  1. We won't cos there's too many old fuddy duddies, old before their time, boring old farts etc etc but keep on doing what you're doing lads.

     

    The percentages of old fuddy duddies etc. at Fir Park as probably the same as most places. The difference is in total numbers. 10% of the crowd participating at Fir Park is a lot less than 10% of the crowd participating at the Stadio Olimpico.

  2. Different and nice.

     

    But my immediate first impression was how nice that would have looked if it was simply white with the claret and amber flashes.

     

    The philosophy:

     

    “When you think of a Motherwell away kit, it’s almost always white, claret or, on occasions, black. However, we were very keen to try out something a little different in this, our 125th anniversary year.“

     

    “The idea was actually initially suggested as a way to mark twenty years since the 1991 Cup win with the silver/silverware link.

  3. By that do you mean a few more ads in the program for cash convertors in exchange for a free hd knocked off by a smack head?

     

    Or by an ISP giving us some free bandwidth etc.

     

    If we were to do full delayed coverage rather having to employ people to do commentory, could the club not allow fans to submit 2 minute recordings of them doing it and the best could get to do a games commentory in exchange for a ticket to the match, signed ball and a name-check in the program?

     

    I don't really need to hear 90mins of Forbes is shite, Humphrey canny cross a ball. I'd settle for just the live stream.

  4. Can't help but think that this will turn out to be anoth missed commercial opportunity - how many fans (kids & adults) would have loved to have the new top on their backs for the season starting?

     

    I doubt it will affect the overall number sold.

  5. The cost for the club to produce this for overseas fans would be more than money recouped!

     

    If that was all they were doing, that would be true. However, if they were going to use the footage to replay on delay, show highlights etc. to UK based subscribers that would be available to everyone, then streaming it first wouldn't be such an overhead.

     

    We wouldn't need full production values, commentators, action replays and the like.

     

    Still might not be viable, but it's amazing what you can do with a cheapo HD Camera and a decent internet connection these days.

     

    Or, of course, they could enlist the help of a sponsor.

  6. Don't see how they could do live games for non Uk residents but not for UK residents. And as live streamed games could have a knock on effect on gate receipts then i don't see it happening unfortunately.

     

    Pretty easily done (just try and watch telly on BBC iPlayer from outside the UK). Of course, you can often bypass it with a proxy (although not always), but I'd be happy to pay for a stream if it helps the club financially, and I'm sure there are other ex-pats who would be happy to do the same.

  7. It might not be up to the management it might be this disastrous community committee that has final say.

     

    From what I have read so far, that's not how the committee will work. We'll end up with one vote on the board for matters like this (if we are allowed to vote at all).

  8. The french guy who scored 2 goals yesterday was a forward, but the other guy who scored 2 against falkirk was a right midfielder.

     

    Sign them both! Cover for our strikers and a goal scoring midfielder. Excellent (as they say in France).

  9. Aren't we supposed to register both strips before the beginning of the season?

     

    I'm sure the club knows what the design will be though, so it shouldn't hold up the registration process.

  10. why o why do we always have issues with new kits.

     

    It's to keep the complainers happy after their disappointment of everyone getting a Cup Final ticket after all.

     

    Same with the season tickets. Panic every year, and yet every year everybody seems to get one before the SPL kicks off.
