Fans will be able to return home for our forthcoming Premier Sports Cup matches with Queen of the South and Annan Athletic.

We’re delighted to confirm we have been given permission to welcome up to 2,000 home supporters at each fixture at Fir Park.

The first match is soon – with Queen of the South visiting on Saturday 17 July, before Annan Athletic come to ML1 on Saturday 24 July. Kick-off in both is at 3pm.

Given the limited capacity, we will be giving priority to 2020/21 and 2021/22 season ticket holders to purchase tickets.

Priced at £12 for adults and £6 for concessions, fans will be required to enter a ballot process that will cover both games.

This guide outlines how to apply. If you want to jump right in to the process, head to the Motherwell FC ticket website and sign in to your account.

Owing to the tight timeframe, our ballot is open immediately and will close at 6pm on Monday 12 July.

Applicants will receive an email on Tuesday 13 July on the outcome of the ballot.

Should any tickets remain available after this, we will communicate information on a public sale ASAP.

Live streaming will also be available for £10. Information on how to buy will be released shortly.

How does the process work?

This process enters you into a joint ballot covering both games.

The ballot will randomly choose which game you will be allocated. If you apply as part of a group and are successful, you will be allocated seats for the same match and won’t be separated.

While we cannot make a guaranteed promise until applications come in, we hope you will be able to attend at least one of the matches through the ballot process.

Applying for your ticket(s)

First, head to the Motherwell FC ticket website and sign in to your account.

You will need your customer number to log in. This is printed on your existing season card. It was also the final five digits of your username for your live streaming last season.

Once logged in, click tickets and then choose the Premier Sports Cup ballot option.

Household groups

You can apply to sit in a group of up to four people from up to four separate households.

If you wish to do this, you must apply for tickets on behalf of everyone you wish to sit with at this stage. They must also be season ticket holders.

To add other season ticket holders to your application, select add another member.

If they are already on your network, select the people you want to add.

If they aren’t in your network, select outside of your network and enter their customer number and surname.

Due to our limited capacity, we can’t guarantee where you’ll be seated inside Fir Park. You will be allocated seats in one of our three open stands. At the moment, our Phil O’Donnell Stand will not be open for these matches, but season ticket holders in this stand can still apply for seats elsewhere in the stadium.

Wrong pricing

At this stage, you may be told by the online system all tickets are £12, even if members in your household group are concessions.

Don’t worry – you will only be charged £6 for concession tickets. This is a glitch in the software displaying only one price.

Enter your card details

We require your card details at the final stage. You will not be charged unless you are successful in the ballot.

Please remember that if you are applying for a group, you will be charged for all members in the group if successful.

Payment will be taken on Tuesday 13 July if successful.

Next steps

Once you have submitted the ballot, you will receive an email confirmation of your application.

We will let you know on Tuesday 13 July if you have been successful for the games.

If you wish to withdraw your application, you can do so on our ticketing site until 11pm on Sunday 11 July.

Tickets will be issued on a digital or print-at-home basis. Digital tickets can be downloaded to your wallet on your iPhone or Android device, or you can print your ticket to bring to the turnstile.

Covid-19 measures

Supporters are asked to abide by our Covid-19 return to stadium supporters’ code of conduct.

This includes the need to maintain two-metre social distancing between others who are not in your household and the requirement to wear a mask covering your nose and mouth at all times.

We remind all supporters of the Scottish Government’s request to take a rapid lateral flow test twice a week, even if you are not displaying Covid-19 symptoms.

I don’t know my customer number

Please refer to your existing season card. Your customer number is also the digits used at the end of your live streaming username last season.

What if I can’t make the game I have been successful for?

If you can’t make the match, please get in touch immediately by emailing tickets@motherwellfc.co.uk or calling 01698 333333. Please provide your name and ticket information.

We will do what we can to facilitate switches with supporters in the same position, but we cannot guarantee we will be able to swap your match.

If you can’t make the game, and we can’t successfully swap your ticket for the other match, we will issue you with a refund.

Can I buy a season ticket now to enter the ballot?

Absolutely you can, but please note it may take up to 24 hours for your access to the ballot to become live after your season ticket purchase.

Disabled fans

Ambulant supporters should apply through this ballot process.

Supporters in our wheelchair section should not enter this ballot and should instead contact Andy Sim for ticket information on 07428 225254 or via tickets@mfcdsa.com.

I need help applying / it says I am ineligible

If we can help, please email tickets@motherwellfc.co.uk, and we’ll get back to you as quickly as we can.

I was unsuccessful in the ballot or I am an away supporter

You can buy live streaming of both matches for £10 each. Information on how to purchase will be available shortly.

Our Cooper and Centenary bars will also be open for home supporters from 12pm to 6pm and will be showing the match live. Entry will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Bar food and drinks will be available to purchase.

What about the games away to Queen’s Park and Airdrieonians?

We are yet to be informed of ticket arrangements for these games, and whether Motherwell fans will be able to attend. We will make an announcement as soon as possible.

Both matches are being broadcast live on Premier Sports.

Motherwell have secured the signatures of Rangers pair Laura McCartney and Eilidh Martin on season-long loan deals.

The pair, a midfielder and defender respectively, will don the claret and amber for the upcoming SWPL1 campaign.

Laura McCartney

Goalscoring midfielder McCartney has featured and trained with the Rangers first team.

She will be looking for regular first-team action this season and a chance to impress.

“Laura is a great addition to the squad,” head coach Paul Brownlie said.

“She comes with real quality and will be with us for the season, which will help aid her development.

“She is a hugely exciting addition to the squad.”

Eilidh Martin

Also joining on a season-long loan from the Gers is young defender Martin.

The 17-year-old can play at the heart of the defence or at full-back and promises to be a huge prospect this season.

“A versatile defender, with real quality, Eilidh will again strengthen our defensive unit,” Brownlie added.

“Despite her age, she has played at a high level and is a very clever player on the pitch.”

We’ll face Rangers, Aberdeen, Boroughmuir Thistle and Queen’s Park in the group stage of the 2021/22 SWPL Cup.

Paul Brownlie’s first competitive matches in charge will start with a home tie with Rangers on 15 August in Group A.

’Well will then travel north to face newly-promoted Aberdeen on 22 August.

On 25 August, a home tie against SWPL2 side Boroughmuir Thistle will come before rounding off the group stages with a trip to face Queen’s Park on 29 August.

The two top teams in the group will qualify for the next round of the competition.

Confirmed dates, venues and kick-off times will be made available shortly.

The Motherwell FC home kit for the 2021/22 season is now available to pre-order.

This year’s strip will mark our homecoming to Fir Park, after spending the last campaign without fans in the stadium.

You can pre-order your 2021/22 kit now. Pre-order deliveries will arrive in mid-July.

This kit is all about the detail.

We know how important our colours are. Now it’s emblazoned on the inside of the neck too, with our necktape stating “claret and amber colours true”.

A new rubberised silicon badge allows for a sharper design, colour and increased comfort. Plus there’s claret and amber flashes throughout our kit on the collar and cuffs.

We return to claret shorts, with an amber side panel with white trim. The socks also have our claret, amber and white detail, with a claret top and amber bottom.

Not-for-profit health cash plan provider Paycare again sponsor our kit, while we continue to raise awareness of the importance of the anti-suicide message on our sleeve through North Lanarkshire Suicide Prevention. Glen’s Vodka also feature once again on the back of the neck.

Our away kit for the 2021/22 season is here.

The predominantly black kit, with amber throughout, will be worn by our teams as a change outfit in the new campaign.

You can pre-order yours online now.

Once again, the kit is rich with detail.

The amber pinstripe detail down the front of the kit is part of a strict two-colour design, with amber piping throughout the shirt, shorts and socks.

Under the hood, the necktape adds an extra layer of detail, with the words “Since I was young, I followed on” emblazoned on the inside.

Manufactured again by Macron, the shirt also features our main sponsor Paycare and fellow partners Glen’s Vodka and G4 Claims, as well as our ongoing partnership with North Lanarkshire Suicide Prevention.

Our squad numbers for the 2021/22 season have been set.

Notable changes include the moves to number five for Bevis Mugabi and six for Barry Maguire, as well as Steven Lawless taking the number 11 jersey and Stephen O’Donnell switching to number two.

New signings Kaiyne Woolery, Justin Amaluzor and Connor Shields take seven, 17 and 29 respectively.

Motherwell 2021/22 squad numbers

Abby Skelton, Rachel Connor and Claire Adams have renewed terms for the upcoming SWPL1 season.

The trio, who play on the wing, at full-back and in midfield respectively, will be with Paul Brownlie’s side for the kick-off of the campaign in August.

“Our rebuilding process is well under way for this coming season,” Brownlie said.

“We want Motherwell in the best position come August.

“To get the commitment from the current squad shows just how much each of them have bought into the positive changes happening here at the club.

“I’m extremely happy Abby, Rachel and Claire have committed themselves to Motherwell for another season.”

Abby Skelton

Returning for her second season in claret and amber, Abby Skelton has renewed terms for another campaign.

The pacy winger will look to cement her place in the starting side this season.

“I’m really looking forward to the new season at Motherwell and working under experienced coaches,” she said.

“When I heard Paul being announced as head coach, I knew the standard of coaching would be high this season and it’s a real positive step for Motherwell going forward.”

Rachel Connor

Twenty-year-old Rachel Connor has also signed on for another season.

A reliable full-back in 2020/21, Connor will be looking to improve her game once again in the new campaign.

“I’m delighted to be renewing my stay at Motherwell,” she said.

“I’m looking forward to pushing on and developing as a team with Paul coming in.”

Claire Adams

One of the longest-serving players in the squad, midfielder Adams remains at the club for her third season at Motherwell.

“I’m delighted to have re-signed for Motherwell again this season,” she said.

“I know Paul really well. I am looking forward to working with him again, and excited for the challenges ahead.”

The young Steelmen will be away in the tie, which will be played on 10/11 August 2021.

The venue and kick-off time will be confirmed shortly.

Should they progress, ‘Well will host Partick Thistle on September 4/5.

Twelve players have graduated from our youth academy to sign professional terms with the club.

At the back, 17-year-old New Zealand-born goalkeeper Lawton Green is joined by left-back Ewan Wilson and central defenders Sam Campbell, Logan Dunachie and Ali Gould.

In midfield, Adam MacDonald, Kian Speirs and Daniel Hunter all make the step up after rising through from the early age groups.

Forwards Corey O’Donnell and Cody McLeod featured for the first team in the friendly at Dumbarton on Saturday, and turn professional this summer alongside fellow attackers Muhammad Adam and Richard Tambwe.

“We’re delighted for all the boys stepping up and signing professional terms,” Motherwell’s academy director Steven Hammell said.

“We’re excited to see what they have to offer. Every single one of them have plenty of motivation as how their careers can now progress at this club.

“It’s over to them now to continue their development. With the coaching on offer and the people around them who can help them succeed, we’re hopeful they will now show the attitude and application to take their chance.”
