The David Turnbull money goes a very long way for a club like Motherwell.Fantastic gesture. No idea how they can afford it but fair play to them. Didn't Hearts promise something similar to ST holders last Summer as well?
There's no room for sentiment at a time like this. Motherwell can afford to do this because they pay their shite players buttons and are happy just to stay in the league. We're paying quality players top dollar to get us to the CL.fair play to them that is a great gesture.
Don't expect us to do the same however there should be something to mark the generosity of the fans who took out a season ticket this season - for example the champions wall could have been a thank you to this years season ticket holders rather than having to pay £45 for it.
Or mygers could have been cheaper/free for ST holders.fair play to them that is a great gesture.

Or , how much did it cost to put the MyGers pack together ?Or mygers could have been cheaper/free for ST holders.
I’ve noticed during highlights of their games, a lot of seat replacement and roof work. Not cheap.The David Turnbull money goes a very long way for a club like Motherwell.
TBF, we’re taking the piss asking folk for the guts of £50 to get a passport photo sized image of themselves on a wall. Should’ve been a perk of early season ticket renewal or MyGers renewal.There's no room for sentiment at a time like this.

Don't open/read the thread. Folk can acknowledge a gesture of a club doing something for their fans. There's genuinely no harm in it.Sorry can’t stick these threads lauding up folk that hate us.
It’s obviously not hurting then much or they wouldn’t do it. Anyone believing this philanthropical stuff needs their melon examined.
Let’s be cautious and say that’s 20,000 folk @ £50 (probably more).TBF, we’re taking the piss asking folk for the guts of £50 to get a passport photo sized image of themselves on a wall. Should’ve been a perk of early season ticket renewal or MyGers renewal.
MyGers was set up to get additional revenue into the club coffers.Or mygers could have been cheaper/free for ST holders.
That was my thinking. Something that doesn't cost the club anything and would mean a lot to the season ticket holders who backed the club knowing they probably wouldn't get to a gameOr mygers could have been cheaper/free for ST holders.
For a one off year it would have been a good gesture. They would still have sold some to non season ticket holders and probably would have boosted mygers renewals the following yearMyGers was set up to get additional revenue into the club coffers.
Giving away 46,500 free or cheap memberships doesn’t make great commercial sense
It's the gesture that's the main point as they've given something back to their fans. The amount of ST holders is all relative to the size of club.I'm guessing their season ticket uptake was pretty measly last season due to COVID.
It's not as grand as some are making out.
Probably no more than a few hundred.
Tremendous gesture from Motherwell.Given the numbers involved i think it would be impossible for us to expect the same although some form of acknowledgement would be appreciated by a lot of fans.
They had 3500 confirmed sales last season and had a push on to get it to a new record of circa 4500. What we don’t know is how many of that number were kids £20 season tickets.I'm guessing their season ticket uptake was pretty measly last season due to COVID.

If you mean Rangers, we don’t know if the insurance carried over into this season. We don’t know if it had a payout ceiling. The only thing we know for sure is that we had a partial payout last season and we were in discussions about more. Nothing more.It’s always puzzled me why - assuming that as we’ve been told the ckub is insured re monetary losses incurred by a pandemic - the cob wanted s/t payments for season 20/21.
Doesn’t compute.
Credit where it’s due. Very generous of them. Not sure how many season tickets they sell but if people were buying them last year those people would probably have bought them again this year so it will definitely cost the club some money. But it shows they value their season ticket holders.
If we were that well off that we could do that,why not reduce all season tickets by £50 this year.For a one off year it would have been a good gesture. They would still have sold some to non season ticket holders and probably would have boosted mygers renewals the following year
I would be surprised if that was for this current (covid )season and not last season.A 'google' search reveals 3,800 season ticket holders at Motherwell.
Obviously don't know if this is accurate!
But, well done them. I

Thats a bit more than a ‘gesture’ mate.
It’s for the current season mate. This was an update and sales were ongoing with a push to get to 4500.I would be surprised if that was for this current (covid )season and not last season.
My guess would be that the numbers who bought this season is a lot lower than that and that is why they are doing this initiative.
I don’t like Motherwell as a club but it is a decent gesture to some of their fans.
Because, and I'm getting my tin hat on here, we are merely customers, and any opportunity to milk is for money will be taken.It’s always puzzled me why - assuming that as we’ve been told the club is insured re monetary losses incurred by a pandemic - the club wanted s/t payments for season 20/21.

Could be they have Covid insurance and not lost a pennyFantastic gesture. No idea how they can afford it but fair play to them. Didn't Hearts promise something similar to ST holders last Summer as well?
As I say with all these things, none of it is compulsory. Nobody has to buy into the Wall. Nobody has to have a brick. Nobody has to pay to watch the POTY. Nobody has to keep buying stuff from the Rangers Shop.As far as I'm aware, it is a temporary structure. You're better paying an extra tenner and getting a brick at the stadium and you know it'll be there forever. If I think back to the fan mosaic I think that was around about a tenner. The Champions wall comes at a time where fans are renewing their ST and then mygers on top of that, it's a bit of an excessive cost.
Each to their own though!
That's true mate but by the same rationale the fans have paid a lot up front for a partial season and a completely fan-less season.MyGers was set up to get additional revenue into the club coffers.
From a financial point of view it brought a million pounds in to the budget.

Don’t forget though, for a lot of folk, MyGers is an extra expense for something they previously got on a season ticket at no extra charge (priority for semis and finals) beyond that you have the away scheme of course which I don’t know a lot about in terms of previous charges compared to MyGers. What else of substance has MyGers provided? Or will it provide?MyGers was set up to get additional revenue into the club coffers.
