    We want all supporters to feel safe to return to Fir Park as soon as possible.

    Following supporter feedback, we are opening a limited capacity section for our next home match with Aberdeen where social distancing measures will be in place.

    Fans in these sections in the north and south ends of the Phil O’Donnell Stand will be asked to keep a 1.5m distance from others not in their household, and to wear masks at all times.

    If you are a season ticket holder who would like to relocate to these sections for the next game, please let us know by completing this form.

    Applications are on a first-come, first-served basis. We will be in touch prior to the match to confirm your seat change, and to send you a temporary ticket to gain entry.

    If there are seats available once all season ticket holders have applied, we will offer tickets for public sale in the section.

    Please note that we are unable to guarantee social distancing on stairwells, in toilets and at kiosks. Stewards will endeavour to maintain safe distancing in turnstile queues.

    INSIDE MOTHERWELL // Home comforts

    Things are finally getting fully back to normal in ML1.

    The match with Hibernian at the start of August marked the first return for all season ticket holders, as well as the first away support in the cinch Premiership since Covid issues began in March 2020.

    The club’s vice-captain Liam Kelly spent time on loan at the club in the second half of the 2020/21 season, but never got to play in front of fans. Now back at the club permanently, he discusses the emotions of finally getting to line up in front of supporters at Fir Park.

    Darragh O’Connor is one of the new faces at the club this summer.

    The Irish central defender arrived from Leicester City and has quickly settled into life in Scotland, with another popular new recruit close by.

    On the field, a difficult trip to Livingston brought a moment of history, while the month ended with another bumper home crowd as Dundee paid a visit.

    Join our mental health awareness e-clinic

    Paycare Wellbeing has joined forces with partners in Scotland to organise a Motherwell mental health awareness e-clinic.

    The free virtual event, which is aimed at individuals and businesses who want to learn more about wellbeing, will run from 10am until 11am on Wednesday 8 September.

    Booking your free place couldn’t be easier – simply click here.

    It’s being run in conjunction with Motherwell FC and will feature guests Robert Nesbitt from the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH) and Aaron Connolly from Time to Tackle.

    SAMH has been running for almost 100 years, launching in 1923, and is Scotland’s national mental health charity which works with adults and young people to provide support within social care, primary care, schools and other settings.

    Time to Tackle was set up by Aaron and Siobhán Connolly after Aaron struggled to find support for his mental health.

    They run an award-winning Football Therapy programme and aim to challenge stigma, promote open and honest conversations, and create peer support networks to combat loneliness.

    “We are delighted to be strengthening our partnership with Motherwell FC even further by jointly hosting a free webinar focused around mental health,” Paycare’s wellbeing manager Kerry B Mitchell explained.

    “I’ll be sharing some information about various conditions and risk factors, tips on approaching difficult conversations, signposting pathways, and some of the statistics and myths around mental health.

    “I’m sure with the Scottish Association for Mental Health and Time to Tackle both joining us on the e-clinic that it’ll be a really interesting and informative hour for those attending.

    “It’s so important for us all to be having these conversations, especially with more of us than ever likely to develop mental ill health during our lifetimes – and I’d like to thank Motherwell FC for their commitment to highlighting this issue.”

    “We are pleased he will get that from this move. His aim now is to show the quality needed to play week in, week out in the Championship.”
