I need more glory

Now you may think that a glory hunting Well fan is somewhat of an oxymoron. Let me tell you there was still plenty of glory in supporting Motherwell on Saturday even after we lost in the cup final. Our players were applauded up the steps to receive their runners up medals from all those who stayed until the end for good reason. A top six finish, league cup semi final apperance and a slightly more than narrow cup final defeat  is a tremendous season for Motherwell.
Now as for the glory hunting Well fan, there are two kinds I found out this week, those who, like myself are lapsed somewhat in that we no longer attend regularly but were desperate to see our team in our first Scottish cup final for 20 years, but more of that later.
Then there's the new kind that I and no doubt many other Well fans discovered, the dreaded one week Well fan, you know, people who don't support Celtic. Again there are two types here, other fans of provincial teams like Motherwell, who usually cheer on smaller teams when playing the old firm, especially in finals, your support was much appreciated, Motherwell fans will no doubt return the favour when the time comes, and then there's Rangers fans. Most would support anything playing against anything in green. To them I say, keep your support unless, if you can support your local team when they're playing Celtic, try doing it on a regular basis and with bigger crowds we may acheive more glory, then I'll go more often.
