    What if we can all raise our game in 2019/20?

    What if we can all raise our game in 2019/20?

    We head towards the 2019/20 campaign with an optimism over the direction our club is heading, both in terms of Stephen Robinson’s playing squad and matters off the park, as we continue to grow.

    We end 2018/19 with the highest-ever number of season ticket holders. It demonstrates that this is a thriving club, with passionate supporters who believe in what we stand for and what we are trying to achieve. We’re determined to have every single one of you renewing and looking forward to coming back for the new campaign.

    This coming season, we are also asking you all to dream a little bigger. What if we can convince our friends to renew? What if we can attract even more people to come along and see our games? What if we can turn up the noise that bit more inside the stadium? What if we can take our children to their first game this year and convert them to a lifetime supporting our club? I was taken to my first game at the age of five and that is why I’ve been in love with the club ever since.

    We can all play our part, however big or small, to try and push things to the maximum. In turn, we can make our stadium the best possible place to push on our team to produce the magical moments that can define a season, and given even greater encouragement to emerging talent.

    When you buy a season ticket, you are placing your faith in the team and also helping your club be in the best possible position it can be. Your continued support matters. It’s our club. We own it. It continues to thrive because of your incredible backing and enthusiasm for it. Buying helps us set our budgets for the year ahead, allowing the manager to shape his talented group and push for further success.

    We head towards the new campaign with plenty to be optimistic about. Our team have again pushed hard for a top six place in 2018/19, shown great winning form particularly since the turn of the year, and there’s a conveyor of young talent which has got us on our feet throughout the campaign, as well as receiving international recognition.

    We hope that you decide to commit to a Motherwell FC season ticket again for the forthcoming campaign. If we do that, and we can all show our support as much as we possibly can, then… what if?

    You can buy or renew your 2019/20 season ticket at tickets.motherwellfc.co.uk now. Full and further information is available here.

    Manager: What if we can build further?

    Manager: What if we can build further?

    In the last two years, we’ve taken great strides on the pitch.

    Two cup finals will live long in the memory, and we have pushed so close to becoming a top six team in both seasons, despite having one of the smallest budgets in the league.

    I always make it clear that our objective is to finish 10th in the league. That might not seem ambitious on the surface, but the reality is that our primary goal will always be to remain a Scottish Premiership team.

    But our aims and aspirations are always higher. Our league performance in 2019 has shown that we are capable of more. We’ve shown that emerging young talent, and hungry players coming in from elsewhere, can blend to give us a team we all identify with and can be excited by.

    So what if 2019/20 can provide more memorable moments? What if we can build on what we have, continue to find that blend and see where it takes us?

    If one thing is for certain, being at Motherwell means there’s always an element of unpredictability over what we might achieve. But we know that there will always be the maximum effort given to make us the best we possibly can be.

    We count on your backing. You buying a season ticket helps us plan and budget for the campaign. It also boosts us to know that you’re putting your faith in us by making a significant investment of time and money to help us. Your contribution is hugely significant.

    Where can all of that take us? Well, finding out is all part of the excitement that lies ahead of us.

    But I know I’ll be challenging every player and every member of the coaching staff to ask what if? What if we can lift our effort levels, our performance levels and our belief? What sort of season could that lead to?

    With experience already behind us of what is possible, we know more special moments are within our capabilities. We hope you decide to continue with us on that journey.

    You can buy or renew your 2019/20 season ticket at tickets.motherwellfc.co.uk now. Full and further information is available here.

    Renew your season ticket for 2019/20

    You can now renew or buy your Motherwell FC season ticket for the forthcoming 2019/20 campaign.

    The 2018/19 campaign saw a record number of you commit to buying up front and getting behind the team. We are grateful as ever for your amazing support.

    In recognition of that exceptional and continued backing you give us, we’ve frozen our prices for the new season and also extended our early bird period, which will run for seven weeks until Friday, 31 May.

    We’re also continuing our popular free kids tickets scheme, that allows any adult or over 60s season ticket holder to claim a free juvenile ticket in the John Hunter and Phil O’Donnell Stands, or up to two free juvenile tickets in the Davie Cooper Stand.

    You can renew your ticket or buy new right now. The easiest way to do so is to head to tickets.motherwellfc.co.uk. If you’re renewing, you’ll need your customer number as written on your current season card. Information on how to activate your account can be found here.

    If you are an existing season ticket holder, information on how to renew online will be sent to you by email or by post in the coming days.

    What if?

    The campaign was one of transition for the team, with the emergence of so much exciting young talent from the club’s academy. The club’s core football strategy both is – and has always been – to produce talented young players to play in our first team, before trading them on and starting the process again.

    With the likes of Allan Campbell, David Turnbull, James Scott, Barry Maguire, Adam Livingstone and Jamie Semple all either making an impact or on the verge of it, we can take great satisfaction in the current crop of young players.

    However, we want to expand on that. We want to pair those young players with an exciting, attacking team on the pitch that you can not only be proud of as supporters of this wonderful club, but will entertain you on a weekly basis.

    The theme running throughout our campaign this year is “What if?”. That’s a message of hope and aspiration, both for us as a club, the players and staff who work here, but also of you as a supporter.

    What if we can work together to create something memorable or even something historic? What if this is the year, our year? What if we can continue to grow our support and create a healthier, more competitive club? Last year we broke our highest ever season ticket number of over 4,200. What if we can go one step further this year?

    To do that, we hope that you renew your season ticket and continue your unwavering support, as we challenge ourselves to take the next steps both on and off the pitch.

    Declan Gallagher signs pre-contract agreement

    Declan Gallagher signs pre-contract agreement

    Declan Gallagher has signed a pre-contract agreement with the club.

    The 6ft 5in centre back will join the club in the summer on a two-year deal, following the expiry of his current contract with Livingston.

    “We have been a long-term admirer of Declan,” ‘Well boss Stephen Robinson said of the deal.

    “We are very pleased to have confirmed him for next season.”

    Gallagher, 28, came through the youth ranks at Celtic but kicked off his career with a loan spell at Stranraer, before moving to Clyde.

    His performances for the Bully Wee then persuaded Dundee to buy him for an undisclosed fee back in 2012.

    He remained at Dens Park for two years before joining Livingston, where he has been ever since, amassing over 150 appearances and helping to the club to back-to-back promotions in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons.

    Livi have impressed in their return to the top flight, with Gallagher in particular being a standout.

    Statistically, he tops the entire league for aerial duels contested and he is second only to Aberdeen’s Graeme Shinnie for defensive duels competed in.

    Win tickets with the Well Lottery

    Win tickets with the Well Lottery

    Want to win tickets to our remaining league home matches, and also be in with a chance of winning £25,000?

    Our Well Lottery allows you to do just that, as well as backing the next young talent rising through the ranks at the club.

    Priced at £1 per entry, we’ve also got smaller prizes of £1,000 and £25.

    If you sign up now, you can win two tickets to any of our Ladbrokes Premiership home matches with Dundee, St Mirren and Livingston.

    HOW TO JOIN THE WELL LOTTERY

    To join the Well Lottery, you can now choose one of the following options:

    • Sign up online here
    • Fill in the lottery leaflet provided and return via the freepost address provided to Unity.
    • Download a lottery leaflet from the Well Lottery website and return to Unity by post.

    Once you have signed up, you will receive a letter welcoming you to the lottery which will tell you your lottery numbers. You will then be entered into the draw for as long as you wish to play.

    HOW DOES THE WELL LOTTERY WORK?

    For as little as £1 per week, you’ll have the chance to win up to £25,000. At least 50p of every £1 played goes straight to youth development but most importantly, there are no ongoing costs to the club.

    WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

    Every £1 is split three ways. At least 50p of every £1 comes straight to Motherwell FC, which is put towards the club’s youth development and academy programme. The other 50p covers the cost of the administration of the lottery, and goes towards the fantastic prize fund.

    HOW DO I WIN?

    Every player of the Well Lottery will be allocated a six-digit lottery number for every entry they wish to play. This idea is to match your number with the winning number that is drawn on a Saturday in the correct sequence. Every entry in the Unity lottery has an equal one in 63 chance of winning a prize.

    For example:

    325764 – random winning number

    326574 – your lottery number

    This is a three-number match, winning five entries into the next draw.

    HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE WON?

    Players are notified automatically, and prizes sent out by post, so you do not need to claim your prize. If you would like to check the winning number each week, these can be found on Unity’s website and here on the official Motherwell FC website.

    WHAT IS UNITY?

    Unity is a platform on which charities run their own fundraising lottery. It is run by an external lottery manager, Sterling Lotteries, who administer hundreds of charity lotteries for clients across the country.

    Jamie Semple extends his contract

    Jamie Semple extends his contract

    Jamie Semple has extended his contract with Motherwell until the summer of 2021.

    The youngster is the latest academy product to commit his future to the club, following in the recent footsteps of David Turnbull, James Scott, Barry Maguire and Adam Livingstone.

    The 17-year-old also made his first appearance on the bench against Rangers on 7 April, becoming the first player born in 2001 to do so.

    “I’m really happy to be staying at the club,” Semple said on signing his new deal.

    “I can see a clear way through to the first team, having seen so many of my team mates progress over the last few years.

    “I’m concentrating now on continuing to develop my game and kicking on. I’m in the best place possible to do that.”

    Semple first joined the club in 2014 and has established himself as a key figure at reserve level. He made his debut for the second string at the age of 14, demonstrating his promise.

    “Jamie is a player who has made great progress,” manager Stephen Robinson said.

    “We feel he is another youngster who, in the coming years, can make a big impact at the club.”

    Unacceptable conduct at match with Rangers

    Unacceptable conduct at match with Rangers

    Motherwell Football Club have banned an individual following an incident that took place during Sunday’s match against Rangers.

    In the 37th minute of the game, items were thrown from the crowd towards the pitch, narrowly missing James Tavernier.

    Since that incident, staff at the club have been studying CCTV, together with both moving and still photography, in an attempt to identify the culprits.

    Those efforts have been successful. One person has been identified and has been informed he is banned from Fir Park indefinitely.

    We are continuing to investigate a second individual we have identified threw an object onto the park, and will similarly ban as soon as possible.

    Commenting on the matter, chairman Jim McMahon said: “We condemn the irresponsible actions of two of our fans, whose moment of recklessness has cast an unfortunate shadow over our whole support.

    “It gives us absolutely no pleasure or satisfaction to ban anyone from Fir Park.

    “As a fan-owned and fan-run club, we have tried to campaign for the rights of supporters. We have been vocal in our opposition to any suggestion or notion of strict liability.

    “However, with that comes a responsibility to act if any of our own step out of line, particularly if we have such clear and obvious evidence.

    “I am sure our supporters understand that we are left with no other option but to take a hard line approach with not only these two individuals, but anyone else who steps out of line.”
