Higdon wants to stay: http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/spl/higdon-is-hoping-to-sign-new-well-deal-115320n.20178451

Just received my financial statement for the year ending May 2012. The club made a "significant" loss of £599,919 for the 2011/12 season, mainly due to No transfer fees Exiting the cups early No income from Europe Higher than expected bonus costs due to the excellent league performance Legal costs for Well Society formation The report states that the club is in a strong position relative to many others, but that "we cannot continue to run the risk of repeating losses of this size", and a full review of costs is underway. Any benefit gained by cutting costs will be offset by a reduction in income due to Rangers not being in the SPL. Apparently if we were to add an average of 1500 fans to each home gate, the loss would disappear.

Just received an email from the 'Well Society:

I quite like Friday football actually. Each to their own I suppose.

Sounds like Hateley might want to stay too http://www.wishawpress.co.uk/wishaw-sport/football/motherwell-fc/2013/01/23/in-the-dark-motherwell-ace-tom-hateley-waits-on-contract-talks-76495-32661022/

Emailed Leeann Dempster to ask about this, and to be fair to her she replied very quickly with this:

Yep, it's a bit ridiculous that a fixture can be moved with only 11 days notice. I've actually specifically arranged something for the 29th, thinking that the game would be the following night. Now I won't be able to make it. Fair enough if there's a valid reason for the switch, but surely a bit more notice could have been given.

Can't believe that Sky Sports have gone for Rangers v Elgin.

Wait a minute. The games are in December???

Any word yet on being able to vote "in absentia"?

Disagree with this completely. Ojamma was holding the ball up brilliantly and was exactly what we needed to relieve the pressure. Murphy came on and did nothing.
