We have 3 out of contract players in January , I heard 2 will be offered deals to end of season on different terms and 1 will move on, the 3 are Docherty, Ferguson and Higgins

I am certain the figure banded around was over £10k and that I fully believe due to source

Shanklands salary will definitely be a five figure sum weekly ,

If I was a betting man , I would be putting big money on Rose going to Sunderland sometime in 2019 , most likely end of season , would not rule out pre contract in January

Anything over £350k will see him go and best of luck to him , Moore and Moffat good enough to keep us going ( plus the possible replacement for Shankland )Take the money to keep club going as god forbid but Shankland could get an injury and be out for season and we then get nothing , there’s more to this club the Shankland ( even though he is a big part of it )

Don’t think we would need to replace Docherty ( if he goes ) we would need someone as cover when Lawrence goes , believe Swansea have a player they are keen to send out on loan in January who is from Scotland ( Falkirk I heard ) could be involved in the Shankland move if/when it happens

Don’t think it will be down to Ayr , the boy has a potential great career ahead of him , he has done well for us and I think it would detrimental to him by the club if he wants to go and we keep him , means we could have an unhappy player for the last few months of season which would be doing no one any good Ayr Fans please note Somerset road end turnstiles are out of use on Friday night , enter by turnstiles adjacent to hospitality entrance and the Railway End ,

Final score 5-0 against a team who beat us about 5-2 in league recently scorers Hilson ,McCowan x2, Ecrepont , McKenzie

On the other hand , why would a team pay lots of cash for a player they know they can get for nothing on a pre contract thus giving the player a great singing on fee , I truly believe Shankland will show appreciation to Ayr by staying to end of season , can’t see Ayr forcing through a transfer , the money we get for finishing in top four would compensate for a transfer fee

I take a walk down to Ayr Campus and regularly watch the training when out walking the dog

We currently train local , we use the facilities at Ayr University

First team squad players taking part McGuffie, Docherty, Higgins , Ferguson ,Moore and Hare-Reid also fringe player McCowan

Very young team , no first team players in squad , with the exception of sub goalie Hare-Read and very occasional sub McCowan , played decent football , the Albion goalkeeper had an exceptional game , saved a penalty along with the rebound and at least another 3 very decent saves , Ayr never under any real pressure , 2 goals in a 5 minute spell in first half , their goal was a total blunder by Hare -Read

Full credit to Laughlin and McCall , seems to be a very good connection between them and the supporters, something we lacked previous to McCall coming along

Totally agree with you 100% , we were never going to win and were not too disgraced going by Rangers last 2 Home games , we gave them goal 2 and 4 , was always about the money and no injuries , they are the most consistent team in Scotland over last 4 games

The cops were total wankers that day at full time , locking in home fans to let the knuckle draggers out first , total opposite of what every other club do , just heard Garry McCallister on TV there and he says they are treating the Ayr game in exactly the same way they did Villarreal, I hope he knows that we are more lethal than Villarreal

I currently have a spare ticket , due to a member of my group buying ticket after asking me to get him one ,

Not so sure on season ticket holders not being able to get a ticket, as the last 40 odd went on public sale after the 2 days of season ticket holders only sale

Reserves 3-2 v Airdrie , Craig McGuffie hat trick , another 90 mins for Doc and Higgins

Free admission , advertised on Ayr Twitter , currently 2-2 , McGuffie with both goals

Strong team tonight for reserves with first team squad players McGuffie, Moore, Higgins, Ferguson ,Harvie McCowan Docherty all starting

Last year home fans were around 1300 this year just under 2000 , a rise of over 50% , that’s pretty decent in my book

Falkirk at home on 15th

Let’s show our support to him by getting down to Dumfries in big numbers ‘Ian McCalls Black and White Army ‘
