    How many players did Kilmarnock sign in January?

    Only one player was signed that is not a loanee. A further 4 loan players were brought in and we lost Hendry who went back to SJ. Polworth was loaned out to Dunfermline.

    I hate our plastic pitch but there isn’t any doubt that in terms of income it’s been a good choice. I walked round past RP last Thursday night and the place was mobbed with youth teams using the pitch, not 100% certain that it wasn’t our own youth teams but if not then it’s all income that Ayr could be getting too.

    Also saw what looked like a lot of parents in the hotel at the time having coffee etc so with you guys having the hub you could be increasing your income on that too.

    Killie do not make any outside cash from their pitch as it is not available to hire. All teams that use it are part of the Killie set up.

    That is partly true but then you look at Livingston and Hamilton, both with smaller fanbases than Ayr, yet capable of multiple years in the premier league.

    Our policy of living within our means is admirable but also makes success harder to achieve. For years we've just ambled along doing the bare minimum expected of a professional club. You either need a lot of money or a novel approach to get success. We've had neither. But the Mathie/Smith 'revolution' is the most promising thing we've had in 20 years. I hope to God it works because our long suffering fanbase deserve some good times. 

    Mathie is Killie through and through.

    I don't mean to burst your bubble, but you were time wasting when 3-1 up against 10 men. I think you probably will go up, but deary me that side will need almost entirely replaced next season to give you a chance of even being competitive.

    Killie usually give St Mirren all our cast offs.

    You forget to mention that you were parachuted bye the first 3 rounds when you won your 2 cups.   What an achievement winning a few games to win it.   Winning a league over 36 games no matter what league it is, is much more of an achievement than relying on a lucky draw and winning 3/4 games.               Amazing that £13 million of debt can buy you 2 cups though.

     

    I think you will find that Killie have cash in the bank and indeed made another profit last season. If it’s so easy to win the cups then why has Ayr never managed it. In fact no Scottish cup final has ever saw an Ayr team participating in it.

    Most diddy clubs at least win the odd cup though. 
     

    So if you win the title this year you won't accept the cup as its not a "major trophy" and it won't be in your list of honors?????

    It won’t even come close to being an honour. It’s a means to an end and that’s all it will ever be. It would mark the end of our failure over the last two years. E

    You totally miss the point laddie. The Championship trophy is the original 1st Division trophy which we won. To win it again would mean we won it twice. Despite all your stats above Ayr United does not feature on this trophy. Your history above is in winning lower leagues. As a minor league yo yo team that will happen. 

    All that being said your club appears to have started pointing in an upward direction. Good luck for the future. 

    We would get the same trophy but there is no comparison to the two achievements. We were the CHAMPIONS of Scotland when we won it. If we win it this season we will be the best of the dross.
