  1. You only have a few hundred fans to be fair. I know a few dozen so a good percentage
  2. I work in South Ayrshire. Every ayr fan i deal with has a big team they really support…. I’m sure they all have subscription to Rangers TV
  3. Does Callum not have a 4 year contract, so maybe in 2026….
  4. That sounds like Cameron’s performance at Rugby Park in the first game of the season, he ragdolled Ayrs centre defence all night It was probably the most any of our strikers have dominated a game all season. He’s a good player at this level.
  5. Fowler was Ross’s assistant at Sunderland. He would now be his boss, not sure it would sit right with Ross…
  6. Is the pub open on match days or 7 days a week? The assumption may be that it will make money. Killie have tried various things at Rugby Park with the Sports bar and Killie Club, but not made any profit since they opened. It is now where the club shop is located and we have given up on a bar at the ground other than the ones in the Park Hotel.
  7. I recall that Hamilton were first talking to Ross County about Shaw, but when Killie showed interest he wanted to join us. Shaw scored a fair number of goals last season in top league, so I don’t believe any championship manager would not want him
  8. This is probably linked to squad size. Bigger budget means more players of a good standard for the championship.Apparently we have squad with two players for each position. As season runs and games come quick and fast, players get injured/suspended/ out of form, bigger squads have more option to change things, Killie have larger gates, more sponsors and people used to paying more at games…. As an example, we pay £5 for a pie and bovril at RP. Think it was £3 odds at Somerset last week. Multiply that by few thousand supporters and it adds up. I have business in Ayrshire and advertising for boards at ground is 3-4 times more at Rugby Park than Somerset. Sponsors are used to paying higher premier league prices even in championship. Challenge for us is to get up and justify higher costs, while Ayr have to raise level of income to our level and fund the push to get up
  9. Comes on about 30 mins before kick off, with full commentary from John Barnes (Ex BBC) and a guest or two, usually one with links to away team. I find it a good balanced commentary when i have listened to it
  10. How long is Grants contract? Maybe in season or two you will be..
  11. Squad depth will get us through…IMHO will have rebuild for next year
  12. He had two flaps i remember in first half. Then Murray had clear header about 60 mins in at corner and he was up before ball got to him. Was wind…! It was swirling and he misjudged his jump, probably same way Hemming did in first half
  13. We will win league, ayr wont get relegated. put £50 on it and it will pay your season ticket next year!
  14. I was in west stand and you got deeper and deeper as game went on. McAllister and Muirhead were done. Should have made changes if you had others on bench
  15. We took a neutral tonight and he enjoyed game. I enjoyed. First thirty ayr’s route 1 worked but no real threat. We came into game a bit. Second half we looked good when we maintained possession. Ayr looked like a squad of 11 players, all on pitch. Nothing on bench to try and change…but worse squads in league.. so I should stay up OK
  16. Hopefully we get promoted this year and never have to play league game at Somerset again!
