Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

Aye. This is it, Doidge is just fundamentally broken which is a real shame, as I liked him a lot.

Clark... I dunno. I've never rated him at all, but he's undeniably done the business for Saints, so I suppose the trade off is them being marginally worse and us being marginally better across the shorter term if he'd ended up here, given the fine margins this season looks like having, it could be inspired.

That said, RG's numbers are... big. So longer term is the question.

Who's RG?

My bad, thought it was some striker we were after who had decent numbers compared to Nicky Clark.

:lol:

Nah, I'd imagine the numbers related to the fact that Saints apparently paid the guts of £100k to get him and it's suggested he's one of their higher earners.

Any of you know if there's any truth in the rumour that this Friday's game is being moved to Rugby Park? An undersoil heating system problem?

Given the nick of the damage to the stands I suppose it's possible there's been an idea floated about reversing the fixture on Friday with the game scheduled for Rugby Park in February.

Fwiw there was no issue with the pitch on Friday.

Not saying it would or wouldn't, BUT would another week off really do us much good? Players must be itching to get back. 

No doubt but the risk reward just seems skewed to me...lose and everyone will go mental with a further loss at Ibrox and tricky one at livi next any hope of a positive return from the break is gone by the new year.

All things considered I'd take another week off, can loosen the legs v Rangers and face Killie twice having strengthened the squad.

Hope the game goes ahead. These canx games could f**k up our season as well as costing a lot of money ! I myself will be seeking a refund for 3x tickets for the St Mirren game I bought for friends. 

We had two winnable home games to get us back on track. Of course we could lose one or both but this stop start season could backfire. 

This (Killie) game is cancelled and we have Rangers away which will no doubt add to our recent woeful record. 

Confident the game will go ahead. I saw the damage (via Twitter) and yes some was in parts of the stadium where fans would be, but others such as the South stand gym and under stands has little bearing on supporters. 

Anyone that hopes January will bring a few signings and we will be prime Argentina is being a little deluded. We might improve for sure but get the games on. We have had 6 weeks away now….

It's not the undersoil heating that's the problem. It's the many, many holes in the stadium that's called Saturday's game off.

We can all get a bit misty-eyed about Fir Park - me more than anyone - but despite the club spending a lot of money doing it up in the summer (and literally millions on the pitch over the past decade to bring it to the top standard), it can't escape anyone's notice that it was our ground alone in the top flight that ended up with pipework that looked like swiss cheese. This is the sort of stuff we need to take into account when new stadium discussions come up and we don't fancy a move to a "lego stadium"

Hope the game makes it on Friday for lots of reasons...

According to Flow we've spent over £2m on the stadium and pitch over the past couple of seasons.

It also seems massively illogical to switch the game around due to the Logistics of things like policing, hospitality etc.

Hope you're right, was just a rumour. I was looking forward to an away day

Ours was called off due to the pitch and unspecified 'stadium damage'. I suspect the stadium damage was a convenient excuse but you never know
