weesacs 95 Report post Posted December 16, 2011 surprised it hasnt been posted, but this is fantastic gesture by the club, especially at this time of year when the pennies are even harder to come by : Fans of @MotherwellFC look out for a statement coming soon from the Club announcing free transport to the huge Xmas eve game at @JamTarts.We need a huge and vocal @motherwellfc support on Saturday and for Xmas eve to back the superb efforts of our team and management in 2011. will it persuade an extra few hundred to travel? hopefully so, my only fear is that its not "all ticket" - this ruins any atmosphere we are able to create well done Motherwell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wellfan1984 305 Report post Posted December 16, 2011 Any word on cheaper entry as I see Hearts are doing a type of 2for1 offer (think £25 for two home games over this period) and it says "all areas of the ground"... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our end is £23 for adults on the day, but if you buy a ticket up to the day before its £20. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And in the spirit of Christmas, for every 10 quid you spend, 1 pound will be donated to the salary of a Hearts player of your choice. You will also receive a photo of the player you sponsor and receive regular updates on his progress during the year. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finlay 166 Report post Posted December 17, 2011 Cracking gesture by the Club. Hopefully the SA will benefit from it as well and we can look forward to a large (and vocal) support at Tynecastle next Saturday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definetly a train day for me aswell. It's an excellent gesture of appreciation from the club to those that've made our away support the undeniable presence that it is this season.

Augh! 1 Report post Posted December 17, 2011 Can non-supporter association members use the buses? Or do you have to join? No anyone can book a seat, it's usually just that it costs a wee bit more if you aren't a member. I haven't been to an away game yet this season; I'm looking forward to seeing us win a game.

Rant over It's an incentive (albeit a small one) to buy your ticket up front and boost the gate. Tyncastle is, in my opinion, the best away venue in the league. I'd gladly have that pigsty (minus the main stand) lifted, disinfected, dipped in domestos, scrubbed, disinfected again and plopped on Knowtop Ave as a replacemant for the creaking ark. Great venue 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finlay 166 Report post Posted December 20, 2011 As far as match chat goes I'd take a point from this I think. Hearts have had an odd season so far losing more games than they have won or drawn but they have the best defensive record outside the OF (14 goals conceeded in 18 SPL matches). Certainly when they are getting beat it would appear to be by the odd goal only. We have had a cracking run at Tynecastle since the last league game of 2009 so hopefully that continues. A point on Saturday and three at home to Dunfermline (hopefully) on the 28th would be a very good way to end the year. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve £3 quid isn't my gripe , do you honestly think that if it had been £20 pay at the gate we would take less of a support ,could even be argued we would take more and every Motherwell supporter would benefit.

Dont think buyin your ticket and savin 3 quid will add much to the support, free buses will put some extra bums on seats. Should have been 20 quid for everyone though.

johnstone 783 Report post Posted December 20, 2011 As for the game. Hearts had a good result against SPL fodder in Dunfermiline but against anyone half decent they have been poor. I think if we can keep our current away tactics then it should be a close game. Same team as that started against St Mirren. Would be tempted to stick Omar up front and put Murphy on the right wing.
