    Apply now for Premier Sports Cup tickets

    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.

    Free e-clinic offers workplace mental health insight

    Free e-clinic offers workplace mental health insight

    Expert tips on mental health awareness in the workplace are on offer during our main partner Paycare’s next free e-clinic.

    Kerry B Mitchell, their wellbeing manager and mental health first aid trainer, will lead the online session from 10am to 11am on Wednesday 14 July.

    She will be joined by long-standing HR professional Paul Owen and Zen Communications Managing Director Felicity Wingrove, to discuss how mental health awareness can enhance morale and wellbeing in the workplace, and how managers can put wellbeing at the heart of the working environment.

    Attendees will also find out about recognising warning signs, approaching meaningful conversations around mental health, how to access further resources, and fostering conditions for good physical and mental health.

    To book your free place on the Workplace Mental Health e-clinic, simply click here. For more information about the range of MHFA-Accredited Mental Health Training offered by Kerry and the Paycare Wellbeing team, visit paycare.org/wellbeing.

    “It’s vital that team leaders and managers have an insight into wellbeing so they can recognise the signs and symptoms of mental ill-health, support their teams and signpost to relevant sources of assistance,” said Kerry.

    “Life has been incredibly tough for all of us over the past 18 months. With stress, anxiety and burnout all on the rise, it’s more important than ever for organisations to be supportive of their employees’ needs. Plus, with happier and healthier employees, organisations enjoy higher levels of productivity, less presenteeism, and increased loyalty.”

    Felicity added: “At Zen, having a good understanding of mental health enables us to fully support the team to flourish within their professional and personal lives.

    “Creating a workplace culture where mental health can be discussed openly has been vital to our success as individuals and as an agency.

    “Employee wellbeing is so much more than just a tick-box or a recruitment headline, there is a significant commercial benefit too: less sickness absence, better productivity and longer retention of staff being among the advantages of looking after staff health and happiness.

    “We’ve been shortlisted for multiple employee wellbeing awards, partly because of the training we’ve undertaken with Kerry and Paycare – but more importantly, we’ve been able to be there for each other through the pandemic and recognise when individuals might need a little more support – and what that support might look like.”

    Introducing the 2021/22 Motherwell FC home kit

    Introducing the Motherwell FC home kit for the 2021/22 season.

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

    The fresh, pared-down kit also harks back to our past with the claret band now extending to the back of the shirt, breaking for the name and number.

    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.

    Martin Foyle departs

    Martin Foyle departs

    Martin Foyle has left his role as Motherwell FC’s head of recruitment.

    The Englishman has departed for Northampton Town, ending his six-year stint at Fir Park.

    During his tenure, Martin was involved in the successful recruitment of a string of players who not only contributed greatly in claret and amber, but also helped generate transfer fees for the club.

    “We thank Martin for his six years at Motherwell,” chief executive Alan Burrows said.

    “His hard work and endeavours during that spell helped us recruit quality players, which played their part in fantastic success on and off the park.

    “Martin and the club had decided to mutually part ways several months ago. Therefore, we have already appointed a replacement, who has been working with manager Graham Alexander on summer business. His appointment will be announced shortly.”

    We wish Martin all the best for the future.

    Suicide Prevention Lanarkshire app launched

    Suicide Prevention Lanarkshire app launched

    A handy new smartphone app has been launched to provide practical support for people who are having suicidal thoughts or who may know someone who is.

    The Suicide Prevention in Lanarkshire app is packed with useful information to help keep people safe and provide guidance on how to look out for others you may be concerned about.

    Details about training and awareness sessions, facts and myths around suicide, how to start the conversation about suicide, and how to access crucial support helplines and much more.

    The app has been created in partnership with both North and South Lanarkshire Council’s suicide prevention initiatives.

    Download the Suicide Prevention Lanarkshire app from your mobile device app store by searching for SP Lanarkshire.

    “This newly designed app will provide a valuable resource for people concerned about suicide,” Lynne McDonald, Suicide Prevention Lead in North Lanarkshire explained.

    “People can use it if they are having thoughts of suicide, or if they are concerned about someone else who may be considering suicide.

    “It offers a number of features providing practical information and support which could prove vital. ‘Let’s Talk’ is the message we want to get across as we try to encourage people to talk more openly about suicide so we can all work together to help prevent it.”

    Paul Kelly, Depute Leader of North Lanarkshire Council added: “It is so important that we keep raising awareness about suicide prevention in our communities. The emotional impact on families, friends and communities bereaved by suicide is devastating and can have awful long-lasting effect on those left behind.

    “This newly developed app will help with our efforts here in Lanarkshire to raise public awareness about suicide prevention.”

    We are long-standing partners of Suicide Prevention North Lanarkshire.

    “It is important we continue to talk about suicide and do everything we can to help people who are considering suicide,” Alan Burrows, chief executive of Motherwell FC, said.

    “Suicide affects so many families in this area and has had a direct impact on our supporters’ families over recent years.

    “We want everyone to know that support is out there, and to encourage people to talk openly.”
