The Steelmen Dispatch — Issue 5

Issue 5 of The Steelmen Dispatch brings together long-form writing on Motherwell’s season so far, the club’s young players, European travels and the women’s team, alongside reflections on what it means to support the ‘Well.

Available as a Print Edition at £10 and a Digital Edition at £7.50, this fifth issue offers analysis, memories and personal accounts from across the Motherwell support.

There is a look at how the next generation are developing away from Fir Park, a personal account of following Motherwell in the Faroes, and a detailed assessment of the season so far. We also revisit the 1991 Scottish Cup semi-final replay against Celtic, review Motherwell Women’s derby victory over Hamilton and consider the fickle nature of football fandom.

This is a publication for readers who want to spend time with the stories around the club. Independent writing, considered analysis and the experiences of fellow supporters sit together in an issue to read and keep.
