Showing my age, but growing up in Hamilton there was never any doubt that they were our derby team regardless of the league. We always had the Lanarkshire Cup so we played them, Airdrie, and Rovers every year.
Having said that there was always a good crowd when we played Hearts. Both teams played very good entertaining football and the games were always tight.
Can never imagine anybody but Accies. My crowd had it good because the fixtures had the teams always opposite so it was Douglas Park one week and Fir Park the next.
Fir park crowds were always 14/15k except for Hearts 16/17, and 30K plus when the hooligans came in from Glasgow.
Great times, but must admit the pace of the game then would not stand up today, and oh yes we lads had a great time standing amoung the away supporters and having good natured banter with them.

We should salute the team after a very good performance against such a talented and skilled opposition. They are an experienced and very good team, and our youngsters (reminiscent of the Ancell Babes) got stuck in. Really enjoyed the game, and in the end the score didn't bother me.
On this form I feel really comfortable that we'll be just fine when the season starts.
Hope there's a much bigger attendance next game, and I was really impressed by how they clapped the lads off the field. Hope we do the same and let them see the best of Scotland.

What's disappointing is everybody saying early days. Sure not a shot at Gannon, but the team has been allowed to disintegrate before our eyes for weeks if not months. But face the facts.
We really wanted to get into Europe. Llanelli showed up at our home game and everybody thinks we ran them ragged, yet the wee team wins with an away goal. And of course we're going to kill them down there!!
The biggest problem Motherwell has always had is taking teams like that for granted...and I go back to the 50s. Even at the end of last season they didn't show up when they could easily have been in the top six.
So the dream is in danger and our only hope is Gannon getting into their heads that the next game is a must.
In the end its about guts on the pitch. If they don't go down there and win lock the door and play the Lanark Team, or Shotts and save on the salaries some of these chancers are stealing.
It might have been July 2nd for us, but it was also July 2nd for them!
