Don't usually buy a season myself though. The trolling reference was when I had a good rant about season ticket prices two seasons ago before eventually buying one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morten fans right now are unanimous that they don't have a pot to piss in. 1 hour ago, Thereisalight.. said: I've saw nothing from Dempsey to justify a 3 year deal. A three year deal shouldn't be remotely concerning for a proper football club. The default should be that everyone is under contract for at least two seasons, instead of losing three quarters of your team for nothing every year. Look at how quickly McCall's last team was stripped for parts, earning Ayr United the square root of f**k all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure saying that we have benchmarked the price of season tickets and that is why the price has went up is the right thing to say. Maybe saying increased costs have hit the club and they have to adjust the price accordingly or something like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrfix Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I am not able to go to many of the home games because of work and my location (Grangemouth), I can only justify a season ticket if the games are streamed. Finlay 21 do you know if this is the case or not? I have seen another ask the same question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 100% sure but I have heard that SPFL are saying games can’t be streamed due to lifting of all covid restrictions, but nothing official has come out yet , I have put the question into the team as I will be selling tickets tomorrow and need the answer , will post as soon as I get reply Reply We hope to be able to provide a streaming service for matches next season. Unfortunately, we are currently not in a position to confirm.Still awaiting any official announcement from the league Edited May 16, 2022 by Finlay21 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many of us with work commitments the streaming services (however variable the quality!) give us an opportunity to watch games live that we otherwise wouldn't have. I don't understand why the SPFL would do this - surely this just gives an additional revenue stream for clubs? It's not as if any broadcaster is looking to purchase the rights to show matches live on Saturdays. Unless the SPFL is planning to replace the current arrangements with an alternative provider this just seems to be a retrograde step for both fans and clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the SPFL is planning to replace the current arrangements with an alternative provider this just seems to be a retrograde step for both fans and clubs. It wouldn't be an SPFL decision. It would be the resumption of Uefa Article 48 which covers broadcast blackout hours (which was suspended during covid). It is expected that these rules will be coming back into force. In the UK, the blocked hours cover 3pm Saturday games. Streaming is likely to be allowed for overseas fans but not domestic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Notice he says it’ll be a bit of smaller squad next season so I’d imagine one of our centre backs might also double up as a right back. So long as we don’t simply recruit guys that are Jack of all trades, master of none I’ll be fine with this approach. We need at least two out and out centre backs if that’s the case and one out and out striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 With seasons now on sale I wonder if we'll get trickled signing news maybe once a day for the next week or two just to capitalise on sales and build up some excitement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hewitt was a right back at youth level granted most of his performances in the first team have been center mid and McAllister is a RB maybe with those two plus Houston Bullen feels we have enough to cover and just need two natural center backs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 If we’re going with the two players for every position which I’d imagine is what the club is looking for we’re probably looking something like this GK- McAdams, Albinson RB- Houston, McAllister- personally don’t think either are good enough to be a starter so will probably need someone else in. McAllister can player centre mid and possibly centre back (?) CB- McGinty, New CB- New, New LB- Reading*, Ecrepont CM- Murdoch, Dempsey CM- McInroy* Smith, Hewitt Wingers O’Connor, Ashford, New Strikers- Adeloye*, Moffat*, Bryden, New *Indicates they have been offered a deal but haven’t yet re-signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think we're desperately short on FBs. I agree with you that Houston and McAllister aren't good enough and I personally thought Reading's form dived towards the end of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
