“Welcome to our great wee club”.

Nauseating

Yip! and every bit as cringey as the patter that equates following us to riding a rollercoaster.

Nah Larkhall hands definitely only have 5 fingers

He's no finnished he's only 32.

I read we signed Slattery on a 2 year, 10 month deal for a fee of £220k. It was a English Twitter account that posted the details. If true, that 3 million pound interest free loan from the Scottish government is getting battered like a student who's just been approved an overdraft!

A very good article on sky sports about the involvement of the club in the local community we should be proud of what being achieved, a fan owned club for the benefit of all the fans. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11796/12366284/motherwell-chief-executive-alan-burrows-on-well-in-scheme-that-puts-community-at-the-heart-of-the-club

Another transfer made it over the Finnish line.

Is that a Larkhall hand you've got there?

The Celtic fans aren't too happy with him going by Twitter and Kerrydale. He's too slow apparently. I watched the game and he wasn't great but it was his clever touches that created their two best opportunities which Forrest squandered. It looked like the Danes were playing for Extra Time from kick off because they knew they had superior fitness, a consequence of scrapping the away goals rule.

Everyone who doesn’t get a ticket should post on this thread.

Mine just arrived a few mins ago. I'm in my usual stand, but not my regular seats.

For a club of our size, fan base annual turnover etc we have done well over the years, we have been in 4 cup finals since 91 and been unlucky to end up playing the best team in the country in all of them. There have been three 2nd place finishes, numerous European adventures, and a champions league qualification to enjoy, yes we were having a laugh with that one. Every other team in the country apart from the ugly sisters would love a record like that, along with continual premiership status for over 35 years now I think. So taking everything into account I think we have been and still are one of the best run, if not the best in the country, so if all that meets the description of punching above our weight then I'm happy with that.

Well that's fair. We need to be well run, our average position is possibly above Hearts who have far bigger support than we do. Probably Dundee United as well. Our being well run has us closer to the teams with bigger supports than others with similar supports (killie etc) but still the biggest factor in success is over the long term is money and the best way to get money is from the fan base.

We are at the level we deserve to be at, we're the 7th or 8th best supported team so we should be there. The issue is when folk lose their shit when we finish 10th as of its a disgrace and not just part of our natural cycle. Over the past 20 years our average league position will be 7th and our cup performance will be probably around 7th best. We've never had the lows of relegation like so many of our peers but also not had the highs of a cup win (though or 2nd place finishes in the league are unmatched by any of the smaller clubs, these aren't as good as cup wins).

Some clubs pretend to be "more than a club". Others just prove it with their actions. Bloody love Motherwell!

2 thousand? I think we should have been prioritising a general sale for the home support first. There are plenty regulars who don't buy a season ticket.

I was thinking more about the one hand with 10 fingers you were counting with.
