After last seasons glorious Motherwell run.. me and the boy who’s was 12 Wanted to see local spl game. we went to Hibs v well at Easter road.. last game season..  we live near Edinburgh.. East Lothian (we doont support any Scottish teams) but I was worrying  he was picking Hibs.. 😂

 

anyway after seeing all the well fans and how they supported there team for the full match they out sang the whole off Easter road… we  thought we would love to watch a Motherwell game again.. this time at home.. 

anyways…he’s been pestering me for a motherwell match again  and we decided on well v Dundee just before Xmas.. 

 

anyway. Is there any help tips or things to help a first time father and son visitors to Fir park? Where to park?  What time to be there to see the players going in? And where to see them coming out at the end off match? If he could get a few signatures or such that would really be cool.  Is that something the well players are known for? 
 

he’s a Man Utd fan and his mum took him last year old Trafford. where all the Man Utd players just walked past the fans. . and a wolves player signed his scarf for him.. he was over the moon..  

 

anyways looking forward  to visiting..any help would be greatly appreciated..   🙏

Welcome. I hope you enjoy your visit. I have limited local knowledge; others will hopefully provide you with that. However, if you're coming from the east, leave the M8  at Newhouse and continue along the old A8, coming off at the next junction. Continue south along Bo'ness Road, past Holytown. Then down through the former Ravenscraig site. There's reasonable on street parking in Orbiston Street. Best to park to the north east of the ground if you can as its easiest to head back eastwards afterwards.

Welcome!

I think the players generally arrive around 1pm for a 3pm ko.

They park up the end of Fir Park St, so your best bet is to hang around outside the main entrance to the Phil O'Donnell Stand and you should meet most of them coming in there.

The players are usually pretty good about stopping for autographs/selfies.

If you contact the club/Well Society directly they might be able to make more specific arrangements for you.

Hey all. Thanks for the replies. It’s all been super helpful to us especially a e-mail from Dee above.
we have been looking loads recently at all things Motherwell and we both can’t wait to go see the match.. luckily I asked him if it’s Hibs or Motherwell and he said Motherwell. 😂

 

Orbiston Road looks a good place for us to park and as a easy route back up the road past Ravenscraig to the m8..

we are looking forward to going to the Well shop getting a few things as “well” .

He will probs be after a new shirt  myself I would love a more retro one like the 94-96 away shirt… but doesn’t seem to be in stock from the well shop? Well online from what I can see..
does anybody know if they always get more in or will have to keep an eye out  on ebay and such like? 
 

Thanks.

Welcome aboard,  always good to see or hear anyone taking an interest in our club

As for Retro shirts I was in the shop last weekend,  the 96-97 white away shirt is currently on sale.  There was others in the last couple of years that look to have sold out.  I find Ebay always good for the likes of this as well

The white Pony "floodlight" shirt is a belter.

One of my all time favourites!
