Well and Dons treat fans right
It’s an interesting few days coming up for Motherwell and Aberdeen supporters.
Two games in four days across two different competitions— both of which will be broadcast live on BT Sport.
First up, there is the Betfred Cup quarter-final on Thursday night.
The game will finish off three days of League Cup action and then on Sunday the two sides will meet in the league.
Having a game under the lights in front of the TV cameras still has a special feeling to it.
Anyone who disagrees isn’t a true football fan as far as I’m concerned.
I think out of the four cup ties, Thursday is the best chance of a cup upset.
A Motherwell side who have only tasted defeat twice this season coming up against an Aberdeen outfit who have drawn their last two games in disappointing fashion.
A cup run for Motherwell is something the club have been sorely lacking in the past few years and they haven’t made a real run at any of the domestic trophies.
There’s a positive feeling going around Fir Park right now and every game is a winnable one for Stephen Robinson’s side.
The fact the players and management left Easter Road disappointed with a tremendous draw against Hibs speaks volumes.
The positivity is infectious and thankfully the supporters are responding in kind.
Three home games in a row have seen an increase in the crowd and now with the return of Fir Park football on Thursday, the importance of the backing from the stands can’t be underestimated.
What’s also pleasing is the fact that Motherwell and Aberdeen have addressed the anomaly of two games in a row.
Tickets are only £10 for adults and £5 for concessions for Thursday’s game, which is great value if you’ve seen any Motherwell games this year.
In return, the Steelmen have also tried to entice Dons fans to return to Fir Park on Sunday with a reduced ticket-price offer through their season books.
Motherwell fans have a similar offer for the Pittodrie visit in November.
It’s a great example of clubs working together to help fans.
