Was he not Gordon Dalziels assistant, IIRC Glynn Hurst talks very highly of him. He was one a number of assistant managers Dalziel had during his time at Ayr. I think he had at least four. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC 1910 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I wish I had the time to offer to the club to help out. Maybe the fans could pool together some areas of expertise, form a “work group” of volunteers that are connected to the club, and can offer some time to help out with various things. Literally just thinking as I type, so forgive me if this sounds total pish. One thing about this season that was a bit of an own goal was not selling season tickets as soon as Killie were relegated. It was a week after our last game if I recall correctly. Little things like this might help. Organising a “registered” fans poll for strips. Player interviews. Podcast (Derek) etc. So much engagement can happen to help capture and grow the next generation of season ticket holders. Even a little thing like Tomi going over to the supporters at the end of the Hamilton game - these things stay and bond fans to a club. I personally think all the players should be over to the support (Covid distancing obviously) at the end of every game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do this in Germany in particular Dortmund and they have a huge affinity with the support 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think all the players should be over to the support (Covid distancing obviously) at the end of every game. The harsh reality is that the vast majority of players who play/have played for the club couldn’t give a f**k about the club or the fans and we’re just simply a wage to them until they get something else. Of course there is a few exceptions of players who have played for the club and immediately “got it” and make a real connection with not just the club but the town as a whole. Nicky Devlin is the name which immediately springs to mind. Edited July 26, 2021 by ayrunitedfw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one a few seasons back at the Nomads game (my pal had a spare ticket) and I'm sure it was just a number they announced.
