Cup Final Fans Display

Recommended Posts

 

Back in another final so we're hoping to have another impressive fan display. I know many on here were very generous back in 2011 so I thought I'd post here again. It's a high target but with various fundraising efforts we will hopefully get there and raise some dosh for the Society also. Post below:

 

 

 

Since our inception our aim has always been to bring colour and atmosphere to Motherwell games, both home and away.

 

Over the years we believe our contribution, both vocally and visually, has had a positive impact on improving the atmosphere at Fir Park however we understand this would not be possible without the backing and support we have received from the wider fan base . For this we are forever grateful.

 

On many occasions we have organised choreographed fan displays. These displays are often costly and are more often than not paid for out of our own pockets or through donations, again from generous Well fans who share our vision and support what we are doing.

 

As the Betfred Cup Final fast approaches we would like to ask our fellow Motherwell fans to dig deep once again and donate towards another display. On Sunday 26th November we want to want the players to emerge from the tunnel to a sea of Claret & Amber. This is only possible with your help!

 

We have an initial target of £4,500 which should pay for all material costs, postage and delivery. Once this target is achieved we will then donate any additional funds raised to The Well Society which will be doubled by Les Hutchison.

 

Thanks for your continued support. SIWY!

It cost a bit more than that but not a significant amount more.

 

To give a bit of background to the 2011 display. It was heavily subsidised by the printing company (I believe they actually took quite a hit on it) as the owner was a relation of a Motherwell legend. This company has since went out of business.

 

The display we had against Pano cost more than the 2011 one and we only filled the east stand.

 

One of the main issues we have with materials is that it's extremely difficult to get claret & Amber off the shelf from most retailers. We then have to get our Pantone colours printed.

 

We're aiming high fundraising wise this time & will see how we get on!

Some interesting names in the donations list...who knew Jacob Rees-Mogg was such a fan... :lol:

 

And if the names are real good to see some current and former players on there and atleast one wife of a player. Excellent stuff!

 

Yeah even Pedro Caixinha and Cardoso's nose were ever so generous to donate.

It's a well known fact that when he was at Eton, Rees-Mogg ran the Motherwell Supporters Club

with almost £4k banked there is a chance that this initial target could be achieved within 24 hours which would be a tremendous boost to everyone involved and help keep the buzz driving on.

 

I'm not sure what seeing players, staff, executives and directors, Pedro :ph34r: , the SFA compliance officer and hundreds of Motherwell fans chipping in indicates, but its a nice feeling!

 

go on , join in !
