Good to see he's obviously still going strong after all the covid closures for a couple of years Was that in the Kyle Centre? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sports bar in the town owned by the club might be better, selling match tickets etc. The council could use the empty shop fronts to advertise local clubs/groups/facilities though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a couple of shops in town selling match tickets , Cafe Ginger ( Wellington Square) Home Bakery ( George Street) I personally don’t think the shop would do much better in town , a great deal of the shop sales come from online and match day so moving into town paying rent and rates would not be any more financially better for us 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we're buying a house which will need renovated as well so it is at present a luxury I can't afford when my wife has also cut right back on things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably a third of the size of the current club shop at Ayr. I don’t think the punters on Ayr high street would be tempted with the casual purchase of an Ayr top or an Ayr United bedspread. A communal shop of Ayr rugby, the Vics, Ayr Seaforth etc probably wouldn’t make enough profit to survive and if it did, would probably dent profits the clubs make in on-line or matchday sales. Having a presence in the town of some sort would be good though, even adverts for fixtures on the LED advertising boards or advertising boards in prominent locations that might tempt folk to try a game or come back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
