I'm starting to think that maybe JBA doesn't like a single plastic straw on artificial playing surfaces.

The gaffer

If Alexander was putting together the sort of winning runs we are currently seeing & making the team look sexy as fuck while doing it, he would have been judged differently as well.

Kai Andrews linked with Hibs loan move. https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-hibernian-agree-to-sign-coventry-citys-kai-andrews/ He had something about him. Like many with footballing ability would probably prosper in our current setup.

It's funny, when Alexander done thst we called it Tombola. When JBA does it he is a genius 🤣🤣

No chance. 5 games in two weeks means the Great Load Balance will commence with 5 changes minimum!

Same team as last week I would start COYW

🥁Boom boom

Pretty sure he will know how and when to play Pinocchio. Part of the job spec.

When the seating is replaced unless Mr Caldwell is a dead ringer for Pinocchio. A return to match thread will be most welcomed

So by that token when do we revert to bottom tier only to preserve the overused top tier? And are they currently refreshing the bottom tier?

It’s as if the club hierarchy weren’t open in their explanation of preserving lifespan of current seating infrastructure 🤔 Wear and tear, refreshing by blow torch take your pick 🤷‍♂️

Occurs to me that only using the upper tier when numbers dictate is all about reducing the likelihood of fans invading the playing area and confronting home fans, players and staff. How much abuse would our keeper receive when retrieving the ball? Also restricts the possibility of objects/pyros being thrown onto the pitch areas and players officials being injured. Makes practical sense to me given that Clubs are expected to take all possible precautions to avert crowd trouble. And quite honestly I don't care a toss if visiting fans find it difficult to create an atmosphere. Think back to that Celtic game where all sorts of mayhem erupted with our players being confronted on the pitch. Did our 'top tier' rule not come into play shortly after that game? I would happily bar the OF from the bottom tier as well but money talks I guess. And anyway, does anybody really believe Motherwell fans visiting any away ground are given a prime location where it can be avoided.

Poor choice then, would like to know how much they save per game on polis to see if we are cheapskates or not. Still makes club look stupid to our away guests. Who would know nothing of this.

As opposed to loads more when the arsecheeks visit.

Less police needed if they are up top

I agree with you about: the kettle.👍 Wimmer. 👍 JBA. 🫡 COYW

Poor state its in , its not really that old in football terms . It takes away the proximity of away fans to us and the game, keeping then up there which lessens the atmosphere. It also looks poor on tv. But I'm sure there is an ulterior motive for it we don't know about . Probably financial.

Thats a separate issue Allan, although I agree with you over that. Even when away fans are allocated the upper tier at Fir Park e.g. Killie last Saturday, they are given the entire tier and can sit where they want, without being restricted to specific parts. Last Saturday it must have been only 20-25% full? This Saturday we'll see sections almost full with maybe 2/3/4 empty seats with latecomers i.e. arriving after 2.50 struggling to find a seat yet, Livingston won't open up another adjacent vacant section.

Our CEO said one of the reasons we don't use it is because of the poor state it's in. I imagine that matters less when the OF fans are ripping out seats before they leave. I don't think it's the only reason.

Naw , its better to have us all kind of tightly packed in together it feels like ground is full of well fans and a better atmosphere . But the away fans on the top deck is a pathetic effort for the last few seasons, anyone any idea why this is the case. Can't need repaired as the fans of the arse cheeks use it.

Is it not still in need of some serious repair and remediation?

Pardon 🦻

Off topic a bit but if we continue to get great crowds is there scope for opening part of away stand for home fans? Hearts, hibs and Falkirk all do this.
