    It can indeed, would just be slightly surprised if SPFL licensing allowed free to air webcasting of any games, geo-locked or not. But I'm sure our media manager is on it... oh, wait

    Hmm. Wonder how that'll work for live commentary, and I guess we can kiss goodbye to our promised live video coverage outside the UK...
  3. Twitter is hardly the place for in-depth analysis, so I don't mind that. Though "we're gutted about the result" is kind of the football equivalent of the "I'm sorry if you were offended" type of apology.
  4. He does have a published squad number, it's 13. http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/players/first-team/
  5. Quite possible Clarky would be paying his own way, a busman's holiday in the sun with some of his old mates and the possibility of a contract offer at the end of it probably wouldn't be the worst way he could spend a few hundred quid.
  6. Confirmed by the man himself on Twitter earlier today. https://twitter.com/Muzz363/status/482913665621164032
  7. Depends. How much more money do you think we'd lose if morale was worse so we finished 10th?
  8. I'm sure we'd have a lovely day. (Somebody had to say it.)

  10. I can get to Bangor on the ferry in three hours from here. If it wasn't for the fact I only get back from my summer hols that morning I might have considered it :/
  11. That's pretty substantial for us, in the ballpark of what the board said was our expected loss for 2013/14. Would certainly be nice to have effectively wiped that out in one go.
  12. Good bit of business by the club I suspect. I was never really convinced Anier was going to set the heather alight with us, and McCall certainly hasn't let us down with bringing in goalscorers so far. So let's see who he's got up his sleeve this time.
  13. And do they get to announce it themselves?
  14. See, if folk would just read the website... http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2014/06/11/fulham-friendly-confirmed/
  15. It's too late for questions... the board already know, they've made it pretty clear for the past couple of years that our finances are on the slide, and when they told us the possible financial implications of booting out Rangers, some of which are arguably now coming to pass, we agreed to live with it on the basis that the alternative was unpalatable. It's all about coming up with answers now, and they're rather harder.
  16. It's a tough one. On the face of it £25 is steep, but cut that to even £20 and £8 for kids and you need to increase the gate by 25%. Would it really encourage an extra 1000 people to go along on top of the 4000 or so who probably will anyway? Past history suggests there'd certainly be no guarantee.
  17. From today's Scotsman: http://m.scotsman.com/sport/football/english/roberto-martinez-motherwell-shaped-me-as-manager-1-3429707
  18. Depends whether anyone wanted the promotion I suppose. Not everybody wants to be a manager, and for that matter not everyone who wants to be is much good at it... I've been working 21 years now and managed to avoid it so far, no' saying for which of those two reasons though

    Board Statement

    'Flow said on Twitter this morning they're planning to do it on an international weekend later this year, couldn't do it any earlier due to remedial work on pitch to host Women's International in June.
  20. Either that or Brendan Rodgers has stubbed his toe or something.

    Board Statement

    Hopefully somebody who's actually doing it can tell you for sure, but I believe you're paying up the one-off fee first and don't become a member (or get the benefits) until that's paid in full. Whether you can pay the annual fee in instalments after that, I dunno -- but it's kind of moot, as AFAIK you remain a member whether you pay the annual fee or not.

    Board Statement

    I'm sure it's not just you. For some folk following a team is something to do now and again on a Saturday, for others it's a way of life. We all fall on different parts of that scale, and shouldn't have to justify that position to anyone.

    Board Statement

    Me too -- I took it to mean £100-200k, which would be the same order of magnitude as the two other recent losses.
  24. So, how long until he has a bad game and starts getting abuse because his brother went to Sevco...
