ftk Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Where is this land ? Over in Heathfield somewhere. Maybe it has been built on now I'm honestly not sure. Glad we never moved anyway. Would be like Airdrie or Clyde. Rubbish! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazza Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Rumours of Leeds and Bristol City sniffing about Michael Rose of Coventry City. Did he not ask for a 5% sell on clause to thank Ayr for his development so maybe a 6 figure sum given Coventry are now in Championship they will prob ask for decent fee. If he is that good surely must be in consideration for Scotland given the dross n depth we have at centre back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always under the impression that it was across the railway from Lochside. If it is, I walked past it today and it is just overgrown wastelands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overgrowth is concealing the construction of our new stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I was always under the impression that it was across the railway from Lochside. If it is, I walked past it today and it is just overgrown wastelands.I thought it was behind Asda but maybe not.Cameron did an interview with someone a few months ago which was on Spotify. I'm pretty sure he said in that about the land that is still owned at Heathfield but the preference long term was to sell it to a housing developer and use that money to buy out the land behind North terracing and build a new main stand that side.No idea how much the Heathfield land was purchased for, at that time with the financial markets I'd imagine it was top end stupid money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Their is a patch of land down Newton beach between the railway and the main road which you could maybe just about fit a stadium in which would be perfect. Imagine the wind coming off the sea right into the stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1nickydevlin Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I've always thought that huge bit of wasteland behind west sanquer road that runs too kg5 would be ideal for a new stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Potentially it's Jim Kirkwood that owns the land at Heathfield as his company applied for planning permission on it last year. Appears to be the same date he applied to build behind the Railway End at Somerset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochwood Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I walk my dog over the ground regularly, it has been surveyed and pegged ready for development a while back, guysdoing the surveying said it was for housing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I am sure the land is owned by the Barr family, to be used for the building of a new ground only, I am sure Cameron was asked why we didn't sell it and use the money for the development of the club in a Q and A It is probably why we had that guy Gilmour sniffing about, promising a new stadium as long as he built the cinema and restaurant complex first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
