A great win, best game at Fir Park this season by a country mile. I agree with an earlier post about ZFA not being a left back. I pointed out to my Dad during the match that we had Mick, Hutch and Hammell all in a line along the defense and ZFA was further up the park than the entire midfield! He doesn't know where to stand at times and leaves us open at the back, he's excellent around the opposition penalty area but a liability near his own.

Solid win for the Well, wasn't the prettiest but a wins a win and is sometimes more chararacter building than a 5-1. I fear our run may stop at 6 in a row given we've got Celtic next but we can still go and give it a right good go.

I know but that's what I mean when I say we need to find a structure that works for us. What the Germans do, we can't but there is money out there, perhaps not on the same scale but money is out there that given the correct amount and distribution, would allow for clubs to charge less at the gates. Besides the pricing issues is just one point, there's a lot more that can be done to bring the punters in.

Good to hear we have some private backing that is allowing us to sign players we wouldn't necessarily be able to otherwise. Leann is right, we should be grateful we have such a close knit club and people willing to put their money where their mouth is for the club's wellbeing, I hope it continues.

We need to test pricing structures further as part of a wider investigation into how to get the crowds back into football grounds, I'm convinced there is some sort method that can be applied in Scotland. Some German teams have found a pricing structure that works for them, and it's no coincidence their clubs are experiencing a mini revival on the European stage, especially BVB and Leverkusen. There's more that can be done, 8000 as a long term goal is achievable, if we got around that figure and at the same time increased our revenues we'd be well placed to retain our Premiership place and fight for Europe regularly.

Been looking through the attendance figures at Fir Park for the last 10 odd years, we're down to averaging about 5000 over the course of the season despite having some successful years on the park recently. Part of the decrease recently can I guess be attributed to Rangers not currently being in the Scot Prem. What do we need to do to get more people through the turnstiles, any ideas? I know a lot of people will say "we've tried" but we can never stop trying. It's not just an issue for the club itself to deal with, it's all of us.

Hi folks just joined Noticed as well after we play Aberdeen on the 25th of Jan we won't play again until the 15th of Feb. Inverness have the League Cup Semi on the 2nd of Feb and the Scottish Cup on the 8th then back to normal on the 15th. Doesn't look like we'll be playing them any time soon, guessing we might play them between the 22nd of Feb and the 1st of March. Wouldn't be surprised if McCall arranged a game between the 25th Jan and 15th Feb to keep the players ticking over.
