Can I just say I am MIGHTILY impressed by our club today. After my mini rant on the forum last night they got in touch and told me to email in the morning. Then Leeann phoned me back and took my booking personally over the phone. I picked up the tickets this afternoon. Top class customer service, she was adamant that she wanted to ensure all 'real fans' get tickets so said to pass on the word to others if they are in a similar situation. It was only when I got to Fir Park however that I realised I was in my Ireland rugby top (being from Ireland although having lived here since I was 8!) and with my G33 postcode I was expecting to get jumped by a bunch of steelmen thinking I was a celtic fan. But alas I got the tickets safely enough and went and spent some money in the shop just to round it all off. Really impressed and now really excited! MON THE WELL!

Reading this is so infuriating. I have been a season ticket holder for the past 5 seasons but couldnt afford this years one and my wife has been one for the past 2 seasons and couldnt afford this one. We both entered the ballot for 4 tickets and have heard nothing at all since. Yet so many folk who entered it later / dont even support the club are getting tickets?! GRRRRR!

Was in the garage in Glasgow (feeling mighty old) during preseason this year the day after the flamurturi game and met Jamie Murphy! Shook his hand and said well done on the hat-trick but he looked mighty shocked that someone recognised him! Seemed a nice enough guy tho... 2 years ago met Stevie Hammel n Buzz in the Corinthian in town. I was quite shy but the wife went right up and chatted with them, I followed her across n chatted to Stevie who was a gent. Buzz was wearing the gayest Cardigan ever tho which my mates found quite funny! Anybody ever met John Boyle either? We met him on train on way to Easter Road for CIS semi, top bloke but the limpest handshake ever!

You're lucky! The 2nd of July (2009) is my wedding!

I am stuck in 2 minds about this.... absolutely delighted we in Europe but (like Clarky!) I arranged my wedding for this summer confident I wouldnt be missing any Well games! But guess when Im getting married.... 2nd July! I have already suggested we get the match on a big screen at the back but it didnt go down well! Plus we our on honeymoon in Ireland for the week after that so even if we drew a N. Irish team there is no guarentee i could go... Having grown up in Belfast and being a Linfield season ticket holder till I moved over here 15 years ago I would be GUTTED if we got Linfield and I couldnt go! But hey... WE'RE ALL GOING ON A EUROPEAN TOUR!

I agree that Stevie has looked much better the past few weeks.. For the past few months he has been well below par I admit but I think he comes in for a bit much flack sometimes... He has contributed far more in the way of quality crosses recently (for Clarksons call on Sat and 2 v Caley?) and I too thought on Sat he was a lead canditate for MOTM before he got jumped! And how on earth is the fact he was booked after 45mins make any sort of difference to how good a player he is?! If getting booked was a sign of being rubbish then legends such as Cantona, Keane or even Leitch or Big Softy must be pish! Seems to me its just another chance for an easy dig on Hammell...

The last 2 games tho he has been playing at RIGHT wing with fitzy on the left for most of it!

Tickets gone!

I been down to the ticket office this morning and collected my(and my fiances) free tickets for the EAST stand on Saturday. We are using the 2 adult tickets for our mates but if anybody can use the 2 kids ones then give me a pm and Il give them to you before the match! Live the dream.

Yeh I noticed that 2! But official site and spl still say Saturday... Must of just been a typo!

The last I heard he has a rare asmatic condition so that he can only really play 70mins or so per match... I think he is focusing a lot more on his church life now too. Although he might consider a move back to Motherwell as there are only a few of his types of church in the UK and one is here. He was a good guy tho... But not sure if he is what we need now...

Mind Clarky coming over to the fans at the end? Emotional times! And a right good recovery in the actual game as well! Pity it took such awful circumstances to make it all so passionate!

There have been so many... recent ones include Tynecastle last January, and the Aberdeen game last year... But 2 from Easter Road stick in my mind: The CIS Semi against Hearts where we were on for the win then Clarky missed a sitter 2 yards out and Hearts equalised only for Fitzy to score a peach of a goal to win the game! Why doesnt he do that anymore?! The other one was last year against Hibs in the CIS round bout September. I had been travelling for a few months so missed the first games of the season but was getting regular updates saying how we were a changed team, playing sexy football! I didnt believe it and when we went 1-0 down I was like, yeh wotever! But then we played some of the best football I have seen the well play in recent years with Rossco scoring 2 peaches.... Good times!

This is a very interesting point... But i find myself agreeing with faddyisgod more. In no way am I saying McGhee should be sacked after what he did last year. And we should be patient as I do believe this team can and will get us top 6. BUT I dont think the fan's need to give the manager the 'benefit of the doubt' if after lasts years performance the same manager talked himself into far better wages based on his performance over a period of 8 months. Fair enough if he was on his same contract and we were struggling at the bottom this season. But due to the fact he is now on far more I think he is well due criticism if the team aren't performing. That is unless he takes a similar pay cut this season back to last years wage if we finish near the bottom, but somehow I cant see that happening....

Ha! Well i've just got a new job in Barlanark so Im sure that will remind me more of home...
