Any Dunfermline fans able to help me with my 01-02 database for football manager? Thanks if you can, stuck with a few players. http://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php/topic/213623-scottish-01-02-season-database-for-fm14-in-progress/page-2

Kyle, I know we're not. Was thinking this was the wrong thread haha... anyway, is there any updates on Shinnie?

Why can Aberdeen sell out Celtic Park then? I guarantee if Motherwell were in a cup final they would sell there allocation easy! I also bet they have enough fans to fill out Fir Park easily as well. My opinion is probably due to prices/travel/work etc. The 'buses to Glasgow' isn't a reason for supporting us but I get what you're trying to say and don't disagree with it, but I don't believe it is detrimental. Motherwell have more than 5000 fans, I'm rather confident of that. So I can't accept that as a reason for your stadium being empty.

Yeah that's the reason

Seriously? Motherwell have had the best chance to make money after us in the past couple of years. However, over the past 5 seasons your average home attendance has been 5500 give or take. Your stadium has 13000 seats roughly so you're not even filling half of it! You have finished 2nd in the league for 2 seasons and 3rd the season before, so you've been in Europe, you have had opportunities to make money through Europe. The league prize money isn't hugely different for the top 2. Our money comes from fans, sponsorship and Europe, as well as selling players for profit. Anyway, I didn't post here to debate about us making more money, I don't decide who makes what, all I wanted to see was whether or not they were signing shinnie still (because he'd be a great signing), continue to improve there squad and be more competitive! I'm a fan who wants Scottish football to improve. I also hope Motherwell and St. Johnstone do good in Europe as well.

Are Aberdeen still signing Shinnie or is he staying with ICT? Hope they sign him and continue to build, want to see the Scottish teams do well in Europe and a more competitive league as well.
