Kapowzer Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Quickly does sums .... 36 league games, 4 league cup, 3 Scottish cup = 43 games x 90 mins = 3,870 + 30 (1 extra time) = 3,900 minutes of football played. That video is 4.5 minutes long. I've officially liked 0.12% of this season, if you add in Aberdeen in the cup, Lamie's header and Tony rubbing Browns head we're up to 0.15% Edited May 10, 2022 by Kapowzer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 For me Slattery v Livingston. Was a belter of a strike and so accurate. Plus it helped get us back on track for top 6. I am a bit torn on the hybrid pitch. Probably because I don’t have the financial breakdown v benefits. Flow seems excited and explains it will help limit ongoing annual investment. But I seem to recall it was going to cost the best part of £850,000. For a club like Motherwell that is serious money. Even half of that invested in the squad for next season may have a big impact. I certainly would not want to read about us paying another six figures every summer after such a whopping outlay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapowzer Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 It was mentioned at the AGM they hope to attract more Scotland B/U21/U19/U18/Schoolboys, Womens and stuff like Petrofac or whatever it's called now I guess. No idea what the SFA pays to rent the stadium and if we only get a slice of the pie stalls but would say it's maybe 20k? Do that 3x a season and you'd hope that covers the summer freshen up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Your Pies Only Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 KVV against Aberdeen for me. Beautiful technique and a reminder of how he had their entire defence in his pocket every single time we played them this season. *chef's kiss* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty supportive on spending money on tangible things, tbh. Players come and go, and have massively variable definitive values on an almost weekly basis. The club has done a smashing job over the last few years of just tidying the place up after decades of little to no investment in our surroundings. More than that, speaks to the clubs continued mindset of just doing things 'right'. Do the best thing you can do at all stages off the pitch, improves things on it. There are limits to our facilities and our budgets, but whatever we can do to improve infrastructure, we should, IMO. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a similar subject was there not also chat from the AGM that we were due to be entering into some sort of investment/partnership with Dalziel Park? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye - and it's also worth remembering that it's not a case of put the hybrid pitch in or do nothing - it's a case of put the Hybrid pitch in and fix the underlying problems or keep relaying the pitch every summer, which is clearly going to be on on-going sunk cost. Given that we've got some money in the bank and there is a plan to recoup some of the outlay by being able to use the pitch/stadium more - it sounds like a pretty sound plan to me. Also - welling up here: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along the lines of we'll be more involved and potentially look to have our own facility there as well as help steer the future direction of the place. I took from it probably changing rooms and our groundsman would would in tandem with the permanent guy there. I don't know if there's space or scope to put something together like they had planned for the foot of Muirhouse. The may see benefit in extending the existing stand, putting rooms underneath it. Certainly would be an option on saving rent elsewhere for youth, womens games if the new hybrid pitch can't cope with 40 games a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Watch the first video as many times as there are players in view. Watch a single player each time. There is a story with every one, from the shirt pull on Hutchy, Faddy celebrating before the goal is scored, defenders standing watching, defenders going to the ref before the play is halted. Oh, and a goal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be the fourth club after Celtic, Rangers and Hearts (top 4?) to introduce a hybrid pitch. I would say that our pitch has been better than theirs in recent seasons. I assume the quality is maintained by the quality of the groundsman? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, the AGM chat was the the mess under the pitch is getting worse over time and it's becoming more of a stuggle to deal with a lot of rain and keep it playable (and I think that has been noticeable). On a nice day, we've probably had the best surface in the league over the past few years but the surface isn't the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
