Claret and amber bunting being put up around Motherwell Cross and the approach roads to Fir Park ..... well done NLC ....... C'mon ye 'well

I'm sure if you dial 333333 on your phone you'll get a quicker answer (during office hours that s !) rather than posting on here.

Italix .... How dare you have the audacity to even think about posting a positive post ..... this is Steelmenonline you're on now .... no room for positivety here !

due to severe weather conditions .....

You heard wrong then ..... the club and the club alone requested the switch

I think you'll find it was a club request to SPL after consulting the police ..... the police don't decide the fixture dates.

Watching the match on ESPN just now ....... wonder if the media will focus on the state of the pitch the same way that they did at Fir Park. Pittodrie is as bad if not worse than Fir Park .... it appears to be cutting up a lot more.......

Sadly .....this is the most accurate summing up on this subject. We could leave the exit gates open and we still wouldn't fill Fir Park. Lowering prices for a sustained period will only damage the club income. We have our hard core supporters who pay whatever it takes ......

Well said Leann and keep up the good work !!!! Also ...well said to the poster re the fact that people only ever seem to complain on these boards never praise or highlight good practice whether it is about the police, stewards or club admin.

steelboy ...... I take it you weren't there then ?? The match WAS all ticket !!!

well here's hoping that attitude and approach continues .... we need as many fans as possible and the stewards and police have enough to worry about without dealing with kids who won't sit down......

He was asking for the fan's to support the club by sitting down when asked by stewards and police and explaining the possible implications for the club if they didn't........ fair play to him ....at least he took the time to speak to the fans. What thanks did he get ? ..... a lighter thrown onto the park ...... really clever !!!!

Well said 'Flow .... totally agree

I fail to see how the police, stewards and local pubs have contributed to this ....... publicans in particular would be stupid not to take the business on offer and rightly so will welcome anyone willing to spend money. Re the police and stewards I'm struggling to see your point. The keeping back of the fans in the main stand was a first I believe and knowing that some of our local constabulary read these posts then perhaps consideration will be given to holding back the south stand next time as well.

Why would you dislike them ? They haven't closed the ticket office and apparently will permit the sale of tickets up until 11.45am .... seems reasonable to me. Last season tickets weren't allowed to be sold on match day so I think progress has been made

I think nearer the 9,500 to be honest ......

"Oh no it isn't" ......

what the 'ff' you talking about ?

for those not left yet ... i've had a phone call saying that traffic on approach to Cumbernauld roadworks is at a standstill with 1.5 hrs tail back...... probably worth going over the Forth Rd bridge ......

No. 89 for me ... pride of place on top landing

My understanding is that given the very short notice given for distributing tickets at FP....MFC had posted on the website that tickets would be available to fans from club officials at the turnstiles, where details would be noted. This was apparently ruled out on the morning of the match by the local police who stated that no fans would be allowed near the ground without a ticket. This proved to be the case with some fans being subjected to no less than 7 searches enroute to the stadium. The club then took the decision to attempt to locate fans within the town centre and distribute tickets......I think this probably deserves more praise than criticism.

remember that well and if my memory serves me right (?) he also scored 2 goals against Celtic either the week before or after it resulting in us beating the OF one after the other at Fir Park..... anyone know if I'm right ???

cheers ... in Turkey just now on hols .... hopefully the live feed will work.

What is the kick off time - UK time please ?

The early figures were a 'guesstimate' a count was made yesterday..... it is just under 1200
