Has certainly changed the look of the old place, but not too much. Putting club rivalries to the side, I think that Ayr have done a really good job since David Smith took over the running of the club in terms of sprucing Somerset Park up. The new stand is a really good mixture of old and new, allowing the fans to still stand on the terraces and seriously upgrading the hospitality offerings on the old portakabin-style arrangement. I was worried that building a new stand would completely change the vibe around the place - but I thought that a new stand would be completely all-seater, and thus I think the essence of the ground is still intact. Will be interesting to hear what it's like when the stand opens after the break and what it does for the atmosphere in the ground. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, lots of clubs (ourselves included) have had periods of throwing silly money at a playing squad in the hope that it works out and promotion is achieved. Our previous attempt at that for a few years consecutively nearly bankrupted the club and led to years in the doldrums. It's been good to see investment in infrastructure and stuff that will help sustain the club in the long term (such as the hub and the new stand/ facilities/ hospitality), alongside attempts to make the club more attractive to folk in the area that maybe otherwise wouldn't bother. With that type of stuff, in time, you hopefully lay the groundwork to be in a better financial position to attract better players - in theory anyway. I'm hoping the roof will help to keep in a bit of the noise from that side of the ground. I'm looking forward to be back standing out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some famous names in the Army team. The referee, Peter Craigmyle, was well known in those days. You can buy a book about him in Aberdeen's club shop as he came from the North East. A top referee not from Glasgow?! The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
