Game at fir park

[GGTTH07]

Will not be happy if they shove us up to the top tier. Doesn't look like any of us are three on the tele which will create an even worse image of Scottish football.

[Hibercelona]

Who cares.

Why would they spend more money opening up a part of the stand that they don't need to? :confused:

Well open the bottom tier instead of the top tier?

FWIW, we should care as matches being live on TV is an opportuntiy to showcase our team and our league. If the bottom tier is full and the stadium looks full, then surely our game will look more attractive to potential players, sponsorships etc... It's embarrasing when you watch a match on TV and the stadium is empty.

[Chuck Rhoades]

We are in the upper, confirmed. Lower will open when upper is full.

[Pretty Boy]

Said as much on another thread.

It's not a massive deal but Scottish football really does seem to create its own problems with regards to the image we are putting across.

[Billy Whizz]

I hate the upper tier at Motherwell, miles away from the play.
They better have the lower open. How many fans do you think we will take, the usual 500/600 away support!

[LancashireHibby]

The atmosphere is far better in the upper tier though. With the roof being so high, the noise doesn't travel very well from the lower tier.

[HTD1875]

Is there a logical reason that they open the top instead of the bottom tier? just seems stupid to me

One of the section 43 guys mentioned something about the top tier being opened first when the weather forecast to be bad.

No chance of people running on the pitch after goals etc, plus it's a better view (surprised at the number of people who seem to disagree on that score?!) and, as above, keeps you out of the rain.

I also think Motherwell might think that fans nearer the pitch directly behind the goal might be more encouraging to an away team when attacking that goal than in the upper tier out of view to an extent.

Agree about the upper tier very good view IMO was there for the League cup game we won on pens.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i agree with those mentioning how bad it looks for the tv audience, but i personally much prefer sitting in that top tier :agree:

A wee song for you to sing is "The lights only stay on when your winning - when your winning they stay on when your winning "

[Allant1981]

Id rather be in the upper, prefer being that bit higher up when watching games but i cant say it bothers me that much

[cabbageandribs1875]
