I pay my subs to support the club financially.
Given the list of candidates that were suggested on here after Robinson left, I certainly wouldn't trust the "owners" to select another option.
Perhaps many others that pay, would actually like a say in the running and if the "Elected/Appointed Board" fail to do so adequately then what's the solution ? Rebellion ?

Motherwell FC - fan owned ? Yes ?
If like most of the fan base, the majority of Well Society members are not happy with Alexander, lets put that "ownership" to the test, and push for his departure. Otherwise, why pay your subs ?

All these pals speaking up for Alexander reminds me of the uproar regarding Hibs and Ross. The vast majority of Hibs fans had had enough of Ross....their boards at the time were very similar to this one......but the media were aghast. As were fans of other Clubs, including ours.
But in truth the fans are not fools and know what they are witnessing week in week out. They know when it is time to act. As fans of Motherwell, Craigen and Faddy are much more in touch than the likes of Coyle and Nevin.
Very well put mate

Sitting in a bar in Sligo alongside hundreds of well fans and watching an utter feckin shambles. I was up for giving GA the benefit of the doubt but after that 1st half display he has to go.
We are totally devoid of any attacking threat even if Sligo had not scored we would never feckin score its a feckin ridiculous performance to be thoroughly outplayed over a game and a half now by a team Currently 5th in the Irish league ffs, just let that sink in.
We can't start the season with GA in charge he needs to go tomorrow or we are going down this year. It takes a lot to upset me but enough is enough fantastic trip over here the well fans are brilliant but let down by the team and a manager feckin devoid of any ideas. We are going out tonight but the vlub needs to take action now to save the season before it starts.
Spot on.

Viking thru 2-1, not that it matters

I'd certainly agree our approach to the game was lacking, we done that with Llanelli in 2009 where we played one bounce game days earlier against Rhyl before getting beat in the Euro tie. I was led to believe that the team we played in Austria were a second tier team and not amateurs that we first thought, even so it was still not nearly enough prep. I think if we were even a handful of games into our league season you'd be looking at a different result tbh.
Summer football in Scotland perhaps. Let's face it, most euro countries on the same latitude as us have it.

Nice one

I've been reading the comments from Sligo fans the past few days and they seem to think this game will be a foregone conclusion. Obviously I would take any win just to get us through but I hope we actually pump them silly. It'll be no doubt a tough nut to crack as they defended really well after they took the lead but in saying that they did have a few shaky moments when pressed. The time wasting was something else, I know Scottish Football is terrible for it these days but we could have learnt a lesson from them, so my worry on that front is the longer it stays 0-0 we will see a repeat of that. I actually think last week will have served us well on the match sharpness front, you would hope Alexander will have learnt a thing or two, it'll be interesting to see what the team lineup will be tonight but it wouldn't surprise me to see the exact same eleven start.
I do think we were ill-prepared. Mock the level of LOI game if we wish, but they are 20+ competitive games into their season while we've had a bounce game against a bunch of amateurs and a training camp stroll. Where's the preparation in that ?

new Hunter Stand:- better toilets, more accessible kiosks and safe standing section for BOIS

uncle showed me a crinkly old video of a 3-0 cup-tie vs Killie in mid 70's I think. Several moons ago, so I may be wrong. Pettigrew or Davidson hit the post and the other scored rebound, the Shed was packed and looked brilliant
-
why oh why Hamdump ? Live on TV and Less than 12k will rattle around that tired midden. Had SFA any sense they'd take it to Tynecastle or Easter Road - get closer to a full house, a decent atmosphere and a better advert for the game on national tv
Q. who lost to Dundee Utd in the other 1991 semi-final ?
A. St Johnstone.
Q. Where was it played ?
A. East End Park, Dunfermline

That's an insightful and detailed opinion...................................... because if the Society that owns the club disappears, so does the club.
Well done sir ------ you're not as daft as you look afterall

My uncle introduced me to MFC. He was a diehard, went home and away for years, to Europe even the IoM tournament FFS, had an incredible collection of memorabilia and almost bled C & A. He warned me of this 4yrs ago when the happy clappers were so busy brown nosing McCall to see our demise in the distance.
Gone now are all the programs, the match tickets, the framed prints, the scarves, the strips, the claret and amber wall in the garage, the autographed stuff, everything. He pays no attention now whatsoever, won't even be aware of our last result or who next game is against.
That to me is terribly sad, and indicative of the current state of MFC. If a Boycott is what it takes to get rid of the Board Room imposters dragging MFC to oblivion then so beit. I'm in.

Hope you all have good locks on your doors, keep the Bailiffs at bay when the WS goes tits up

Another piss poor performance and yet another disgusting capitulation. Just switch off the lights, shut the gates and sell the seats to Bradford City, then everyone at FP go try find something they are good at - coz it aint running a football Club.
Going down and deservedly so.
-
Not just McGhee, there's a massive Bumper Buggar-Off Bananza required at FP. MFC is currently known as Motherwell Football Capitulators round these parts, and unless the Board Room is swept of its incompetent suits, the Coaching team exfoliated of its deadwood and the multitude of dross driven from the playing squad all those empty seats in the East Stand will simply multiply.

Well one recent attempt to improve the SPL (where have you seen no attempts) is that we no longer have an SPL. We have the SPFL with a different financial distribution model and play-offs every season.
The Club "tried" that, did they ?
-
What plans do you have to "improve the product" that the club hasn't tried already?
What have they tried ? From what I've seen, its my opinion the SPL is poor product.
The product we have now is no worse than it was in much of the the 60s, 70s and 80s when crowds were much higher. Expectations have however increased markedly.
Am too young to compare.
When people say this I'm never really sure what they mean. What do you expect from the 'experience'?
Lunch at home, go to pub, trudge to FP, pay £20 to get in, squeeze thru turnstyle, go for piss in stinking and flooded toilet, (probably have to Q and cant wash/dry hands), find a seat with a decent view, get told to sit down by steward, watch 45mins of misery listening to dogs abuse being hurled by fellow Dossers, queue for the toilet experience again, queue for an overpriced bovril and soggy pie, another 45mins of misery and more abuse hurling, then leave by exit gate and go to pub and/or home.
Lots of potential to improve MDE; affordable lunch at FP, a better serviced bar and more fan friendly than Cooper currently offers, improved catering/toilet facilities, safe standing areas, better stewards + what SomethingElse says. Not rocket science.
Charging kids is a big problem. If a dad wants to go to a game and has kids it costs a fortune. Under 16's should be free if accompanied by a paying adult.
Bring back standing areas too so that if a kid gets bored he can move around rather than be stuck in a seat for almost 2 hours.
It's basic stuff and may sound mad but it may save our game.
Agreed.
High prices, long queues, terrible facilities, poor standard of food and drink, etc are all within the clubs gift to change to some extent, but it can't be denied that it's much more difficult to get folk to football matches now that it's never off the TV.
Agreed.

Lots of empty seats in middle 3 sections of East Stand compared to 5, 6 + years ago. My uncle, who got me into the Well over a decade ago, aint been in nearly 3yrs and he was a diehard all his life.
Improve the product. Improve the matchday experience. Improve Fir Park, and ditch the "Thru Thick and Thin" pish. That might work.

Best of the rest, only twice, (without a team from Ibrox in the mix which dilutes it), and one with a huge chunk of help from the Ref ---- so it aint that rosey afterall.
As a learned Dosser said on FPC, we need to look at the bigger picture. Much needed income possibilities have been blown by McCall amidst some of the worst results in the Club's history. With the reported Poznan effect, losing to Stjarnan has probably cost us around 150,000. Albion Rovers made a similar amount after ousting us from the Cup.
It's this loss of much needed income due to lack of preparation, tactical ineptness, player fitness, poor substitutions, etc., etc., etc., that is unacceptable.
I don't mind losing to St Midden, Dutd, Killie, etc., they are in our League afterall, but being humbled by bottom tier Club sides and a bunch of Fisherman that dont see daylight for 2 months is embarrassing. It's 2014, not 1970, and if you lot of auld happy clappers are content to accept this then we might as well call in KPMG tomrrow.
