Another "Motherwell man" with the Club's best interests at heart...or a delusional former Director encouraging others to sell the Club and Well Society up the river? https://x.com/AndrewWilson/status/1809938150984175995

Me. Scotrail cancellations led to extra unnecessary pints.

Everyone involved in this investment proposal needs to just admit that they've been caught with their hands in the cookie jar (deliberately or accidentally) and stop this charade. Pursuing it, on these terms and with those involved, will surely only cause more damage to a community-focused club.

Shots fired! https://thewellsociety.uk

Unfortunately, it seems that McMahon has already set that train in motion, and the blame for any disaster will be on him, not the fans.

A few observations from yesterday: Much like last season, we have zero width and no plan B. Miller is a different class and will be sold soon. Without Bair, we don't seem to have anyone capable of playing the solo striker role. Someone please tell Kettlewell that Paton isn't a Spittal replacement. Gordon is a great signing and should start every game as the main CB. Why do we have so many injuries? Again. Bigots everywhere. The League Cup games will help determine the settled 11.

Get fucked, you weirdo.

I'm glad someone appreciates my work.

Jesus Christ! I never thought a fellow Well fan would quote the scriptures at me on a Saturday. I'm off to the pub.

I've lived in South Lanarkshire for 39 years, so I think I know a sectarian bigot when I see one, and I am certainly not one of those. Maybe my comment above touched a nerve. Sorry about that, I’ll do better next time, as I wouldn't want to hurt those spreading hate.

For those with concerns, here is the route that leaves from outside the stadium at full-time. It's hunbelievable that this is allowed. https://maps.app.goo.gl/gaaXH5uTUAfBkxHo7

Due to the vile, inbred, bigoted scum of Scotland having several marches today, with one being close to Fir Park straight after the match, any advice from Motherwell locals on which pubs and areas to avoid before and after the game would be appreciated. I am from Lanarkshire and used to this shit, but I want to double-check before I jump on the train and potentially get caught amongst the unwashed and uneducated masses. https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/roads-streetlighting-and-parking/roadworks-and-closures/public-processions/public-processions-july-2024 PROCESSION DETAILS DATE OF PROCESSION: 6 July 2024 ORGANISATION: Motherwell Orange & Purple District 25 LOCATION: (TOWN/VILLAGE) Motherwell ASSEMBLY TIME: 9.30 am START TIME: 9.45 am PROPOSED ROUTE: St Vincent Place, Milton Street, Woodburn Street, Mill Road, Merry Street, Menteith Road, Pollock Street, Merry Street, Hamilton Road, Muir Street, Milton Street RETURN PROCESSION (IF APPLICABLE) ASSEMBLY TIME: 4.45 pm START TIME: 5.00 pm PROPOSED ROUTE: Knowetop Avenue, Windmillhill Street, Brandon Street, West Hamilton Street, Hamilton Road, Muir Street, Milton Street APPROX.

You've probably saved me £55, but that may not be the case later on once I've seen it in the flesh with a few pints of the make bad decisions juice in my belly.

What due diligence? McMahon et al. should be ashamed of themselves.

Tom Feely's professional bio needed a wee update An avid Motherwell supporter, Tom is one of the founding board members of the Well Society. The main purpose of the Society is to acquire a controlling share in Motherwell Football Club on behalf of its members and the wider community. As a Director and Secretary, Tom is actively involved in working with the Club SHAFTING THE WELL SOCIETY, fans and local businesses to increase DECREASE membership and generate LOSE income to eventually allow the fans to own their own LOSE THEIR club! https://feelyaccountants.co.uk/meet-the-team/

I’m sorry if some of you feel that way, although note that I’ve not directed my ‘stupid’ or ‘gullible’ etc comments at any individual fan. However, I stand by my view and I will always call a spade a spade when I see one. This is emotive; our Club is at stake yet some people (see social media) either cannot or refuse to see the obvious. They are allowing the well-presented facts of the deal to be obscured by their opinions. We all want what's best for the Club and, to me and many others here, the facts of the deal are not the best for the Club. It's an obscene proposal.

And the flip side to this. If Barmack's offer is kicked into touch by the Well Society members, I will double (maybe triple) my monthly direct debit and do what I can to support/encourage the new WS Board to deliver on their plans for the WS and Club.

To address each of your four paragraphs: We'll likely enter administration, again. The land will be sold, as he's a businessman, and then he'll bail out. Then we'll become North Lanarkshire Community FC in the WoSFL at Ravenscraig in the Tony Macaroni mk2. Yep, it's like politics. The average voter is stupid and has the memory of a fish. See point 2 above.

Yep. His risk register below is pretty telling on what happens if WS engagement falls. This section reads: we're aware that the local community will stop investing in the WS but we don't give a fuck as we will secure international WS members. That option is about as sustainable as having a wank with sandpaper gloves. His delusion and lack of care for the local community created and curated by the WS are limitless. It's game over as we know it if this goes through. Category Fan Engagement Risks Potential Risks Rapid decline in fan engagement and support Inadequate revenue generation leading to financial instability Mitigation Tactics Regularly gather feedback from The Well Society to understand their needs and preferences. Develop loyalty programs and exclusive content to keep fans engaged and invested in the club. Push subscription efforts for The Well Society outside of Scotland.

The average voter is stupid and easily preyed upon by devious careerists (see Barmack's strategy document). Barmack knows what he is doing here, and the gullible will nuzzle into his hoop. I predict that a lot of us will be cancelling our long-standing Well Society direct debits in 2.5 weeks (because why the fuck should we fund a private investor's plaything), that the Society, therefore, won't be able to meet its investment contributions by year 3 or 4 (what happens then? nobody has adequately answered), that Barmack will have had his fun and achieved his actual goals by year 6 (to profiteer at all costs; he's a businessman with an unhinged ego), and that the Club will be in dire straits when he sells us up the river (there will be no Society to pick up the pieces). Be very afraid, as the long-term future of our Club is close to being put in doubt by a bunch of easily-led turkeys voting for Xmas. I hope I'm wrong, but aspects of the GE results tend to justify my point.

I don't think the Exec Board understand numbers or percentages either.

The Well Society's latest update (from a new website by the looks of things): https://thewellsociety.uk/?mc_cid=08df14fae0&mc_eid=ede5027643

Yep, I was in the same boat. There should also be tickets reserved on the online ticketing portal for your season tickets seats for the two League Cup home games. Like last season on the physical card, I assume, if purchased, that these tickets will also be loaded onto the digital pass.

McMahon has shown himself to be a bitter, arrogant, condescending prick through this debacle and will now leave his position with a very stained legacy. What a fucking idiot. It's all been entirely unnecessary and avoidable.

I chose the digital season ticket option when I renewed in May, as I couldn't be arsed with the physical card anymore. I just received an email today with links to download the digital pass either via Apple or Google Wallet, so that's my season ticket now safely downloaded and stored in my Apple Wallet. Very straightforward.
