MelvinBragg Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Quite simple really - the inference was that they would move the game to the rugby ground if we switiched ties, which UEFA may not have allowed anyway. But since we said no they are now saying - ach well then we will just play at home in front of 3 men and a dog. The flight price and money is not an issue for me in the slightest - quite prepared to lose it. My anger is at the fact I will probably not see Motherwell play their first European tie on UK soil. End of story! The highlighted section, has that ever been confirmed or is it just rumour and hearsay? If not confirmed, a bit silly to get worked up about it. A lot of people will not see Motherwell's first away tie on European soil. Financial reasons, work commitments, domestic situations, clashing with a holiday booked over 6 months ago, the reasons could be many. Most people are dealing with it with a shrug and a "ach, well...". You're lucky that you can be "quite prepared" to lose money on this when there are others who couldn't afford to go. Sorry for going on, but you seem to be getting really worked up over this and quite frankly, the petulance you're showing, if it was quoted on any other club's board, we'd all be laughing at...

MelvinBragg Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I have been a lifelong supporter for 35 years. Point out where I stated that meant I was a better fan than anyone else. Please do. Well, what was the purpose in mentioning it? "I've been a Well fan for 35 years, I'd never want to see us lose". Y'know, guess what, it's a Motherwell forum, the rest of us never want to see us lose, so what exactly were you trying to put across?? Honestly, give me one solitary reason it was relevant...

If it makes you happy Melvyn to take the moral high ground then so be it. Yes I was angry at the thought of missing out. I am sure anger has never got the better of you either. You are a lucky person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was used to emphasize the point - no more no less. I am going to get on with my day - as otherwise I suspect i could be on here a long long time.

GazzyB Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I think it's more the fact that you're getting so worked up at something you basically don't really have any right to be angry about. Llanelli are within their rights to do whatever the fuck they want regarding the stadium, the fact you've booked a couple of flights shouldn't hamper their decision!

brisbaneMFC Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm still hummin and hawin about going down regardless. I'm going to disguise myself in a sheepskin in order to blend into the background, then shuffle into the park. I'll make sure that the rear end of the camouflage is non-penetrable to be on the safe side. £20 for what sounds like the likes of Links Park is steep. Fair do's to a wee club wanting to make the best of the situation though. Having had a wee look at a pic of the ground, I see ample opportunity for getting in/getting a view of the game if it comes to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJM Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 What kind of support do we realisticlly expect to take down there? 2000 ? Let's hope we make the switch worthwhile. What if the tables were turned and...... .....Motherwell could put out Welsh and Albanian mobs and even get through the 3rd round and are drawn against let's say Everton in the play off round.....And their fans demand we move the tie to Hampden because they could bring up a decent support. I think a lot of people on here would like to see the big matches at Fir Park and would be pissed off the club decided on moving such a big match. Fair play to Llanelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
