  1. Hi All.

    I have noticed there has been several references to the AU 500 Fund in recent days and thought it might be useful to give an update for those who are interested.

    The AU 500 Fund relaunched as the AU Player Fund in September 2022 with the same commitment that all monies raised from monthly membership goes to the Ayr United Player Budget. We know have 250 + members with over 100 joining in the last year. Members monthly payments vary from £5 to £100 per month and this regular income allows the Fund to guarantee the Club a £50,000 contribution to the Player Budget even without any fund raising events or auctions.

    We have now run two shirt auctions. Last years which apparently was “a bit of a shambles” raised just over £6000. It was set up at very short notice and conducted via email which made it very difficult to show live bids. This year we have used Match Worn Shirts. This was much more professional with the shirts displayed and current bids available to see. However with all the add on costs encountered by the bidders and the % taken by them we need to consider if we would use them again.

    So the AU Player Fund is doing  well but always looking to improve and increase membership. If anyone is interested in joining please email info@auplayerfund.co.uk

    Not sure if this is posted elsewhere but might be of interest anyway..   The site heading says it is shirts from the Dunfermline game on Friday but it includes other shirts from previous seasons too.

    Yes all proceeds to the AU Player Fund. Auction going well but still some shirts without a bid.

    I agree about Murdoch, he hasn’t been the same player since he did the acl the last time. He was getting closer to his original form but it’s gonna be a real challenge for him to get close to that now. 
     

    How do people feel about Ahui starting the next few games and getting a run in the team? Was he better than Mcallister 

    Think he deserves the next game, at least, after yesterday’s performance.

    Every chance he bought it in case the club resurrected the Wimpey bid for housing, Once that was dead in the water, It would make sense for the club to have it. If someone bought it and built a unit there, it could cause problems on match days with access.  

    Have heard there is a problem with ground contamination from the old railway yard.
