  1. Sorry to hear of John Sludden's death. I remember as a 14 year old during the 1987/88 season he ran up to me and pretty much screamed in my face after a goal. I just about wet myself!

    Also, this may have been covered in P&B elsewhere but last Saturday Jason Leitch was on Off The Ball and his suggestion was that away fans would not be allowed in initially. However that may be him spouting on the spot guff which isn't exactly hard to imagine.

    Agree - social media, smartphones and Covid. The young have suffered enough! Can't wait to get back to Arbroath again for a proper awayday.

    The main thing is that we've avoided the play offs which let's us plan immediately for next season and so steal a march on those clubs who've not been so fortunate.

    Hopefully DS can provide a decent budget and hopefully our fans will get behind the club as we start afresh with a mostly new squad of players one would think.

    Don't know about anyone else but I'll definitely be renewing my season ticket and despite the recent dross I'm dying to get back to Somerset to cheer us on in the flesh as that's what being an Ayr fan is all about.

    Me too.  Back on the terraces. Back travelling to all sorts of dumps away from home following the Super Ayr. Back living again.

  4. How we consume stuff has changed beyond all recognition over the last 12 months. Football is no different. Every lower league club that  doesn't benefit from generous TV deals should have the right to maximise income from those supporters that can make the game in person or prefer for whatever reason to purchase a stream.

    Say for example you had a mad one the previous Friday night (we've all been there) and can't face going to the actual game but would like to view the game hungover from your home? Or maybe you're genuinely feeling ill but well enough to want to watch the game on TV on your couch. Or you're a pensioner or vulnerable person that doesn't fancy the weather on the day or are still nervous about being in a crowd post Covid?

    Every effort should be made to make sure watching your local team is easy, whether on a screen or IRL and monetise that to the benefit of the clubs.

     

  5. Great to see the club finally getting an online half time draw up and running. I've been entering one organised by the Barrow supporters trust for their games and won over £400 last year.

    I suggest they do it for every game, not just home games. Although I'm not sure if they're just intending on making the draw in front of the cameras at Somerset. The Barrow guy just films himself on Facebook live at his PC running a random number generator!

  6. I think most supporters will be counting down the sleeps when the first game with fans is announced. I was fortunate to get to Barrow v Salford (I bought a season ticket) between lockdowns and the rush when Faithless was playing over the PA as the teams ran out was almost overwhelming, despite them being very much a second team for me.

    I guarantee tears will be shed when Ayr run out to fans at Somerset again!
