The seventh edition of the Motherwell Matchday Magazine hits the streets tomorrow night when St Johnstone visit Fir Park.
Our new-look 64-page publication has received some excellent feedback from the fans and continues to me a must read on matchdays.
This week, Craig Brown shares his pre match thoughts, talking candidly about the defeat by Hamilton at the end of October and putting things right at the Caledonian Stadium last Saturday. The former Scotland boss also praises his opposite number and reflects on a couple of International call-up’s this week.
Top scorer Nick Blackman chats about loving life in Scotland and his desire to stay at Fir Park in the “From the Dressing Room” feature.
We also have an exclusive 8-page chat with flying winger Chris Humphrey who talks honestly about his new life as a father, pains of the past and his current form, which has led to calls for the Jamaican-born 21-year-old to be included in Craig Levein’s Scotland squad.
We have a ten-page section dedicated to our visitors, St Johnstone, including a player-by-player account of Derek McInnes’ side. Peter Elder takes us back through time to recall some of the good and, erm, not so good encounters between the sides and Kevin Macgregor, aka Radford, gives us the fans view from McDiarmid Park.
Alan Temple examines the fascinating battle between Youth and Experience as Craig Brown prepares to lock horns with Derek McInnes.
John Sutton talks life coaching, punditry and Police reprimands in “Pot Shots”. The latest bout of Brainiacs is the battle of the midfielders – 2005 Cup Semi Final hero Marc Fitzpatrick versus the young upstart Ross Forbes. The winner faces a tough test against either Stephen Craigan or Jonathan Page in the Quarter Finals in the most important Motherwell quiz for, well, ever!
And that’s not all… We look back at the 1-0 defeat by Hamilton and the 2-1 success at the Caledonian Stadium last Saturday, there’s a review of the U19’s clash with St Johnstone as well as the latest ticket information for our next six matches.
The programme, priced at £3, will be available in the ‘Well Shop with sellers in and around the ground from about 6pm.
