  1. Might be a good idea for the club to put on buses for this game as half the gate money comes our way. So putting on buses would encourage more well fans to travel and it is only 25/30 minutes along the M8. £20 for a ticket and travel would be a good shout.
  2. Pretty sure parking restriction only apply between 8:00am and 6:00pm so parking should be fine for well fans in central parking areas. Just don't try to park in McDonald car park. Brilliant draw for me as I only live up the road from the stadium.
  3. Can I ask who set up the goal up? The player that contributed zilch, nadda, nothing. Unfair on the lad as one of the very few players that does actually go forward. For sure, still work in progress and things will have to improve.
  4. Absolutely spot on. If these players fit into the over all budget then we should try to sign the best quality available to us but if that compromises the future financial security of the club then I am 100% against it.Players come and go and as Stuart McCall has said he signs the best he can with the budget he has been given. And that's all he can do which is fine and hopefully having quality players at the club will only help to teach the younger players coming through.If we can't create an over draft fund for the club then should the club just increase season ticket prices 40-50-100 pounds a season because that is what will have to happen or we find another John Boyle.
  5. It is very important that we get behind the club as much as we can to help the directors manage the finances. Unfortunately football business is all based on if buts and maybes. But in business and in football you sometimes need to speculate to accumulate. Which I think the directors at the club have tried to do over the last 5 or six years which has brought some fantastic results and success for our football club.. The one thing that does concern me is the fact that if the club are indeed struggling why sign a centre half we didn't really need and a James McFadden we can't afford. If you can't afford a Porsche you buy something cheaper. That's just the way of the world and having an economist on the board you would think we would have figured that one out. Any way I have joined the well society as I could see the merit in it I just hope we can get many more to join if they can. I believe the well society can be paid for with instalments as well. At the moment we are in a safer place than Hearts are and we need to keep it that way. If you can, please join the well society. It's about securing the long term future of our Football Club.
  6. My vote goes to any of the cheerleaders. More movement and creativity than the whole team put together. Don't know what is up with faddy at the moment. Ok, right side ain't his position but needs to get the head up.
  7. Excellent victory today. A lot of side ways football from us today. Which I suppose is ok if you can retain possession and we did in the main. Vguirs and Lawson just need to sharpen there games up a bit, both got caught in possession a little too often for my liking. What a difference when anier and ZFA came on, offered that out ball that was missing for most of the game. Lasley again just worked and worked and Hollis did his confidence no harm with a great save although very central. Anier was fantastic when he came on. Started to drag the hibs defence all over the place and would defo start with him against FC Kuban and Aberdeen.
  8. Just gutted for all at the club. You could see the dissappointment from our chief exec to the bench to the fans. Fantastic seeing so many inside fir park again. Great atmosphere. The team played well at times but you could see Kuban had that little bit extra composure on the ball. We tended to rush things. If we manage to score against them in Russia it will be a miracle. There keeper is huge. One last thing. Never seen so many police horses at fir park before. What was that all about? Police Scotland try to get as much money out of scottish football as possible?
  9. Just hoping we keep it tight and keep our concentration for the first half hour. We have been unstuck too many times by being too enthusiastic, losing our shape and conceding cheap goals then spend the rest of the game trying to break down a ten man defence. Would play Gunnar in goal with a back three with wing backs. Would need to drop hammy for that though and play ZFA on the left. Midfield of las, Lawson and viguirs with Henri up top and faddy floating in behind. Subs hollis, Sutton, hammy, hchugh, carswell, Murray, Erwin
  10. Hopefully the well society is a long term thing for the club so if you can stick £15 a month away you would have the membership fee in 20 months. I know, hard to do if you just don't have that spare a month. I think a big problem is getting folk to see the well society as the club and the club as the well society. You put your money into the well society, your putting your money into the club. You put your money into the club then the club will be less reliant on hand outs from the well society. The main thing is our club benefits either way.
  11. Interesting to find put different supporter views. It seems it is going to take a long time to convince enough people to join so that our club can have a more stable future. Personally there are various ways this can happen. We as supporters can stump up for the well society to give our club a safety buffer in times of unexpected expense. our club could charge more for season tickets, food, programmes, MFCTV and the like and use that extra money to build a financial buffer. If the club sold a player, which is rare these days a percentage of the money should be ring fenced as a financial buffer as should any money earned from progression in any cup competitions. A consortium of local business people could invest together to build a financial buffer.Or all of the above. The problem in football is nothing is set in stone and all we can do is to support the club in which every way we choose.The main thing is we support the club. The well society in my opinion is a good thing for our club and has raised in the region of 400 grand. The more members of the well society and the more people we can get to support our club means a better future all round.
  12. Was just wondering if there is anyone reading this message board who is a motherwell diehard who still hasn't signed up to the well society? I know things are tight finacially for a lot of us at the moment but if you can manage to sign up or get your kids to sign up that would be fantastic. Is there other ways the well society can raise funds?Say prize draws or collection tins at the kiosks. I still need to get my second son signed up which I am going to do fairly soon. Every little helps Every new motherwell player should be made to become a member when they sign. With £100 taken off there wages in the first three months. Would be good gesture from the players.
  13. I think beer at games in Scotland will have to be explored at some point but to be honest I don't think we will see it at scottish grounds for a long time. Drinking beer at a preseason friendly and spl games is worlds apart. If you could restrict the amount of alcohol served to an individual then it might work. If you could buy a maximum of two beer tokens on entry to the ground then this would go some way to solving this.I think we will just have to rely on European games and friendliest in England for the time being.
  14. if we get Faddy on board as well there must be a chance we could actually win something. The only thing that worries me is so many of us starting to become confident for the season ahead. Any well fan out there swithering whether to get a season ticket should get themselves down to the ticket office in the morning and purchase on ASAP . Going to be a cracker of a season.
