Toxteth O'Grady Posted Wednesday at 09:07 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:07 AM https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2026/04/15/this-club-is-evolving-join-the-movement/ Quote As you have probably noticed, there has been a complete refresh with regard to the pricing and categories this season. It was noted two season ticket campaigns ago that there had been an effort made to make pricing fairer for all, regardless of what stand you were purchasing for. With these inconsistencies in mind, the club took the decision to refresh the pricing and categories. This is to ensure all prices are aligned with the same prices for Motherwell fans in all three home stands, which we felt is fairer for all. Not sure how this is going to go down.

wellfan Posted Wednesday at 10:27 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:27 AM If the club expects fans to pay more for a product that is deteriorating due to poor officiating and VAR diminishing the matchday experience, it should at least commit to challenging the SFA over the decline in fan enjoyment. After all, this is meant to be an entertainment business. Otherwise, putting the improved footballing to one side, which is a separate matter, we are ultimately being asked to pay more for less, told to like it or lump it, and that is not sustainable. Folk will turn away soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the POD so its ok with me especially with the football iv witnessed this season. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair summing up Allan. A bit woolly and short on hard facts. A slight reduction for us. I'll be renewing in any event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigManTam Posted Thursday at 08:07 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:07 PM Deteriorating product? This has been the best quality of football I've seen at Fir Park in, well, ever. The small rise in price will go directly to the (fan-owned) club. The record home crowds we've seen this season suggest price hasn't been the main issue that's been keeping people away, it's been the entertainment (or lack thereof) on the park. VAR is a small stoppage in most games and, in its own way, often adds to the entertainment of the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point about a deteriorating product relates to poor officiating and VAR undermining the matchday experience, not the quality of football on display. I’ll still be renewing my season ticket, but with fans being asked to pay more each year, it’s reasonable to expect the club to advocate on our behalf and address the elephant in the room. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll still be renewing my season ticket, but with fans being asked to pay more each year, it’s reasonable to expect the club to advocate on our behalf and address the elephant in the room. I would argue poor officiating and delays due to VAR are vastly outweighed by the team's improved performance. A signficant increase in bodies through the gates would suggest the majority agree with me. In any case, a majority seem to get off on the controversy, shouting at referees and the like, so ultimately they are happier when they've got more to moan about.

Improve with time, aye ok then its the SFA we are talking about here. They implemented the poundshop version of VAR, not enough cameras to cover all the angles required, which is why we got shafted with no pen in the Falkirk game, Gordons red card st Aberdeen, looked like the camera was on an oil rig. Whe you add the incompetence of the operators, who dont seem to be aquainted with the laws of the game, i refer to the Hearts pen at Tynecastle last week you get a perfect shit show that will never improve as the SFA think they are gods gift to football and can do no wrong. It needs binned ASAP its ruining the game not improving it as it was intended to do.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things can be true at once: the football may have improved, but the officiating has clearly worsened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted 7 minutes ago Report Share Posted 7 minutes ago There isnt really a lot wrong with VAR. Yes we got the "Poundshop" version, but I presume that decision was made in conjunction with the clubs around what they were prepared to spend on it. Of course more cameras would give better angles to viee incidents from, and ultimately provide more accurate lines for offside decisions. However, the 2 main issues with our VAR are...... 1. The officials making the decisions are incompetent. 2. Due to their incompetence, they take way to long to come to a decision. Unfortunately, we can have all the cameras in the world, but if those 2 things dont change, the matchday experience will never improve.....
