She said "just go if you've made plans", but does she mean it????
Of course she means it. Just be prepared to hear about it in every argument you have over the next 50 years or so.

Sticking some barriers above existing seats in one stand surely not going to cost extortionate amount.
I expect it would take more than that.

We wore the Claret shorts and socks with it in it's first outing against Rangers in the 76 Scottish Cup semi final, classy.
Even though there was no hoop, this is still one of my favourite kits. I'm getting all nostalgic now
-
If they have it in Germany, are these stadiums impacted when it comes to playing in UEFA games ?
No, because I believe the barriers are can be converted into fold-down seats for UEFA games.

Let's not overlook this paragraph:
The SPL board will now have the ability to approve any request made by a club to pilot a standing area, subject to further approval from the police and local authorities.So it's not just an SPL decision.

Same classic Admiral design, with a colour that is more pleasing on the eyes...
Aye, the Wales kit looked much better, as did the Coventry City home version. In fact, I liked the Wales one so much I bought the Subbuteo team with that shirt.

When folk slip in the winter its sometimes down to the nasty weather - no the council.
Exactly. Sometimes you just have to take personal responsibility. If it's slippy, invest in some grippy boots and be careful. If it's too slippy for you and you're making a non-essential journey (like a football match), turn around and go home.

All the stuff you can't access on the site should be enough for people to sign up.
Advertising our own TV service on our own Official web site would cost nothing. If nobody new signs up, then no harm done (and it's still positive publicity). If we get even one new subscriber, then it was worth it.
Think about the BBC and how often they advertise their own programmes on their own channel.
-
Not a complaint about the service itself, but my biggest issue with Motherwell TV is the lack of any obvious link from the official site.
If it was me, I would have a large banner across the top of the page, advertising the service and encouraging people to sign up.

Number 8, you either love it or hate it...
Coventry City Away 1978-81
I liked the design when it came out, but that particular version is hideous. It was a disgusting shade of brown that that mock-up doesn't come close to capturing.

Our end is £23 for adults on the day, but if you buy a ticket up to the day before its £20.
And in the spirit of Christmas, for every 10 quid you spend, 1 pound will be donated to the salary of a Hearts player of your choice. You will also receive a photo of the player you sponsor and receive regular updates on his progress during the year.

Stuff like this just jinxs us though.
It's probability that takes care of that. No jinxes required.

If you look at the Bundesliga, if not the best league in the world right now, its certainly one of the best. It does not have the financial backing like the EPL or La Liga. The clubs are mostly financially stable and the league isn’t overly weighed with foreign players. There are few high scoring games but the games are usually entertaining, and the league is also pretty well balanced. German football has went through the mill in recent years but has built a realistic and sustainable model.
I like the Bundesliga's financial model and think it's one that the other European countries should adopt. They do, however, have the advantage of over 1 billion Euros in TV and sponsorship revenue to share between teams before the gate receipts are accounted for.
They do try and keep the teams on a more equal footing though and the quote below sums up how that brings in the fans:
"In the last three years of the Bundesliga we have three different cup winners and three different champions," Seifert says. "Sepp Herberger, the coach of the West German team that won the 1954 World Cup, said: 'You know why people go to the stadium? Because they don't know how it ends.'"

I'd accept 1.5 million on the spot for any of our players.

Where's MJC when you want to give him a kicking..??
On his way home from the Rangers game?

Makes me start to question our youth set up, how many of our regular starters in the under 19,s have come up through the ranks .Devlin came from Dumbarton, there is the guy from spurs, the frenchman ,Hetherington im sure came from Rangers ,thats four that i know of, now were lookin at some young striker from estonia ,what about McHugh ,Smith,Lawless not good enough. Or is our youth set up not good enough.
I think it's more a case of our squad not being big enough. If we lost one or two players in Jan, even with the youth players, we'd have a very thin first team pool to choose from.
It's never a bad idea to bring in quality when it's available (assuming this guy is quality, of course).

statto.com will take you all the way back to the 1890/1891 season.

The very shirt that I helped the club shop and Bukta to produced a replica of. It was a belter!
That was back in the day when, in Scotland, it was the home team that wore their change strip if there was a clash. When I was a kid it always felt a bit special to watch us play in that white effort under the floodlights on a cold Wednesday night.

...and maybe the SPL will be able to sell TV deals for a world audience as the time slots would suit some TV stations.
I have no idea why they stopped selling it. When I moved out here in 1997 we used to get one SPL game a week plus highlights of the others - albeit on a delayed transmission.
Maybe the TV stations lost interest in buying or the SPL lost interest in selling, but I would imagine there is still a market for it on the Fox Soccer channel or similar.

was wondering about that myself until I saw that his post (if it was him?) on there reaches a few hundred more users than on here
, whats that saying about stats?Nah, he just needs to repeatedly spell things out over at FPC because they're not as smart as (most of) us over here.

I read some of 'Flow's quotes in the Evening Times regarding this game:
“Motherwell FC had a couple of initiatives in place relating to the Hibs game. Firstly, we designated the game a ‘Fir Park Football Friday’ and that entitled every Season Book holder the chance to donate a free ticket to the game to a supporter of their choosing.“Obviously prices were also reduced to £10 adults/concessions and £5 kids and I am sure that would also have played a part.
“We believe we may have had around 500 people extra on the gate as a result of these initiatives.
If 500 is accurate, then bearing in mind the 50%+ reduction in gate prices, we must have lost out financially.

Second widest (after Rangers), second shortest (after Hearts).
Second shortest and we still manage to leave too big a gap between the midfield and Higdon

9.30am sounds about right, I think ultra early kick-offs on a Saturday could be the way forward, that way we could all hit the boozer just shortly after opening time, or even head to watch our English team if they were playing in a reasonably accessible area of Northern England.
Grand ideas - but only if we play it in the middle of summer. One-off, early kick-off, Saturday morning, summer football games could tap into a whole new market.
Plus, of course, we would make it free entry for everyone just to ensure it's successful.

A wee bit surprised at that - nothing particularly special about that design,
