I've seen a few Rangers fans saying they are "winding folk up" because we voted to send them down years ago. shame we cant leverage that free rent into CRM funding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnderooMFC Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 44 minutes ago, Doctor Manhattan said: does anyone know off the top of their heads what constitutes a "Top Fan"? (My initial speculation based on the quality of the posts was that it was a slightly pish abbreviation for "Top Fanny", but I'm willing to stand corrected.) Hey, I think I'm a Top Fan on facebook! The site does it automatically for those with increased engagement to the posts. Nearly everything that comes up in my feed from the club gets a "like", and occasionally a comment, so I get a badge. The social media team have no input to it, and it says nothing to the actual content. To provide context, I also became a Top Fan of Kesha on facebook by commenting "play Scotland" on all her posts for about week. Not a WS member but a season ticket holder, and I don't think I'd download an MFC app either. Even if it does include fan-only exclusive content of.. uhm... SOD's Tim Hortons order or Kett's halftime Team Talk Tips (2hr long).* I also live ~10mins away from Fir Park, and don't think there's much that could be done to get me there earlier on a matchday. No Q+A with the players, acoustic singsongs from the center spot, facepainting... none of it. *How will the players react to this if it goes through? "Oh hey Seddon, that contract you've just signed now includes a documentary cameraman following you and your family about this week. And after that we've got someone from Wild Sheep who's gonna talk to you about growing your brand to promote the club. Then you've to go to makeup before shooting some MFCAPP content..." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you mention it, I’d actually be interested to see how many points Kettlewell can get through in 15 minutes. I’m feeling generous, so I’ll guess two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camer0n_mcd Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Saw earlier today that I've become a 'rising contributor' on the absolute shit stain that is the Motherwell Facebook groups. One of the worst days of my life. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst days of my life. I accept that I could do with being more receptive to other points of view when it comes to motherwell things, but f**k those c***s. I joined one of those groups a while back, and realized that supporters of the same team can live on different planets <grandpa Simpson gif>. Also, I watched a terrace podcast breakdown of our begging video and want to punch a window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 1 hour ago, scmwell said: This is exactly where I am. The proposal from EB may have some good ideas and contacts but the existing board/chairman should be removed and negotiations restarted with the WS having more involvement as there seems to be guys who are posting on here have more investment/corporate experience which should be utilised. For what it’s worth both proposals seem to use a lot of business talk but with little substance to them, I don’t have any experience in this area but just seem like a lot of buzz words from both sides. Just to clarify; I can't stress how under-qualified I am for almost any professional role. 1 hour ago, dezz said: Did Hearts not do a behind the scenes documentary a few years ago (maybe with BBC Scotland?) that no one watched or gave a shit about? Aye. I think hearts had final cut on this, hence why despite an incredible collection of circumstances playing out, it was quite dull, because hearts, understandably, didn't want to show themselves up. I fucking love these docs btw. V much my jam, but similarly, they live and die on the chaos/personalities. Sunderland one? Like @RandomGuy.says; brilliant. A collection of terrible decisions caught on camera. All or nothing: man city - terrible. literally the only memorable thing is the sound wee kit-man guy. All or nothing - Michigan Wolverines; incredible viewing, because Jim Harbaugh is a legitimate psychopath who takes a whole college football team to Rome to train like gladiators and meet the pope. With the best will in the world; do we have a club full of characters that people will fall in love with? Maybe! There's only about 6 members of staff though so it'll need some shift to do so. Will we be run like a disaster for your entertainment? I'd sincerely hope not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy for example has convinced himself by speculating that we'll post £1.5m losses...now I maybe wasn't paying that close attention but that isn't what was projected at the AGM (@StAndrew7 can perhaps confirm). This pains me. 2 hours ago, rowsdower said: I live and work in the USA, and I have to explain to folk that Im from trainspotting scotland, not Braveheart/Outlander scotland.

rowsdower Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 There are many motherwell fans that will absolutely die on the hill that player salaries that are posted on the internet are real, because they are posted on the internet. Not surprised to see EB is one of them. American sports teams salaries are generally public knowledge I also saw someone post the other day that they'll be voting on the EB proposal because someone on the WS hurt their feelings. We're the best. On the sports docs, the Australian cricket one is awesome, especially the first season where they're all gimps with feelings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
