In the debut episode of Motherwell Daft, Crofty checks in from Canada while Peter joins from Wishaw (not Motherwell… but close enough).

The lads kick off the new podcast by explaining why Motherwell must have a fan show this season — especially since Crofty has stuck a bet on the ’Well winning the league.

The pair dive into a nostalgic chat about their days as teenage stewards at Fir Park, memories of Roberta in the pie stand, and their later gigs hosting hospitality and stadium announcing.

From Hampden with Paul Cooney to five-year stints in the lounges, the boys have been around the club long enough to have stories.

Then it’s onto the football: Why Motherwell fly best under the radar The absolute VAR shambles in the recent cup tie The transformation of O’Donnell, McGinn and others

Why St Mirren away is never a given & how Aberdeen was a wake-up call — and why the league is still on (maybe) With kickoff 25 minutes away, the boys predict a tight, nervy game — and agree that a scrappy 1–0 would do just fine.

A warm, funny, chaotic introduction to a very Motherwell kind of podcast.
