Nah, I doubt there'll be many people that desperate to see the cup final that they'll pay another few hundred quid for a season ticket on Monday.

According to the club season tickets for next season go on sale this Monday, at the same time as the cup final tickets which means you'll be abel to pick up your new season ticket allong with your allocation of 4 cup final tickets.

In the middle of cup final fever it's easy to forget that we still have a handful of league games left, including the visit of the blue bigot brothers this Saturday. Now, putting the boot into the Old Firm's title hopes is always something that I enjoy, even if I do just want the season to end so we can get to cup final day! I'm going to go with a draw for this one. I can see us getting a goal or two, and Rangers doing the same.

Aye, four tickets could cost over a hundred notes, and I doubt every season ticket holder will be willing to shell that out, or have three mates who are wanting to do so. If the club go down the route of a general sale instead of a ballot I think everyone will be fine.

How is this ballot shite going to work though? If you have to get a ticket via a draw then you'll likely not be sitting next to your mates etc. What's wrong with general sale after the season ticket sales?

Typical nonsense from the SFA, shafting the so-called wee team in favour of the bigot brothers.

I think the issue really picked up pace when Leeanne posted earlier mentioning a ballot etc.

That's understandable though, as ASDA is empty and easier to get round quickly if you go when Motherwell are playing a semi-final!

Wouldn't we be hoping that a percentage of these "day trippers" who come to the final maybe end up coming to Fir Park next season on the back of a cup win? Espceially the younger members of the crowd? The fact is, anyone who comes through those gates at Hampden to support Motherwell should be given the same respect as the fan who sits through the games on a cold, wet Wednesday night in Inverness. We need to encourage more fans to get involved, not label them day trippers and tourists.

Well said Steve, excellent post.

Nah, it's the national cup final, so it should be split 50/50 regardless of who get's to the final. We shouldn't be penalised for our lack of sectarian marketability.

The Celtic season ticket holder has nothing to do with where the Motherwell allocation goes though, does he?

Has anyone actually known this to ever happen though?

Seeing as you've made just 163 posts in over two years on this forum I'd say that you should be right at the back of the line for a cup final ticket

If we get allocated 18,000 tickets, I want to see 18,000 'Well fans there regardless of how many ticket stubs they have in their collection. It's the showcase final of the season and we're in it, so that's all that matters

I'll have mines on!

I hope someone from the club is reading this! Also, surely Gaag is entitled to a free cup final ticket for coming up with the idea?

Ah well, I'm not feeling as bad now. I meant to set it to record on my Sky+ and forgot.

Nah, the Scottish cup final is the like the final frontier when it comes to television changing the kick off time. 3pm all the way hopefully!

Whoever replaces Boyle will have a big pair of shoes to fill. He's done a good job as Motherwell chairman, and even added a bit of character and personality to the position, as those who have travelled with the club into Europe can testify

I'm guessing there's a chance that our last game of the season against Celtic will be televised? There doesn't appear to be any games marked as live television games for that day yet.

That's a good idea actually.

I personally think that season tickets for Fir Park are reasonably priced.

Can I just ask, in all seriousness, why the fuck do you even bother? Why not pack in supporting (and I use that term in the loosest possible sense) Motherwell and go do something you'll actually enjoy? Or are you just one of those negative, sad sack characters in general?

Is there any information on when tickets for next season will be available? I would have thought the club would take advantage of Scottish cup final fever by getting the renewals etc out eas soon as possible.
