Rickoza Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 The Motherwell stadium is pictured here... Motherwell Stadium Looks to have even less grass than ours. Could you imagine if our stadium did match this and it was a cold, wet, windy November midweek.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Made Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Personally, I hope that the SFA is going to help relay the pitch after letting Scotland Players prepare for South Africa by allowing them to play on our pitch this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 It'll be interesting to see if locals going along to watch the training will actually be allowed to stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numpty Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Having been to Motherwell in South Africa, I can only hope any teams practising there are employing some decent protection... it's a bit of a murder hotspot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordy Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 World cup stars. Lionel Messi, Christiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Raul and possibly, Kirk Broadfoot will be playing at Motherwell next summer. Motherwell Stadium is being used as a stadium for warm up games. The stadium which is eerilie like Wishaw Sports Centre and has a surface which is slightly better than Ayr beach but ten times better than Motherwell fc's own Fir Park surface. Lionel Messi says as playing surfaces go I prefer Fir Park as it reminds me of playing football on the beach in my youth. Kirk Broadfoot agreed as he loved Saltcoats as a wean!!!
