I think for the CIS they just told you to change at Newton, sound advice as it cuts out about 30 mins from your journey if you're going straight there.
Aye that seems to make sense although does restrict the time of departure considerably.

Will there be any more flags made available? The first batch must've gone pretty sharpish.

The trains can run from motherwell to Kings Park or Mount Florida .BR used to run footie specials from motherwell . Can remember going on them.
I stand corrected. I assumed that the lower-level/upper-level tracks didn't join.
Plenty of standard train options though.

Healy has never amounted to anything at club level. Ridiculous record for country but never really got going at any decent level of club.

are they putting on footie specials from motherwell ?
Not as far as I'm aware. We're just headed in to Central and out again. Isn't it a different line so a direct train couldn't actually run?

The trains won't be forced to be dry will they? Could have a tinny en route if that's not the case.

Scarf up in my bedroom window in Thornton, West Yorkshire...
...and it'd fallen down by the time I got home. Will try another option tomorrow. Not really too keen to trap it in the shut window though.

Scarf up in my bedroom window in Thornton, West Yorkshire. It's a very claret scarf so I want to find my old quite amber pendant to hang under't.

Have the Cup Final flags sold out now? They seem to have disappeared from online shop.

I take it there fans have went quiet?
Na still pretty vocal. Couple of decent saves from young Hollis.

I'd maybe imagine that technically all the tickets have gone already BUT a fair proportion of those tickets are duplicates where several people in the same family have entered the ballot but only one of them has accepted tickets. This would mean that the club are waiting to hear back from people who aren't going to accept tickets and would thus free-up tickets for others.
When I got my confirmation email, I immediately phoned my Father to see if he had got one. He said he had and that he would order tickets. I didn't reply to my email until I had received word from him that our tickets had been delivered. That was only a matter of 24 hours but for some people that time gap could be a couple of days.
It's shite but be patient. I'm sure everyone will get a ticket.

Oh Aye, plan for the day god knows, but at a 9pm kick off, should be wrecked by the time of the kick off.
Won't most Well fans be the same way regardless of the time differential?!
Weekend plans - father picking me up from work around 2.30 on Friday and heading straight up. Hopefully reach hotel in Hamilton for around half six. If we get there in enough time then will head over to the Supporters' Club shindig but if not then perhaps drinks elsewhere or visit family in Larkhall. Saturday morning - breakfast and then heading out to FP fairly early. Father wants to visit a few of the old places he used to drink in back in the 70s and is hoping to meet up with a few old cricket pals. Then train out to Mount Florida for some reason or other. Probably be there for two or three hours before heading back into Glasgow for more drinks and curry.

Thanks for all your words in reply to my post.
Where are all the newest tickets being allocated? Those of you who have also just got tickets - is it mainly blocks B6 and B7 that you will be in?

My Father has received our tickets (B6) so I have cancelled my ballot success. That's two more tickets freed-up.
I have to admit, we are two of the fans who have technically 'crawled out the woodwork' for this game. Not because we are fair-weather fans but because my parents now live in Somerset and I live in West Yorkshire so getting up to Fir Park is currently pretty difficult.
However, my Father was born within a literal stone's throw of Fir Park and grew up supporting the Steelmen. I was born in Claret and Amber. My first ever football match was Celtic v Motherwell at Hampden in 1994. My Father's reply to the ballot email was: "I can now fulfil my promise to my son Ewan, made when I took him to his first ever match -- 'Well at Hampden in league 1994 against Celtic, 2-2, both ours from Tommy Coyne against his old club -- that next time 'Well got to the Cup Final I'd take him. I think that, age 23, he's now forgotten, but a promise is a promise." We have seen a few Well games in the years since that and my last trip up was for Phil O'Donnell's Tribute Match.
We haven't been to enough games over the years so I will make a promise, to all the Well fans pissed off by the fair-weather fans turning up for the Final, that my Father and I will make sure that we get up to a minimum of a game a season from now on. And the game we come to will be the one that fits best with our lives and not the most glamorous game. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but for us it is - for my Father it's a distance and time thing and for me it's a financial thing.
I hope that I won't be shunned on here because of this.
'Mon the Well.

Sod all on Official Site. Perhaps kept under wraps to evade non-Well fans/touts.
