Mmmmm.....if that diagram is accurate then the vast majority of Well fans in the South stand lower will still be under Celtic fans. Would it not have made sense to give us all sections in south stand upper above the Motherwell fans ? Or did the club not think we could sell an extra 2000 or so tickets ?

The middle sections of top and bottom tiers are the debenture/hospitality seats, so not likely to be sat under the green brigade or anything.

Its been mentioned in the club press release they secure the top tier above the Motherwell fans, and it was an important thing to them (based on feedback from LC final presumably)

Eh? It's literally right outside. All other independent coaches are parked towards Victoria Road on Langside Road and walk via Queens Park Drive and Cathcart Road.

Is the official bus park at Hampden only for official MFC buses? If not, where would we get passes for this car park?

Hopefully Season Ticket Holders and Well Society Members get choice of best seats.   For League Cup Final we were given Row E behind goals and beside part of the Singing Section that spent whole time standing on seats and not even watching the game.    Definitely not going on Buses from Fir Park as for League Cup Final we were on a Double Decker similar to one Cliff Richard drove on Summer Holiday.  End of moan...........

They sell row by row do they not? If you were sat in Row E behind the goals, what difference would the singing section standing on seats and not even watching the game spoil the viewing? You would have been looking straight at the pitch or should have been?

As for the bus... it's a 30 minute hop to Hampden, surely as long as it gets you there?

Hi onthefringes,   at league cup final the guys standing on seats were row in front of us so it did restrict our view even though row E is terrible regards where you are.  Harsh lesson learned.   Anyway bring on the cup final and hopefully a memorable victory,. COYWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

The 2011 final showed that you are eventually selling to Rangers fans and people who don't even like football. Our support that day was pathetic, definitely the worst out of all the trips to Hampden since 91.

 

The main thing was to ensure we didn't have Celtic fans above us (which Burrows did fuck up last year) and he got that. Hopefully with our support being a bit more compact we'll be louder than 2011.

Burrows did nothing of the sort, but, don't let that get in the way of your rhetoric. If the uptake was there, the powers that be wouldn't have given the tickets over to the opposition. Same may be the case this time, but, a fairly straight forward bargaining tool to use as the organisers have agreed.

Let's get them sold.

Because......

Because on twitter he started by praising celtic and the SFA for being "fair" when in truth we got what we were more than entitled to . Also he was asked why we didn't ask for a toss to be given a chance of the east end of the stadium. He was palmed off by the sfa and celtic basically. It might not seem a big deal to some people but we are needing someone with balls who will challenge the authority's up here and get us out of the dark ages.

I think what we’ve asked for ticket wise is fine. All Motherwell fans who want to be there will be there.

in 2011 it was clear there was a number of rangers supporters there as I recall a number of poisonous chants all over the place and a Union Jack getting unfurled and then being swiftly removed. 

This is our final and wee don’t want it wasted by folk wanting to go just to shout bigoted bile to Celtic supporters.

Burrows has done the right thing in my opinion!!
