Have we just exchanged our new manager angst with Lennon Miller angst? I get its the close season and there isnt much to talk about, but no need to be getting worried The boy has an agent who will be making sure everyone in Europe is aware of his availability, over and above the clubs communications. The kinda clubs with the money to buy him dont have League Cup games to prepare for in 2 weeks. They will be in no rush.

Loads of people are happy to chuck a fiver/tenner at them a month and not give a fuck about the minor operations they know nothing about. The 85% who didn't vote are the folk who will complain at the first opportunity. Motherwell fans aren’t exactly the easiest crowd to get on board with stuff. There are a select few who are seen every where, a few locals and that's about it. It now seems a hassle for some to read and click a few buttons.

Agree turnout is very disappointing. Reasons need investigated so we can at least try to drive up engagemement. Unfortunately rules and regulations are not very "sexy" to your average punter, but I would have hoped for higher numbers than that.

Definitely this. While all the necessary information was included in the voting package, it wasn’t particularly easy to digest or navigate. Perhaps something for the Well Society to reflect on. Yes. Otherwise there’s a very real risk of consultation fatigue setting in, especially when combined with the constant stream of weekly updates. There’s a balance to be struck in engaging members.

Yes, it was a very clear vindication of the board's proposals, insofar as it went. They don't come much clearer than 95% ish support. The response rate was indeed very poor and worrying. The Society has a job on its hands to get many members to vote on any issue. That said, it was quite a complicated, difficult, and lengthy consultation, and for many, perhaps a bit academic. You make a good point about those not contributing monthly and that needs to be investigated. It would be interesting to see an analysis of the % contributing /not contributing againstthe respsonses to individual questions. Maybe the Society has become a bit divorced from many members, who just want it to support putting a competitive team on the park? If so, its not an easy situation to rectify. Time to get back to basics?
