The closest we have at the moment is probably Craigan.
-
I've stuck a couple of quid on a draw. Decent odds on that.
-
Derby day is always good, especially when we're on form.
A good tanking wouldn't go amiss.

There are well over 1.5million people within a 25mile radius of FP, however the majority of them pledge their loyalty to the Sectarian Twins.
The majority may follow the Old Firm, but I doubt that many of them actually go to the games.
I know a good few people who proclaim to be Celtic or Rangers "fans", but who wouldn't hand over £20 to see them, never mind whatever their charging these days.
-
Christ...
If those "glory hunters" hadn't forked over their £20 and came to the game i'm fairy sure we'd be reading complaints about no one showing up.
The simple fact of the matter is, Scottish football isn't value for money anymore.
There are much better things to spend your £20 ticket money on at the weekend, plus you can sit in and watch world class football on Sky.
Until this changes and we see reasonable ticket prices for more than the odd game here & there, we'll continue to attract the same core of fans as we always do.

I like the deal that Clyde are doing with their season tickets.
Something like that could work for us.
-
Criticism is one thing,that clown was screaming for point deductions which if he had got his way would have cost us our place in the Europa league,worth thinking about when your all fawning over Motherwell's new best friend.
Get a grip, eh?
No one is "fawning over" him, all were saying is that having the show at Fir Park, and giving the game some publicity and the club a bit of backing is no bad thing.
-
It possibly depends on us qualifying for the group stages of the Europa League, or Mark Reynolds leaving though.
If Reynolds leaves wouldn't our priority be getting in a decent young defender to take his place? Or do we have anyone waiting in the wings of equal quality or the potential to be as good?
-
If we can afford him then I would say sign him. If he can get his form back he would be a great player for us.
It depends on how much he's wanting.
There may be better players available who would fancy a crack at the Europa League and want the same wages as Gow.
-
The major stumbling block over Gow's re-location to the SPL is thought to revolve around his wage demands which might price Saints out of a deal.
Wouldn't that price us out of any possible deal as well?
-
I'd personally take the group stages and the money that brings in exchange for a finish of 8th or 9th.
I don't think we will be involved in the relegation dogfight.
-
Question, would you take relegation in exchange for us qualifying for the Europa League Group Stage?
More realistic question, would you take a bottom six finish in exchange for us qualifying for the Europa League group stage and earning a very significant amount of money?
-
Are there really Motherwell fans listening to Real radio who don't know we are playing next week?
No, but there may be neutral fans who live in the area that may fancy heading along to the game.
My point is, having them hosting the show from Fir Park isn't to the detriment of the club at all, is it?
If they advertise the game and even one neutral punter is convinced to go along, then it's been beneficial to the club.
It's absolutely ridiculous to say that they should be told to take a walk just because their show isn't the most captivating and supposedly "anti Motherwell".
I always thought such nonsense was the premise of Celtic fans?
-
fair enough then
Seriously though, do you think that there is actually anyone who is thinking "I was going to go and see Motherwell play this weekend, but I remember that bloke from the Real Radio phone-in was saying negative things about them, so i'll give it a miss"?
-
how many punters did they turn away from attending Fir Park with all the negative stories over the years
Erm, none probably?
-
Despite all of that, i'm sticking with my original viewpoint;
If Motherwell were stupid enough to tell Real Radio to piss off (and I doubt they will be) it really would be rather sad.I'm guessing the club will make a little money from it, and it'll probably mean some free advertising for any tickets that remain for the game.
Good stuff.
-
so are you defending a radio show, that you don't/have not listened too?
No, i'm not.
I'm asking a legit question.
-
I'm assuming that the businesses involved would be paying the club for the promotion and the custom that such a deal would bring to them then?
I mean, the season book offers something at half price, for example. How many fans are going to consider going there because of that deal?
-
It used to be mostly non old firm calls, but it gradually drifted into the domain of the insane.
Did non-Old Firm fans just stop calling in?
-
He really wound me up a while back and I stopped listening to the phone in as it is the real radio old firm whinge in.
Wouldn't the fact that both Rangers & Celtic fans represent something like 80%, if not more, of Scottish football fans kind of explain why it's mostly Old Firm fans who ring the show?
-
Part of me wants the "floating" fan to stay away.
This statement strikes me as being rather odd.
Why would you want anyone to stay away when they are willing to part with cash to watch Motherwell?
-

Glad to hear it.
A little bit of recognition for what we've managed to accomplish this season in Europe so far.

Without doubt, but people just don't have the money to go to games anymore.
