Less than 200 Motherwell tickets left.

I play Sunday league and there is talk that a boy from another team has signed for yourselves, Ryan officer, 60 goals in 16 games. Any Clyde fans heard anything?

Was there not chat at the time that the club were more keen to get Scott tied down than they were Hastie this time last year?

I never actually thought of that to be honest, he was LInked with Atlanta whilst with us so you never know, there season starts back in March I believe.

FWIW, motherwell sold over a third of the allocation so far. good going considering they went on sale yesterday lunch time.

And correct me if i'm wrong, but seeing as he has played now for two clubs this season he can't go back out on loan? you can be registered for 3 clubs however can only play in official matches for 2, which Hastie has done with Rangers in the early stages of the Europa league and Rotherham, so it is back to playing reserve football for the next 6 months.

I think many, if not all well fans, myself included, think that we will sell out due to the fact we took 1350 to Dundee on a Saturday night in the middle of January in what was a televised game. This fixture seems to have everything going for it in; Saturday, 3pm, not on the tele, Scottish cup last 16, team playing well, and it's usually a decent day out with a stop off in town for a few beers. saying all that, I don't know what else St mirren or motherwell for that matter could do to give us an increased allocation, would require to much policing and pissing off your own fans to give us a section of the long stand opposite of the main, not enough demand to get the other stand behind the goals.

I have to agree with you here, however I can't confirm or deny whether I was involved. which takes me to my next point, I reckon that was down to 90% of the support being in the pub since 1pm, absolutely cruising and just applauding anything at all.

I have just done that now. Not had any e-mail confirmation through yet right enough.

Motherwell requested additional tickets from St mirren which was turned down. Reduced to one per season ticket holder which won't last long so slim chances of a general sale. What sort of crowd do st mirren reckon they will pull, could they change there decision nearer the time to accommodate?

Any well fans with a season ticket to spare for the cup game?

Never realised it was a friday tbf, just a 7.45 kick off and put two and two together, Friday is definitely not midweek however still does require some time off to make the kick off for your fans.

For what it's worth, the league meeting between the two sides before the split, is also a midweek fixture however this time at fir park obviously.

Looking at next four fixtures, Abderdeen, Hibs, celtic, Livi, worst case scenario we lose all 4, and hibs/livi win all four then we still stay level on points with either of them, After that we move into 5 games against Hamilton, Ross County St mirren St Johnstone and Hearts, whereas Aberdeen have Kilmarnock Hibs and Celtic in the same set of five fixtures.

I'm the same, I get that i'ts January and on the tele but for Well fans in particular, it's a class day out, the Club even put on buses to ease any travel dilemmas. I thought most of our support would be FULLY on board with this game.

https://www.followfollow.com/forum/threads/griffiths-to-motherwell.104410/ I thought Ronseal was maybe slang for done deal?

Rangers supporting friend has just informed me that there is actually a thread on follow follow about it. "Ronseal according to all the jungles in work" whatever that means.

someone mentioned that they had hear we had sold 800 tickets as of friday, not sure how that compares? so say those 800, combined with maybe another two hundred between now and those punters paying at the gate?

Quite surprised by the apparent lack of interest in this, Though with it being the first game back, Scottish cup, club putting on buses there would be a decent crowd. I understand it's January and on the tele and although a weird kick off time, it makes for a good day out. canny beat football under the flood lights.

19 seconds in is definitely Jamie Semple.

Liam Grimshaw absolutely loves Motherwell and he can retire here as far as i'm concerned, also would be very happy with Long signing on as well.

but a place for Casper Sloth? must be down to injury surely, or maybe Sloth isn't as far out the picture as we think, if he was you would have thought maybe someone like Dean Cornelius would take his place.

It was also mentioned on SO that talks regarding a new deal for David Turnbull were looking positive between player, agent and club. Which although doesn't delay the inevitable gives us a small cushion that we don't need to rush into anything and end up selling him for anything we can get this summer before pre contracts come into play in January, just a one year extension you would have to imagine?

I take it, by your logic, we are a high flying premiership side then considering we are also 4th?

He's been good but your dreaming if you think he is one of the top midfielders in Europe, he's not even in the top 30
