What's the story regarding the BT Sport graphic? Edit: http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/hibernian/hibs-hit-back-at-bt-sport-over-betfred-cup-advert-1-4591141

There's 30 busses leaving from fir park so that's at least 2000 going.

Slightly off topic, but sounds like Accies don't have their troubles to seek... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-41615050 SPFL club Hamilton loses 'substantial sum' in fraud 45 minutes ago From the section Glasgow & West Scotland Share this with Facebook Share this with Twitter Share this with Messenger Share this with Email Share Super Seal StadiumImage copyrightGOOGLE Image caption The club has not disclosed how much money is missing Football club Hamilton Academical has lost what it described as a "substantial sum" due to fraud. The Scottish Premiership club said its bank and the police are working to identify those responsible. A criminal investigation has been started. A statement issued by the club said its directors will provide funds to meet its financial obligations until the investigation has been completed. No figure has been given for the total sum of money missing. The club said: "At this point it is imperative that we remain calm and work together as we go through one of the most difficult situations we have faced as a club." A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We can confirm a complaint has been received regarding a fraud and officers are currently carrying out inquiries into this matter." Sophisticated fraud The Scottish football authorities have said the situation is "very serious" for the club. SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: "Hamilton Academical have informed us that they have been the victim of a sophisticated financial fraud and that Police Scotland are carrying out an investigation. "This is clearly a very serious and unfortunate situation and everyone in the game will hope it can be resolved quickly. "We will be monitoring the situation closely and working in conjunction with Hamilton Academical in the days and weeks ahead." The SPFL warned clubs in August to guard against online fraud, after Annan failed to receive an £18,000 payment from the league at the end of last season. The funds had been paid into a fraudulent account and police launched an investigation after the money was retrieved.

Ex-Coventry ace Rose missed last Sunday's 1-0 defeat by Aberdeen due to a hamstring strain and - although he is recovering from this injury - he is doubtful to face Thistle for other reasons. Robinson said on Thursday: "Andy actually trained yesterday again. But his wife's actually gone into labour as we speak so family are priorities. "Hopefully everything's ok with him and his wife so we just have to play that one by ear." Elsewhere in the Motherwell squad, goalkeeper Trevor Carson is doubtful with a slight knock but sixth placed Motherwell otherwise have a fully fit squad to face the second bottom Jags. And Robinson and his boys are desperate to bag three points at Fir Park. He said: "With the international break coming up everyone's desperate to get three points and go away for two weeks or 10 days. "You go away with a lot of belief, happiness and spirit in the camp. "So it's an important game for us in getting back on track in the league. Hopefully we end up looking upwards instead of down on people. "I think Partick have had a tough start to the season because they've played a lot of the top opposition in the league. "I've watched them three times already this season live and they're a good side, with good players. "And Archie (Thistle manager Alan Archibald) has done well consistently. "I'm expecting them not to be down the bottom of the table so it'll be a tough game. "We know every time we play them there's not a lot in the game as well. "We've looked at them, we've studied them and we know what we have to do to win the game."

Agreed. The atmosphere at the 2011 Cup Final was terrible. Too many day trippers. The score didn't help of course.

http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2017/09/01/update-from-the-chairman/ Update from the ChairmanFriday, September 1, 2017 It has been hectic at Fir Park over the last few months, with the management team extremely busy reshaping the squad for the 2017/18 campaign. We have seen a significant turnover of players, which isn’t exactly the way we want to do things, but was necessary in this instance to refresh the club and give us a renewed look and feel. I want to praise the efforts of manager Stephen Robinson, Head of Recruitment Martin Foyle and COO Alan Burrows, who have worked tirelessly to move players on and recruit players in. Early signs are extremely encouraging, with the club having won seven of the opening nine matches, and with a Betfred Cup Quarter Final against Aberdeen to look forward to later this month. Away from the pitch, the Board has also been faced with some decisions around players potentially exiting the club. Since late May, we have received eight separate bids for three different players, Ben Heneghan, Chris Cadden and Louis Moult, all of which the Board has rejected until we sold Ben to English Championship side Sheffield United yesterday afternoon. The primary reason for the bids being rejected is that they haven’t came close to matching our value for the player. When we assess value, which is always subjective, you look at the timing of the bid, the impact on the team on the pitch, the morale of the squad and supporters as well as our ability to source adequate replacements against the financial terms on offer. With the exception of Sheffield Utd’s yesterday, each bid failed that test. We have gone on record as saying this club will not just accept any bid placed, that we will be far more aggressive in trying to retain proper value and will only sell if we believe it’s in the best interests of Motherwell Football Club. Only then do we believe we can get proper value for players, both now and in the future. There is a good feeling around the club at present. That doesn’t just happen, it needs to be worked at and we have a team who are prepared to do that. To continue this good work, we will need your support as fans and ‘Well Society members, effectively owners of the club. Over the next few weeks, you will see a number of initiatives launched by the Society designed to help continue with this policy, which I strongly believe is essential for the club to prosper in the long term. Together, the club, its fans and its players can continue to grow and ensure a healthy, sustainable future. The future is bright, the future is Claret and Amber! Best, Jim McMahon Chairman

Possibly one of the Sheffield teams.
