History Takes To The Walls At Fir Park

The first stage of a major new Heritage Trail through the Davie Cooper Stand concourse is taking shape.

The first corridor tells the story of Motherwell Football Club from its beginnings in 1886 to the present day — a timeline charting the people, moments, triumphs and challenges that have shaped our club across 140 years.

And this is only the beginning.

Over the next two weeks, further displays will celebrate the managers who made their mark at Fir Park, the teams who brought major honours home to Motherwell, and the players whose performances earned them a special place in our history.

The team from Blue Parrot Events Group install the panels in the Davie Cooper Stand concourse, 5th August 2026.

The Heritage Trail will then continue to grow, bringing more of our story to life — including memories of some of the club’s most memorable matches and the remarkable overseas tours that took Motherwell to Spain, France, South America and South Africa.

The aim is simple: to transform the Davie Cooper concourse into a journey through the history of Motherwell FC — giving supporters of every generation the chance to discover, remember and celebrate the stories that make our club special.

This will become a key part of our popular Fir Park Stadium Tour, which will be expanded and relaunched this autumn. The new tour will take visitors deeper into the story of the club, using the Heritage Trail to bring the people, places and moments of our history to life.”

140 years of history. One club. One continuing story.

More to come very soon. Many thanks to the Blue Parrot Events Group for their support.

Fir Park Revamps Continue

Motherwell Football Club Heritage Trust has once again delivered at Fir Park, unveiling a striking new heritage installation within the Phil O’Donnell Stand that continues to bring the club’s story to life for visitors and supporters.

Following last year’s successful transformation of the main entrance, the Heritage Trust has now turned its attention to the staircase – creating a journey through six defining eras of Motherwell FC’s history. As fans make their way up, they are immersed in a visual timeline that captures the evolution of the club across generations.

A key element of the revamp is a series of glass panels enhanced with contravision graphics, each celebrating four iconic managers – John Hunter, George Stevenson, Bobby Ancell and Tommy McLean – alongside standout teams from their respective tenures. The effect is both modern and evocative – blending contemporary design with deep-rooted heritage to create a powerful connection between past and present.

At the first-floor landing, a large display case has been transformed into a vibrant tribute to the club’s travelling support. Featuring a colourful montage of photographs submitted by fans, the installation captures the spirit of following the ‘Well across Europe on UEFA adventures. From distant stadiums to unforgettable away days, the images tell a story that statistics alone never could.

“Miles Travelled, Songs Sung, Memories Made” perfectly encapsulates the display – highlighting the passion and loyalty of the Motherwell support, whose journeys are now permanently woven into the fabric of Fir Park.

This latest project is another example of the Heritage Trust’s commitment to preserving and showcasing the club’s rich history in innovative and engaging ways. Coming up next is a major transformation of the Davie Cooper Stand concourses, planned for over the summer.

With each new installation, Fir Park becomes not just a stadium, but a living museum – celebrating the people, moments and memories that define Motherwell Football Club.

Past, Present, Future: Heritage Matters

The Motherwell FC Heritage Group is thrilled to announce that we have taken a significant step towards preserving and celebrating our club’s rich history!

We have applied to incorporate a charity dedicated to curating, preserving, and promoting Motherwell FC’s proud heritage, which would include delivering a variety of heritage-related fan engagement, education, and wellbeing activities.

Scotland’s charity regulator (OSCR) is currently reviewing our submission to establish ‘Motherwell Football Club Heritage Trust’ as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO).

“Over the past year, our dedicated team has been hard at work exploring the best ways to develop and deliver top-notch heritage experiences for our fans,” explains Brian McCafferty, Project Lead and former Chair of Motherwell FC and The Well Society. “ With the assistance of an experienced sports museum designer, we have also created an array of exciting concept designs that we look forward to sharing with you and taking forward.”

In keeping with our commitment to a “One Motherwell” approach, we will flesh out these ideas further by working closely with the Club, The Well Society, Motherwell FC Community Trust, the Former Players Club, and most importantly, by listening to input from you, the Club’s fans. Your feedback and participation are vital to ensuring that our initiatives reflect the true spirit and heritage of Motherwell FC. Feel free to contact us via this website or by email admin@mfcheritagetrust.com

Our plans so far include:

Stadium Tours: Offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at the heart of Motherwell FC, from the locker rooms to the pitch with dynamic storytelling around our Club’s history.

Exhibits: Both physical and digital exhibits that showcase the memorable moments, legendary players, and cherished artifacts of Motherwell FC.

Education and Wellbeing: Utilising our Club’s historical records to supporting literacy, numeracy and other educational initiatives for young fans, as well as ‘memory clubs’ for seniors.

This is just the beginning of our journey, and we are excited about the possibilities ahead. To stay updated on our progress, we encourage you to follow our journey on this website and our social media channels.

Your support and passion for Motherwell FC are what drive us. Together, we can ensure that the legacy of our beloved club is preserved and celebrated for generations to come.

‘Mon the ‘Well!
