Milestone - FIR PARK - 50th match

 



Motherwell v Sligo Rovers was by 50th visit to Fir Park, home of Motherwell FC.  My first visit was in 1983 for a reserve match.  Although most of the matches have been Motherwell v Celtic in the league I've managed to attend a number of different fixtures in Europe, cup ties and friendlies.

Teams seen are Motherwell, Motherwell Reserves, Gretna and Scotland U-21 as home sides with the following teams providing the opposition - Celtic 38, Aberdeen 2, Hearts, Dundee United Reserves, Iceland U-21, Italy U-21, Liverpool, Man Utd XI, Borussia Dortmund, Nancy, Derry City and Sligo Rovers.

Total goals seen 133.

Fir Park is the only ground I've went to hospitality having won a competiton in the Metro free newspaper on it's Glasgow launch in 1999.  Motherwell beating Celtic 3-2 in a Sunday evening kick off on 28 November 1999.

The worse day on a personal level was 7 Jan 1984.
The highlight was Gretna v Derry City in 2006.
