why is it maroon!?

Why don't we do what Falkirk did and build it one stand at a time? They have a cracking wee ground now. The front of their main stand looks great anaw.

We looked like a team short of match practice plus I doubt we would have trained much over the last few weeks. I think that's the reason all the guys are looking a bit stale. Plus we've just played the two form teams in the league. Our form will come again.

What was the crowd? Could they not have shut the east and put everyone in the Cooper and O'Donnell stands?

We deserved all the criticism we got because the majority of our problems were of our own making and persisted over a prolonged period. The postponements in recent weeks have been caused by unprecedented bad weather, and as a result the media and governing bodies are quite rightly giving the clubs who are suffering a bit of leeway. To compare the two is just ridiculous IMO.

Chris Humphrey came out and said this should have been done behind closed doors unitil any investigation had been completed. In saying that I think they must have pretty good evidence for them to have gone public in the first place. Maybe Jenno mentioned to his family that he fancied a longer xmas holiday and to get it all he had to do was get sent off. What's to stop one of them going out and putting money on a red card on the back of that?

Give it a genreation and noone will care who Caley & Thistle were. We've all got an attatchment to our clubs but what we're talking about here is the long term future of Scottish football.

I don't doubt that. I'd find it hard to watch anyone other than Motherwell too. I just get the feeling the decision is going to be made for us. It won't be long before teams are going to the wall left right and centre, then those fans will have a hard choice to make. It's change or die. What would help would be for the TV money to be split evenly between the 12 SPL clubs! It's all the Old Scums fault.

Motherwell Accidemical. Has a nice ring to it don't you think? Would you say ICT has been a success? Discarding over 100 years of history/tradition is never going to be easy to stomach but for me the alternative is watching the majority of teams in Scotland die a slow and painfull death. Things are not going to imporve without radical action.

[quote name='steelboy' date='Dec 18 2010, 09:52 PM' post='250940 so fuck the wee teams? who are clubs like montrose or albion rovers hurting? the people that run them, their players and their fans obviously enjoy what they're doing so why not leave them to it. Of course not. Noone. You're assuming I'm talking about wee teams. Dundee is a perfect example. Having two senior teams in that city is nothing short of madness. Just because it could accomodate both teams 100, 50 or even 20 years ago, when money didn't rule football, doesn't mean it can now. All I'm saying is we're struggling to accomodate so many teams. We just don't have a large enough football going population anymore.

It's not just those in power we need to streamline. For a county our size we have far too many teams and leagues. IMO the fans are spread too thin.

We have too many leagues and too many teams imo. The sooner we accept we are a small country and consolidate the teams that we have the better. These larger teams could filter into the various english leagues and then we could tap into the big money TV revenue. Anything has to be better than what we've got the now and what we're being told is the way forward by the SPL and the McLeish review.

bring back the bevy

Christ we must be skint!

I'm sure it said it was full price on the day.

I'd ask him to fly up from Brighton for talks then when he was at the departure gate tell him "Na we've changed our minds ya arrogant cock of a man"

Which they will probably end up advertising on this site.

I never felt comfortable about the way he always referred to us as "Motherwell" in interviews and never as "us" or "we". So much for him being an honerable man.

Sutten is definately worth holding on to. Has always done well for us and he deserves another deal.

if this weather keeps up we're going to be playing 3 games a week for months!

in my ecperience the receptionists at most NLC leisure facilities are some of the most unhelpful people you will ever meet.

I heard Casagolda kicked all oor yella fitba's over the fence at shootin practice and we cany afford tae buy any mair. That's the real reason the games aff.

It's the easiest and prob cheapest way out.

There's only one way to sort this out......... FIGHT!
