1 small section of cover behind both goals...with cover being added on the touchline from 18 yard to 18 yard during the summer

Not a bad idea at all this for anyone not going to Tynecastle Bellshill Athletic having a great season, and have a really good set-up

They probably went for as big as they thought would realistically pass planning and not annoy the posh neighbours into objecting too much .

It is better than what we currently have, any improvement has to be a good thing.

These plans look absolutely fine, I don’t know what folk are expecting, it’ll never be Murray Park or Lennoxtown. Budget wise, the plans look good and it shouldn’t take long to build/get in place.

That's the spirit!

Doesn’t seem transformational to me. Upgrading a grass park to 5G? and a new building barely the size of the existing changing rooms isn’t really going to make much difference other than the players and chef no longer need to report to fir park during the week. very much a low budget option, albeit maybe somewhat spooked by what Kilmarnock got for their (Bowie’s) investment

The main proof of that is the extra crowd numbers turning up at matches now and if you contrast that to the crowds starting to dwindle away during the kettlewell era , even the diehards were getting pissed off watching that rubbish. I know what I prefer to watch.

Controversial 😂

Great news...this has always seemed the most appropriate answer to our training ground conundrum, to me anyway. The pitches at Dalziel are good...the lack of proper facilities have always been the drawback.

It seems that the club has applied for planning permission for build new training facilities at Cleland on the site of the current but basic provision at Dalziel Park. https://eplanning.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=TBUC9BBAN5700 Thanks to Standupforthemotherwell on P & B for posting this. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone on here. This development is long overdue. Its well known that interested parties can object to planning applications, but maybe not as well known that any party can also submit letters of support. Have a look. I'm just surprised, that as this is already in the public domain, the club hasn't announced it yet.

Aye, I was going to say something similar. As much as I despise the OF, it's the TV companies that the SPFL and SFA care about rather than those 2 clubs. Especially at this stage of the season.

That's not a con. That's proper football.

I cant believe we are having this debate, what type of football would you really like to see at Fir park, the eye bleeding hoof and chase under kettlewell, or the free flowing, tippy tappy passing, playing out from the back, rock solid defence (mostly) etc under JBA, i know who my vote would be for.

They have a great clubhouse,and bar experienced the hospitality last year as you say well worth it

Rumour has it that, another preseason friendly between Bellshill Athletic and Young Motherwell might be arranged for some time in early July.

If JBA goes on a 16 game run without a win soon, then maybe we can start to compare! Ketts was very good when he first came in and took a struggling team and got it functioning again. But the wheels very quickly came off the bogey after that. My use of the word legend was in response to Grizzly being picked up on his use of the word and was tongue in cheek. But Im not having him compared to Kettlewell (yet).

Even Thorniewood United fans go to watch bellshill , cant see any accies or airdrie fans coming to watch the well.😂

Do the hospitality package, recommended.

As we dont have a home game on Saturday, Motherwell fans can get their Saturday football fix at Rockburn Park Bellshill the home of the second biggest team and second best run team in the shire. Get along and cheer the Athletic on to victory in their quest to win the West of Scotland league division 2 title where at present they are 8 points clear at the top of the table. Bellshill Athletic v Maybole Juniors = kick off 2pm Rockburn Park Bellshill . Admission price = Adults £7 ( compare that to what price you pay for an away ticket for well matches) Concessions = £4 The chairman of the club is David Brown who is a big Motherwell fan, and a number of the playing squad are well fans also. PROS cheap admission easy parking on north road or any of the side streets off North Road Better referees( not much but they are not up their own arses like the ones in the SPFL) NO VAR ALCOHOL available in the clubhouse(pies , snacks and soft drinks also available.) good atmosphere. NO BIGOTRY CONS no seats not much cover but the sun always shines in Bellshill ( except when it rains/ snows). So there you go , get yourselves along to the Rockburn on Saturday and you could still be home in time to catch the second half of the well game on your firestick.

Agree 100%. The solution is for fans to hit the TV companies where it hurts... in their wallets. Unsubscribe! I did so years ago and have never regretted it.

Totally agree with Your post I am in the same boat as You.

TV money is all they understand. We just dont matter . eg VAR

Much as I dislike the pair of them, neither Celtic or Rangers have a 3pm Saturday kick-off in their final fixtures.

Yes. Agents will be very alive to us and we should have plenty of players knocking on our door.
