Just noticed that Dundee United have their first preseason friendly lined up against Drogheada United away on 26th June!!! Two weeks tomorrow. Not wasting time there. Aberdeen have also lined up Brechin City for the 30th June. In a way it seems like the season hasn't long ended.

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see a game or two added before the Dumbarton match as we seem to have one of the later preseason match starts. Either that or there will be a few 'closed door' matches pre Dumbarton.

 

Edit:....and Hibs have Blackpool away for the second year on the bounce. Jammy sods.

talking to a number of people over the weekend and it seems we could out number the well fans. :O

 

Hay mate dont get disheartened. There may well be a decent crowd at this game providing motherwell fc actually tell the people of lanarkshire there's a game on. A wee bit of advertising in the papers and a few posters would bring a fair number to the game in my opinion.

Something needs to be done anyway. There's nothing more embarrassing than having a full south stand and the rest of the stadium being empty.

Aye something needs to be done. Lets start wi realistic prices. Its a friendly against a poor championship side so should be no more than a fiver for adults and a coupla quid for weans.

Herne Bay hoping to create link with Scottish Premier League side

 

By David Pritchard

 

Herne Bay are hopeful of arranging a link with Motherwell in pre-season as part of the Kent club’s 125th anniversary celebrations.

 

The Kent League club wrote to all the other sides who were also established in 1886, including Arsenal, Plymouth Argyle, Shrewsbury Town and Grasshopper Zurich from Switzerland.

 

So far the only club to agree to a pre-season friendly are Haverill Rovers from Suffolk, who will visit Winch’s Field on August 7.

 

There remains a possibility of Motherwell getting involved, with the Scottish Premier League side making contact on Monday.

 

Bay chairman, John Bathurst, said: "We got a response this morning from Motherwell, who have passed it on to their commercial manager. Negotiations will go from there and we’ll look to do something, so that’s looking more promising."

 

Another positive response from north of the border came from Inverness Clachnacuddin of the Highlands League. Due to the distance involved a friendly was deemed unworkable, but there are plans to create a link, which may involve reciprocal arrangement where each side sends a group of supporters to watch the other club play.

Leeds have probably got a better travelling support than nearly every other team in England, including Man Utd!! And well you know it!! :evilgrin:

 

The "Dirty Leeds" tag, which was factually innaccurate was nowt to do with hygiene also!

There won't be a decent crowd, because it's a friendly. A wee bit of advertising in the papers doesn't change that fact, it's a meaningless pre-season friendly that most folk couldn't give a toss about - myself included. It's Leeds we're talking about, not Barcelona.

 

Having more away fans than home fans at Fir Park for a friendly means absolutely fuck all and isn't remotely embarrassing.

 

I very much doubt I'll be anywhere near Fir Park for any home friendlies. The away friendlies will be judged based on a "good day out" scale.
