timlichtie Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Motherwell it is! Hopefully a decent crowd A decent draw. A good crowd and no shame if we lose. Every chance of advancing, though. C’mon the Lichties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokerson Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Decent draw. This time last year I would’ve been confident of an upset. Hopefully a decent crowd and 3pm on a Saturday kick off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Happy with that. Haven’t played them for quite a while and no shame if we lose as they’re a decent side on their day. I’m sure they’ll bring a large and lively support too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we play our ancient midfielder up front on his own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLichtie86 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Bryce scored a flicked header IIRCHe did indeed. Earned us a 1-1 draw that night.That was the 2nd time we had to face Motherwell as the original game was called off at HT when their manager complained to the referee that it was too windy.Didnt seem to bother him that they had the wind in the first half shooting towards the Harbour End.They were only winning 1-0 after their winger, just in front of the dugout hit a deep cross to the back post, only for the wind to take it and proceed to make it like Roberto Carlos had hit it and move it in every direction before nestling it in the top corner.Panic ensued from the Motherwell bench knowing full well Arbroath would pepper the goal with shots in the 2nd half. Their manager couldnt get on the pitch quick enough to beg the ref to call the game off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit of a notorious game, given we had an abandoned game, the second attempt, then 3 (iirc) cancelled replays before it was eventually played. It was a good Motherwell team too, Andy Goram in goal, Billy Davies as manager, Ged Brannan, Townsley, Goodman, Lee McCulloch etc. I also mind that the game got abandoned but nobody told the fans, and it wasnt until they sidled out and took the corner flags away that we realised the game was off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtiemike Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 In the replay the last time, Motherwell agreed to wear their away kit as we only had home strips, our away kits were stolen in the week leading up to the game iirc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Motherwell's population is only slightly bigger than Arbroath with a population of 32,000, but I am guessing a lot of their fan base is from nearby towns such as Wishaw, Bothwell and Uddingston - they certainly get good gates for a town with a population of only 32,000. Last season I would have been confident of winning this match - but not feeling it this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season I would have been confident of winning this match - but not feeling it this season.Isn’t the population of Arbroath about 20,000? In which case I’d say that a population of 32,000 of more than “only slightly bigger” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUAFC Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 23 - 24k I think, so yes if Motherwell population is 32k (thought it might be higher) its about 1/3 bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
