Quite like the look of home/away kit 2 although I imagine it would be difficult to incorporate a solid band/hoop.
-
Didn't have a chance to follow the game but what a terrific result, with an injury time winner making it all the sweeter. Full credit to the players for grinding out a result. I was worried the absence of McGhee and Robinson during the Internatonal break would result in us not turning up today. Gutted I'm going to miss the visit of Celtic next week.

Is Hall injured?
-
Good news regarding Campbell. He's clearly highly thought of by the club. Hopefully there will be some good news to follow on Ben Hall.
-
I thought it was well advertised but would agree it was a tough sell. There can't be too many of us who that were there in 91 that still take an active interest in Motherwell.
-
Despite my deep reservations, I've bit the bullet and signed the wife and I up. Lasley's slot on the podcast last night done the trick.
-
Absolutely brilliant. Top podcast. Top captain.
-
Note that Hibs made Pat Stanton an honorary member of the equivilant organisation today. This compliments s number of ex players they have on board to lead the group. Wonder if we will explore a similar route. Getting ex players on board with 1 or 2 playing an active role would certainly help lift the profile of the cause.

It was evident at the time that Law had played his last season as a right back at the semi-professional outfit, despite being a midfielder by trade. That set off a few alarm bells regarding McCall's judgement at the time.
-
Thanks for sharing Superward. Sensible and responsible approach outlined. However, I imagine it will take some juggling of figures to prove that we are self sustainable on the worst case scenario while making repayments to LH and matching the ambition of McGhee.
-
Boyd was my 1st ever hero. His antics before the cup final in 2011 ruined the occasion before the game even kicked off. Hope there is a decent turnout for tomorrow night despite coinciding with the Scotland game.
-
I really like Kennedy. He's prone to an error but so was Hutchinson. On Saturday I thought he looked more comfortable with the ball at his feet. Indeed the first goal stemmed from his willingness to create. Credit to McGhee. I feared that Laing and Kennedy were getting treated a tad harshly since December but the managers' approach seems to be having the desired effect on the pair of them now.
-
A bit of a silly question maybe but once the fans have 75% share in the club will the WS definitely still exist as one group representing that shareholding? Personally, I know the offer of individual shares has always been there but I may find it more enticing now if we are fan owned to invest that way, particularly if I continue to be unimpressed by the WS.

With many folk receiving upwards of 100 emails a day, there has to be multiple forms of communication to meet your audience. Having said that, I never miss the weekly updates from Motherwell or the First Minister (there's an example of paying £5 a month and feeling fully engaged in a progressive and informed environment).
-
If he could stay fit I'm very confident he could score goals at this level no bother.
-
Good challenge. Not sure if the most recent but I seen you mention the 3-2 McHugh game at Easter Road on Facebook. The week before Rocco Quinn put Ross County ahead at Fir Park before we went on to win 3-2. Doesn't quite match the criteria of your question but a couple of comebacks that immediately spring to mind.
-
Win this and then top 4 becomes a distinct possibility. Slight concern is the absence of McGhee and Robinson for much of the next fortnight. Hopefully the players enjoy their rest and can then pick up from where they left off.
-
Louis Moult. Outstanding!
-
Brilliant result against they bottle merchants. I absolutely love Louis Moult. Delighted to have taken advantage of the very generous 4/1 on offer.
-
Just about stripped myself off the ceiling after returning from Cheltenham. 3-2 Motherwell. Skippy, Moult and Ainsworth. Nae bother.
-
Just returned from a few days down south. I've kept an eye on here but has there been any word on a meeting with the fans? I thought something should have been announced in conjunction with the club statement on Tuesday evening. As I've said I've little interest in fan control. I am however interested in holding those in control to account. If that means joining up in order to have a say, then so be it.
-
In principle, I am open to fans having a share in a club. Primarily to prevent a rogue chairman running riot. My stance stems from being a numbers man. While I have no interest in Motherwell fans being the majority shareholder, If I seen any sign of strategy or feasible financial projections that could offer a glimpse of potential success, I'd put my heart before my head and invest.
-
I don't think many top clubs in Scotland are self-sustainable in the true sense of the word. We certainly haven't been. For such a plan to get off the ground you need a suitable buffer to cover lean times. Les, the club and WS all signalled this over a year ago. If we want to be truly self-sustainable and operate at the corresponding level, then that's another debate.
-
Still a no from me. 1. Motherwell does not have the fan base to be self-sustainable, particularly in the current climate. 2. The WS has not been ran in a competent manner and does little to engage fans in key decisions. 3. Given the departures in recent years, it's highly debatable whether we have a sufficiently experienced Board to run a football club. 4. We have not accumulated the working capital that was deemed necessary in the eye of an optimist to make fan ownership plausible. 5. I'm a fan, I support club to the hilt and over the course of 27 years my family and I have spent a serious amount of money to support my hobby. And it's been money well spent. However, I have no interest in our club setting a precedent for fan ownership when 99% of British clubs have been owned by Businessmen and women for 100+ years.

Writing has been on the wall for some time. Precarious times ahead unfortunately.
