We have abandoned football completely now. Just firing long balls forward,
we’ve scored

I would end the Clarke experiment soon
Brown seems intent on picking his own players he has brought in regardless of how they perform. Sanders has been poor and cost us a few goals but McGinty is dropped after his in the Dunfermline game.

It’s been pretty eye bleeding from both teams. Ayr with 4 forwards have created bugger all and have just fired aimless balls forward to no one.

I reckon at some point before the end of the season, the “banter” between Michael Stewart and Darrell Curry will break the latter and he’s going to start shouting OH JUST f**k UP MICHAEL YAHWANK

Absolutely pishing @ the suggestion that we'll have 3 shots on goal/create 3 chances.
The Ayr defence would like a word

This all reminds me of Ayr in the early 2000’s no money thanks to Barr fucking off and stiffing us with a tax bill. A stadium that was due to fail safety measures and a new owner based in the states.
The board focused on land that had been (sort of) gifted to us by Barr for the new stadium. It was only to be used for a new stadium and the club wouldn’t really own it so couldn’t sell it. The land being in a prime retail area.
They agreed a plan that would see Wimpey buy Somerset, the money would be used to build the first phase of the new stadium and office space for rent that would pay for phase two. Wimpey pulled out at the 11th hour and we had no money to get the safety work done. The club ended up going part time, selling off or leasing any assets like the car park and club merchandise, catering etc to cut outgoings. We had a chairman who wouldn’t spend money we didn’t have who probably saved the club.
The difference here is that the people who caused the issue and the people tasked with fixing it were two different sets of people. I’m not sure that is the case here and it probably should be.
From that statement, they may as well have said, we put a lottery ticket on but due to issues outwith our control, this has not been successful and we will be addressing this with Camelot.

I remember being in a German hospital for a few days circa 2002... they had beer vending machines next to the juice ones in the lobby... different class place haha!
I think it was 1 mark coins that were the same size as 10p coins. We emptied the vending machine in our hotel of beer for about £3 without appreciating that now it was empty, they would empty the cash when they refilled it with cans. We got a talking to like school children from the hotel manager.
it was Becks as well. Howling.3 -

I've a wee bit more faith in Ayr now but it wasn't that long ago I'd be concerned you'd be getting a warm can of Carling poured into a flimsy plastic cup.
Last April I went to a different part of the Millerntor and it was an older crowd around me than normal and some of the old guys had wee lanyards they were keeping their beers in, wonder if that would catch on at Somerset
First time I went to a game in Europe was Werder Bremen and was amazed you could get a beer. Bought one and realised it was a massive schoolboy error as it was minus 4 and the last thing I was needing was an ice cold pint of beer.

There's no way in hell they're going to open up any sort of alcohol consumption to stand side plebs. There will also not be the supporters club pre/halftime/post match drinks option either in my opinion as that would reduce the value and experience of the kind of hospitality package the club are looking to offer. That'll only change if the hospitality starts becoming unpopular and they require the income. Surely the solution is expanding the hub or pre order/pay for drinks on an app in the hub, a spoons type idea? The way Scottish football is going (look at what Hibs are shouting about this week) you'll not be allowed entry to football while under the influence soon.... Which I actually think is a stadium rule
As much as a lot of fans would welcome the extra opportunity for the consumption of alcohol pre/during/post match, I don't think it's the direction society, local authority or Government are heading in.
The ban is on drinking while watching senior football, you can get a pint at half time at junior grounds. Senior games it’s completely off limits unless you are in hospitality and don’t have a view of the match.
The hub is in a middle ground between being too small for match days and probably too big for every other day. The bar is too small to have 10 bar staff required to serve all the people quickly so pre-orders aren’t going to help. It would be stupid to have a vast space that will only be used maybe 25 match days.The hospitality will hopefully be booked out to offer a service so it is out of bounds to regular folk. In Europe, there isn’t the same culture of sprinting out the ground on the final whistle or before to beat traffic or get public transport. There are activities around the stadiums and bars selling food and drink.
At Ayr, we only have the car park, so folk wouldn’t be happy with 300 pissed up folk hanging about post match with a pint.
Unless there is space around the back of the hospitality or the north terrace its self now it has a cover, having beer and food sold 5-6 might take the strain off the hub and make the club a bit more money.0 -

Don’t know how they would get around that as the Hospitality package is until 6pm and the place will likely be fully booked throughout the season
Not actually in the hospitality but served from the building, either a pop-up bar or one of the food kiosks

Don't see why not, you can buy booze at Hampden for concerts etc
Obviously before a game it would be a nightmare to police, folk standing with 2 pints at 5 to 3.
I don’t see a reason it wouldn’t work other than the fact no other team does it.

What are the licensing laws within football stadiums like?
You can’t drink and watch football, even in hospitality, you can drink in the suite during the game but not in the box/seat.
For instance, would the club be able to sell beer straight after the final whistle from the hospitality suite for people to drink on the north terrace, hospitality grounds to be able to take pressure off the hub and maybe get more people to buy drinks?0 -

He always gave off the vibe of a bouncer. There looked like there was always a rage millimetres under the surface bursting to get out.

Open an Ayr United themed nightclub next to the hub.
Call it Club Bangala.
Delay its opening for months, have a few underwhelming events then just hire the venue out.
Fans will love it.
Lee Bullen has a mate that thinks this is a great idea

Does any sponsorship do anything?
I very much hope nobody was stupid enough to ever put money into Bitcoin Cash.
I bought £40 of Bitcoin cash 2 years ago and it’s now worth £76.
we’ll see who your calling stupid in 30 years time when I cash this in

Absolute bootiful! Maybe work on keeping hold of the ball... but a better performance than we've seen of late with our 1/2/3 keepers!
The good thing is that when he’s not comfortable trying to hold the shots, he’s at least pushing it out of the danger area rather than just palming it anywhere

They should do a prize draw. I'd love to do it.
It would be hugely less shite than the half time penalty shoot-out.

Dunfermline play Dundee United on Friday. You’d expect an away win there, Airdrie play Arbroath, an Airdrie win and it keeps Arbroath at Arms length, the reverse keeps Airdrie in the mix. Queens Park play Raith in a must win game for them. Probably the biggest game is Morton & Thistle. Both have stalled, Thistle more than Morton and a draw would be an ideal result.
a defeat for either team wouldn’t be a terrible result in the grand scheme of things. An Ayr win would put us 4 clear of 9th but would most likely leave Inverness a point behind 7/8th place
An Ayr defeat and we’d be in a slightly better position than Inverness would be.

Been pretty quiet from the club in the last week. Normally it would be the time to build up a bit of excitement for the next home game or social media footage of the team in training etc. Trying to generate a bit of engagement.
But I think after the Dunfermline game, it’s been good for a bit of a reset.0 -
Wonder who will have the honour of booting the ball clean over it first

Will be a bit awkward for Scott Brown to have to interact with the guys who rejected him for the The Caley job following his interview.
Were ICT renamed like Rangers ?

If we are continuing the trend of dropping players after they make errors, we could be struggling to name 11 players for this one.
Who knows how we’ll do in this one. I’d like to go back to being a competent team like we were in the early stages of Browns reign. Hard to beat, rather than the team that went through the motions against Dunfermline without looking the least bit interested.
Inverness look intermittent, much like last season, a team you wouldn’t touch on a coupon. They were streets ahead of us the last time we played up there.
2-1 with Chalmers scoring Ayrs goal after coming on at half time to replace Stanger on the right wing.

Dowds doesn’t score enough but you always had Chalmers and Murphy either scoring or creating something.
The last few team selections have made us absolutely toothless and one dimensional.
Brown had us compact, hard to beat and we looked like we would be absolutely fine, maybe even scrape the promotion play-offs. He just seems to be trying to make it really hard for himself and I don’t really know why.
