Ayr is one that, apart from the segregation fence, doesn’t appear to have changed at all since my first visit in 1970. Absolutely true. Apart from the ones who have moved, many haven't changed a great deal. Some like Stranraer or Brechin or even Queens, have a new structure somewhere. Plenty don't even have that though. We bizarrely enough, now boast the biggest covered terracing in the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The click of the old turnstiles is still the same though, marvellous! Edited October 21, 2018 by paulbrucerick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t saying it’s a bad thing that your ground has barely changed in 48 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset is an easy target, sometimes deservedly so. When there is a decent crowd in it though, it's hard to beat. For me anyway! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the logic of why it makes little economic sense for us to open the Terregles Street terracing unless we're expecting a big visiting support. I do think however that the ground loses a Hell of a lot by usually being three sided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season away fans were put in the stand/enclosure due to low numbers just like the Terregles Street situation. All away fans so far this season have had the Railway End.

parsforlife Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Someset is a total fucking dump. As is cappielow. Terracing will always rightly be a draw, but it doesn't automatically make a good stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would definitely like to see the club/council do something to try and preserve it. You're probably safer not pointing it out to them tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flats are behind the main stand, not the main terracing (Cow Shed IIRC) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
