Inverurie Locos - Only 500 Motherwell tickets

Last updated : 16 December 2008 By Firparkcorner

The notice on the Highland League club website reads…

Motherwell will be given 500 tickets for the match which will be played at Harlaw Park on Saturday 10 January 2009 at 3pm. In the event of a postponement or a replay, this will take place on Wednesday 21 January 2009, at 7.45pm.


Segregation will apply for visiting fans who will be housed at the north end of the ground which has had its capacity confirmed at 2500.

For home support, tickets will be on sale at the forthcoming Keith game on Saturday 20 December from 2pm until 4pm at the club shop inside the ground.


They will also be sold on Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 December between 7pm and 9pm in the social club.

Individuals will be restricted to a maximum of 2 tickets per person which will cost £15 for adults and £7 concessions/child.

The restriction will disappoint many Well fans. The first Scottish Cup tie of the season has always been one which traditionally attracts a huge travelling support but this time numbers are very limited. It had been thought the tie might have been moved to any of the larger grounds on the north east coast.

Given that the much postponed third round tie against Vale of Leithen attracted a meagre tally of 608 spectators there was hope that the allowance might have been more generous but the scramble for tickets will start now.
