his debut was also as a sub was it not
He was originally a sub, but Paul Slane picked up an "injury" in the warm-up, so Hateley started.

Does every fan who has a season ticket, pays at the gate or puts any of their own money into the club doing just that.....
As for the actual poll. Nah!
Doing all those things isn't directly giving your wages to another person though, which is what is being discussed.
Season ticket money, gate money etc. covers all expenses of a club throughout the season in the same way that buying your shopping at Asda pays for more store expenses than just the wage of the wee girl on the till.

Anyone who gives up some of their wages to pay an SPL player's wage is an idiot.

It was the europe@motherwell e-mail address given in the official announcement of the charter and I gave details exactly as requested.
Charter was fully booked before the announcement was even made.
As soon as they registered even one persons interest they should have made the announcement.

Colin Stewart was the keeper when we played Morton in the cup last season.

Euro shirts and boots/gloves are £350.Just out of curiosity, how much is the Euro shirt sponsorship?
-
Some more unique things like the chance to be on the cover of the programme, spend the day with the kit man, matchday dj or press team, lunch with the first team.
Even lower priced, smaller items that younger fans could afford like signed programmes and teamsheets would bring a bit of money in.
-
No doubt there will still be shirt, boot, and glove sponsorship available. I think there might even be two or three shirts per player available this season.
I enquired about this earlier today and for anyone interested the majority of players boot sponsorships are still available along with a good few Euro shirt sponsorships.
-
For those who can afford to, a good place to start would be to either return or not take up the 'Well Society season ticket discount.

have you not been reading these threads? the majority on here - and in the society - don't care about a jot about the future of our club. sporting integrity is their priority.
What gives you the right to say people don't care about the future of Motherwell FC?
at least if we go into administration we'll know exactly who is to blame.
It won't be the fans anyway.

I may have missed it among all the various statements put out, but where does the £1m given to Div 1 get diverted from?
-
I simply dont buy into our club being part of it until someone can show me some actual proof that we were
I doubt this is all down to one man (Doncaster) it's more likely to have the backing of the SPL Board which includes one of our directors.

Is Derek Weir still a member of the SPL board?

The Motherwell support seems to have a high number of people who like watching football but don't actually seem to understand the game.
In forward areas our players are expected to win every header, always beat their man in 1v1 situations, score every shot and successfully complete every pass or cross.
However our defenders are expected to win every header, always successfully tackle the opposition, intercept every pass or cross and the keeper should save every shot.
Some people can't grasp that every team has good players and some of them might just be better than ours.

What aboutthe raffles?
The steward on my bus took money for tickets and that was the last heard about it.

McGhee to be named Aberdeen managerEXCLUSIVE: By Michael Grant
MARK MCGHEE will sign a two year contract and be unveiled as the new manager of Aberdeen in midweek.
The former Pittodrie striker will complete the move north once compensation has been agreed with Motherwell, who are entitled to around £200,000. McGhee will take assistant manager Scott Leitch with him and intends to make Motherwell midfielder Stephen Hughes, who is now out of contract, his first signing. Scotland striker David Clarkson is another who could be targeted although he would cost around £300,000 and Aberdeen's budget is tight.
Aberdeen moved quickly yesterday after Celtic let McGhee know that despite widespread speculation he would not be offered the chance to replace Gordon Strachan. Aberdeen had been waiting for clarity on the Celtic situation and as soon as they had that their chairman, Stewart Milne, approached his Motherwell counterpart, John Boyle, and asked for permission to speak to McGhee. That was granted and McGhee held talks with Aberdeen director of football Willie Miller, his former team-mate.
"There is compensation to agree but the talks were encouraging," said McGhee last night. "For me, there is an element of sentimentality attached to the Aberdeen job. This is an opportunity to manage a club where I had fantastic success and memories as a player. The same would have applied at Celtic. So there is an element of going home' about the Aberdeen job for me and I quite like that." Ironically, McGhee will land the job a decade after he was interviewed for it and missed out to Ebbe Skovdahl.
Motherwell held on to McGhee a year ago when Vladimir Romanov offered him the chance to manage Hearts and he turned them down, but they will lose him once compensation is agreed between Milne and Boyle. "If I had left when offered the Hearts job a year ago my contract would have been extraordinarily better than the one I was on at Motherwell," McGhee went on. "That does not apply with the Aberdeen job so it is not about money.
"It's amazing the number of people who say to me that the mistake I made was not going to Hearts and that if I had gone there and finished third I would have walked into the Celtic job. But last year it would have been wrong to leave Motherwell to go to Hearts. Aberdeen represents a different challenge. There is sentimentality involved for me, a bit of romance to that job."
McGhee was Aberdeen's first choice to replace Jimmy Calderwood when he was sacked at the end of the season. The club was impressed by his time at Motherwell, during which he led them to third place in 2008 and a spot in the Uefa Cup. Last season they finished seventh, albeit with more points than sixth-placed Hibs. McGhee was also interviewed by the SFA to become manager of Scotland last year only for the job to go to George Burley.
An Aberdeen striker under Sir Alex Ferguson from 1978 to 1984, McGhee played in the 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup triumph over Real Madrid. Before Motherwell the 52-year-old managed Reading, Leicester, Wolves, Millwall and Brighton.
Despite immediate speculation that former Motherwell manager Terry Butcher might now return to Fir Park, he is not thought to be a contender.
Meanwhile, a new name linked with the vacant Hibs job last night was Richard Money, the academy director at Newcastle. He has previously managed Scunthorpe and Walsall.

Were you at the CIS Cup Final in 2005?
I fail to see what relevance does that have?
We've had him plenty of times since then and I'm struggling to recall any controversial incidents in any match of ours he's refereed since that day.
-
I would rather have Mike McCurry as referee, than Charlie Richmond, Iain Brines or Willie Collum.

The prices for the Main Stand, East Stand and Chadwick Stand are the same yet only the latter has an "end on" view? The prices might be the same but the facilities certainly aren't.
I'd be interested to know if the legroom is as bad in the main and east as it it in the Chadwick.
-
After looking for prices for Rugby Park, I have noticed that Killie supporters in the Moffat stand are being given entry this season at a price significantly lower than the away stand directly opposite, despite offering identical views.
Moffat stand(home)
£15 adults
£10 over 65, under 18, student
£5 under 16
Chadwick stand(away)
£20 adults
£14 over 65, under 18, student
£5 under 12
I thought the SPL didn't allow this sort of thing to happen.
Anyone know if that is the case?

That is an absolutely ridiculous statement.
