There are dates in the Motherwell football calendar that stand out. Cup runs, derby days, the big wins – they’re all special. But for those of us who believe in the power of fan ownership, Well Society Day is right up there.
This time, it’s about something even bigger. Make a Million by May isn’t just a slogan; it’s a milestone within touching distance. A movement built by the fans, for the fans, is set to surpass a £1 million reserve fund – a financial safety net that ensures the long-term stability of our club.
Why It Matters
Fan ownership isn’t just a badge of honour – it’s a responsibility. At a time when many clubs are at the mercy of distant investors, unpredictable takeovers, and financial uncertainty, Motherwell FC stands apart.
We are the UK’s first top-flight, fan-owned club, and with that comes a unique power: we decide our own future. Every Well Society member is an owner of this football club. Every penny raised stays within Motherwell FC. Every new member strengthens our ability to compete, invest, and thrive.
And here’s the best bit. It works. Thanks to thousands of fans stepping up, The Well Society has already contributed more than £1million directly into the club in form of loans, donations and share purchases.
Now we’re on the verge of reaching a major milestone: £1 million in the reserve fund. That’s not just a number – it’s a statement. It’s stability. It’s security. It’s a club that belongs to you.
How You Can Help
Well Society Day is a moment to celebrate what we’ve built together. But it’s also a moment to look ahead. To ensure Motherwell remains fan-owned, we need more supporters to step up.
If you’re already a member, we thank you – ask that you consider increasing your contribution if you can – and ask you to encourage just one more fan to join us. If you’re not yet signed up, there’s never been a better time. Whether young or old, and whatever your contribution level, you are part of something special.
We’re so close to the £1 million mark – and with your help, we’ll hit it in May. Join us today and play your part in securing the future of the UK’s first top-flight, fan-owned football club.
