Think that trivialises a wee bit the work thats going in to try and secure a younger, sustained fanbase for the club in the community to be honest.
I'd actually say most of the increased fanbase will be U16s and/or people new to the area so 25% increase certainly won't equate to a 25% gate increase. At least not yet.
The focus on youth though, is more long term thinking than targetting people who'll show up as we're winning a few games.
I agree that there has been a massive focus on enticing younger fans along to matches. I think Keith Lasley has take a huge amount of credit for that.
However, based on purely where I sit, there are a lot of unfamiliar faces filling the seats around me this season. I can only assume that's down to the upturn in results/style of football on show.
I would love the increase to be sustainable. But if we lose SR and make aother Stubbs-esque apppointment, will that additional 25% hang about? Hard to see that being the case IMO.
The size of stadium is perfect for us as it is at the moment.

The talk of developing the stadoum to increase capacity is mental to me.
We are one managerial change, or one downturn in results away from the 25% attendance increase pissing off once again.

I think folk are being harsh in singling out Hemming - and for the record I do think he has to come and get a touch on that ball.
However, Tanser drops deeper than the rest of the defence and actually starts baring down on the goalie - I can totally see why Hemming thinks Tanser is going to clear, just by catching a glimpse of him out the corner of his eye. In the end, they both leave it to each other and the ball sails straight in.
Terrible defesivley, but not entirely Hemming's fault - even though he must do better.
Hemming and Tanser have to both share the blame for that one.

The Dundee fans - the support with the absolute worst patter going - still taking their arse skelping on the opening day well I see.

He's superb. Gets better with every passing game.
Taylor plays the types of balls Dunne shells out the park for 90 minutes.
The guy is just a quality player.

Get Richard Taylor on a new deal now.
He was outstanding today - particularly in the first half.
Olusanya was also unplayable today.

Absolutely love that you are on another match thread and you're still obsessed with us.
Good to see you still keeping track on what’s happening in the Box Office Buddies threads. Please come again.

Other than the debate around the pen I’m genuinely not sure where the massive refereeing injustice was?
For me, it looked like a definite foul on Tanser just seconds before he awards Aberdeen the freekick that they go and score from.
In real time, it certainly looked a foul and should have been a free kick to us.
Doesn’t negate out piss poor defending and horror goalkeeping though.

Seething mess etc.
Personally, I thought Richard Taylor was the man of the match.
Hemming was poor for the Aberdeen opened. He has to come and get something on the ball there.
Our penalty was a stonewaller. It is very annoying how long VAR takes to check these.
I absolutely love the fact Motherwell fans think Mika Mandron is a diddy. He’s been excellent for us. I suppose that’s the benefit if having a good manager.
The Aberdeen pen, like ours, was also a stonewaller.
Aberdeen were rank throughout and will no doubt be delighted and sneaking a point from a game they deserved nothing from.
Dons fans, has that been the theme of the season or more likely down to the midweek European fixtures? Most of your big players just weren’t at the races. In the handful of games I’ve seen of him, that’s the worst I’ve seen Miovski looking.

Hemming has to be coming and getting something on that.
Only mitigation is it was virtually the first thing he’s had to do. Concentration levels have to be higher.

Scheduling a TTT for that late in the almost pitch black was nuts.
I totally get why the teams who set off later were fucked off with it all.
Crazy decision.

Delighted to get small back.
He had one fairly big f**k up last season against Killie. But he’s a young boy who does impress me.
Hopefully he can knuckle down now and make the Lb position his own.
This won’t do Tanser any harm either.

There have been plenty of challenges in the history of football where a player has suffered a serious injury in a nothing challenge. Why are Motherwell fans going on like this is the first time this has ever occurred in human history?
They seem to be very precious over what was, at best, a free kick.
The Well fans' reactions to this are even funnier that their manager's reaction.
It's a shame that the boy appears to have picked up a serious injury. Hopefully it's not as serious as is being suggested.

That is a great tackle from Dunne. Motherwell boy was unfortunate to come out of it with an injury.
It's not a foul or a red card though. That's just crazy talk.

For as much as I don't want to go through it again - I actually enjoyed the Oran Kearney season.

Vingegaard at 6/5 to win the Vuelta seems like free money.

Wait until he finds out about our orange away kit in 1998.

Not sure where this chat about Tanser being injury prone comes from.
Last season he played 30 league games and the year before 31 games.

I feel that Tanser copes far better when we have some width in front of him. When he's playing wingback and we don't have any wide midfielders or wingers ahead of him he can struggle.
To me, Tanser seems to be a total confidence player. When his confidence is down he can be absolutely stinking. When confidence is high, and he plays well - we play well.
He was excellent at the weekend.

There's absolutely no way we can play Dunne of Taylor at left wingback for any prolonged period of time. That would be utter madness.

Once again, a football manager is not going to be honest with the press about how much he has left to spend in the transfer fund.
It would be the dumbest busiess move ever to say "We've loads of cash to splash before the widow slams shut".
No manager is ever going to plead anoything other than poverty.

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson today confirmed that Mark O'Hara is set for a short spell on the sidelines following a scan yesterday.
The Saints captain missed Saturday's win against Dundee in the cinch Premiership after picking up the thigh injury in training on Friday.
O'Hara is expected to miss upcoming matches against Motherwell and Aberdeen, but scan results showed the injury wasn't as bad as initially feared and the midfield man could return ahead of the international break in September.

The Dudee penalty is actually a tremendous spot from VAR.
Not one single person in the stadium spotted it. Nobody had a clue what it was for.
But the VAR spotted it and called it 100% correct.
Great call.

It is proper mental that most AEW fanboys can't see what the Bucks and their wee pals are trying to do with Punk.
On each of the occasions they all claim Punk has been an areshole, it's been started by the Bucks and their crew running their mouths.
