You could get a train I suspect that would be even dearer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both now on 1 year rolling contracts. Consensus was that was good for the club as we never get into a position again where we are having to pay 3 managers at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its hard for it to not sound that way when you just talk openly about the changes and the difference thats been made. I thought he handled it as diplomatically as he could. No personal references to anyone not have accepted the invitation etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted October 28, 2024 Report Share Posted October 28, 2024 Hopefully the CEO is going explain when he's going to stop ticketless Celtic fans coming into ground. If the Green Brigade are the ones who are assualting stewards to open the doors then tell Celtic no more tickets for the Green Brigade. If they don't like it no tickets at all. There's not so much big talk from him, PC Plod and alleged SLO when it's not Motherwell supporting children trying to get in the ground. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted October 28, 2024 Report Share Posted October 28, 2024 Thats several games in a row now against that lot where the away end is clearly over populated and it will continue to happen as long as the club and the authorities let it.if it gets to the point where there's some kind of disaster due to the overcrowding you can be sure the green bigots will play the victim,the police will play dumb and it will be our club thats left with serious questions to answer,there's only going to be one loser if this continues and it will be us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted October 28, 2024 Report Share Posted October 28, 2024 It's time their allocation was cut and told it won't return to normal levels until Celtic and authorities get control. It might hurt us financially but that's better than life's being lost. This issue can't continue. Ban all their support, much like The Rangers on safety grounds. We might actually benefit on the playing field if they are surrounded by our support only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted October 28, 2024 Report Share Posted October 28, 2024 Give them the top tier only until they can be trusted. ...Or Provide tickets on the basis that it is Celtic that sell/allocate them and arrange policing of their fans etc. Sure similar has been done elsewhere.

Give them the minimum allocation allowed and charge them the maximum allowed . Letting Celtic handle the tickets wouldn't work as they are scared of the goon brigade.

weeyin Posted October 28, 2024 Report Share Posted October 28, 2024 I was curious as to what the current rules say about minimum numbers and was suprised to see it laid out this way in SPFL Rule I27 Quote The Home club must make provision for the admission of such reasonable number of visiting supporters at every home League Match and Play-Off Match as may be agreed in advance with the Visiting Club and, in the event of their being unable to agree such number not later than 14 days prior to the date of the League Match or Play-Off Match in question, the number of visiting supporters allowed shall be determined by the Board whose decision shall be final and binding So basically, there isn't a specific minimum number or percentage and if we came up with a reasonable safety related excuse could probably cut the allocation they have now. I'm not a fan of banning away supporters in general, but wouldn't object if we eliminated or reduced the OF numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wispy Flossy Posted October 28, 2024 Report Share Posted October 28, 2024 Absolute vermin. I would ban the lot of them for a season whether there’s justification or not 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwellfc1991 Posted October 28, 2024 Report Share Posted October 28, 2024 I find it ironic that our safety officer can’t put arrangements in place to prevent ‘doubling up’ at turnstiles when Celtic come to town and jeopardise our safety certificate and a fine but is quick to play the safety card to ruin the east stand by removing the front row to cover up a monumental mistake on his part He continues to play the big I am until there’s a proper problem then he’s nowhere to be seen.

Have the old firm not got a 5% minimum agreement for away fan allocation agreed with spfl. id be ok with that 13742 at 5% is 867 and stick them in the top tier of the south stand. if 5% is good enough for them then that should be good enough for us to enforce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, according to the rule, if we don't agree in advance then the OF can ask the Board for a decision. It could be that is the Board's default number, but there is nothing in the rule that requires that or any other specific figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderpig Posted October 29, 2024 Report Share Posted October 29, 2024 9 hours ago, wellgirl said: When I mentioned doubling up at turnstiles I thought it was two people going through the turnstiles at once but it's apparently people smashing the fire doors in to let others in? Is that right? Yes that's right, not sure if it happened on Sunday but it did the last time the uglies were at Fir park. Every stairway and exit was full of standing fans on Sunday, they were even standing on the steelwork at the back of the top tier, so the stand was well above capacity. What annoys me though is the stewards and police stood and watched this happening and did feck all, so much for ensuring the safety of supporters, what's the point of them being there. The club are well aware of what's happening but are doing nothing to sort it out, can you imagine the uproar if it was well fans storming the gates at parkhead. The football authorities in Scotland have always pandered to the green and blue uglies, the other clubs need to start asking why and get it sorted out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted October 29, 2024 Report Share Posted October 29, 2024 I seem to recall some years ago in an evening League Cup game (it could have been against Accies but I'm not sure) that the Police ordered admission to the East Stand to be stopped as they considered it it to be overly full. In fact it was a hundred or two below capacity. Does anyone else remember that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
