Was brilliant IMO. And believe me if these boys were not with us we would be already down. I sometimes really despair with our support.

Ok let's all go to ice hockey or rugger! Can't wait

Yes 2nd half we were crap 1st half if one goes in different game.was same at fir park game was tight then we get 2 quick ones game dead.what I was disappointed with tonight maybe more than anything was the amount of well fans leaving at 20/15 mins to go.yes we are crap just now but I can never get my head round that.support the team whinging does not do any good and I am as sick as anyone. I know people will say it's up to players to inspire but let's help them too.if we give up then they will also.COYW.

As it says we need as many fans at remaining games as possible and prices should be priced accordingly.£10 for adults and £5 for everyone else.also everyone who comes to these next 3 games as well as season ticket holders will get ticket for playoffs if they wanted one which again I hope would be priced accordingley . playoffs now look almost certain even for an optimist like myself but if we are going in them lets get some momentum built up before then. We cannot afford to have hibs or Rangers if it is either of them taking over our ground in a playoff.give them 10% of tickets and we will get same for their ground.a one off game with them will yes generate 100k from their fans if we give them 4k tickets but if we are relegated that figure will be much much greater in losses. What's everyone thoughts. Ps although 2nd half tonight was dire goals change games and we had plenty chances in 1st half to be in lead.we are not finished yet.COYW.

I dont but ask yourself this. is there someone you know who is a motherwell fan who didnt play at school.do you value their opinion the same as someone who played with you from when you were young. Yes everyone is entitled to an opinion but I go to watch ice hockey and basketball but I dont know much about it so I would not comment or in regards this forum talk pish on the tactics and ability of players as I never played it.

leanne sorry but you and others in my opinion know FA about football SM imo has been our best manager since mcghee.if you remember with mcghee we had mccormack.clarkson.porter all mobile forwards some who moved to CB era and then onto murphy.higdon.humphrey.ojamma.we used to have lots of pace on wings and also lasley was younger in cent mid.we have lost a lot of players and there is lots of holes to fill.this season was always going to happen given our budget.keep the faith COYW

Well said mate loads on here I feel likely never even played football at primary school.And dont anyone give me that you dont need to have played the game to have an opinion. Thats maybe true that you dont nd to be a pro to have a knowledge of the game but if you were not a player at school for example then my opinion is you dont know what your talking about. We have had a great last 7 years incomparison to our peers now the so calledfans whinging like little girls.Get a grip we are 6pts above relegation when playing crap.

haha well said tassanari. as iv been blown out water with this my next topic will be summer football which I am all in favour off. watch for fireworks!!

Ok ill admit defeat on this!!! Even though I dont agree with a lot of it haha.

dundee utd seem to pick up some gems from the lower leagues and usually young with a sell on value.I cant remember the last time we did this.

can someone please show where someone says it will cost millions.I have now saw there was a debate on it 2010 and 2013 and no mention of millions because of the slope.

You are obviously an engineer with experience of astroturf laying pepper. Stop making things up and have a normal debate. Go onto the hearts fan site and see the views of guys who work in astro laying industry and also their support.

massive benefit out-side hiring the pitches out to the public is the fact that all the youth/academy teams can train on the surface during the week and play their youth league fixtures on it too. Which is a massive cost saving for the clubs in the SFL, most of which don't have a training academy. I dont know but i would imagine it cost for our partnership with braidhurst.Partick Thistle for example are paying out a large chunk in hiring pitches for all the youth-sides, where as Stenhousemuir or Alloa aren't. question to ask ourselves.1, would it give our players at all levels an advantage however slight over other teams we played on it.2 would it be financially viable and beneficial for our club. And the answerto both questions is yes.

The negativity on here from some who have there main reason as"just coz" is laughable and I for one only hope our club leaders do not have the same attitude.some of you are stuck in the dark ages and also footballs traditions are in danger of slowly killing the game as we know it.as saw by an article in daily record a few wks ago showing that ice hockey at braehead 3k att and basketball at emirates 1800 att people are getting involved in other sports at the expense of football.

Some interesting points but I have still not heard a valid reason why not. Also if we forget about the advantage football wise I think it would give us. How as a going business concern can we only utilise our main asset (the stadium/pitch) on only 20 times a year it is madness. Our club from youths to 1st team should be at fir park for all training and games as we do not have finances tohire other pitches.

Del I am100% with you I would prefer grass all the time also but we dont have finances to give us a consistent surface for training and games. Other teams are gaining an advantage and will continue to do so. fizoxy you are right in that some older players would not come of that there is no doubt but most young players now are brought up on these parks and so are more used to them.

Totally agree steelboy sutoon needs to play within the area of 18 yard box where he can score he does not have speed to go in behind whereas big erwin can yes he is raw and inexperienced but I honestly see something in this boy I just feel he needs a chance.

Thank you fizoxy so thats one myth blown out the water although yes it is only one mans opinion.i think his statement that elite coaches and players do not like it makes total sense. Our players are not elite whether they like it or not and I seriously hope none of them feel they are.

Exactly our training parks will be I would imagine be very bumpy maybe someone with knowledge can help me on that but I have seen them from afar and they are in no wayas good as fp either in august or january anastro would be same allyear.

Del as much as it pains me to say it we are not top level football we have average gates of 4 to 5k and that has been same since I started going nearly 30 yrs ago. You contradict yourself when you say great for technique and skill. Is that not what football is? Also as far as injurys that has been proven is a myth do you seriously think big clubs who have them in france russia usa etc who are very rich would risk their players on them. The injury thing is brought up by teams managers and players who are looking for an excuse before playing on them.

What teams are you meaning? Are you telling me that a team with all respect to them Alloa would beat certain teams in the championship who have international players if it was not for their pitch.
