AYRSHIRE_ANGUS Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 One thing about the next two home games (let's assume we don't make the playoffs) is that it represents the last time we'll get the chance to stand on the North Terrace in its current guise. Is it just me, or is that not quite a significant moment especially for us older supporters? I just feel the club should be shouting about this in advance of Friday. A lot of lapsed fans or occasional supporters might want to experience it one last time and might not be aware of the change. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, I was gonna go to the Queen's Park game for that reason only but I see it's on Friday at the same time as the Hamburg derby. No chance. Fortunately there's still the Raith game before the season ends. The club are instead pretending we are going to catch Dundee who are 7 points clear with 9 to play for 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring back the black and white shop until the end of the season! I used to spend my pocket money on Ayr badges and random programmes from English teams. Happy days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I would imagine Dipo would want a London based move. Hopefully he gets it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming he could get that same pay packet up a level though, and if he does well you are then looking at the championship where the ridiculous wages tend to start… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have a recent history over the last few years of signing players from Scotland. I think he'd do really well there, they've turned Andy Cook into a goalscoring machine this season and Dipo's a far superior player IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get promoted then it is undoubtedly a good move for him, but if they don’t it is a bit of a wasted year playing at that kind of level. At best, he would then be 27 before getting any kind of shot at even league one level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always come across as a decent guy so I'm sure he won't rush into anything. Its a unique situation for us in that we have a say as well as the player himself. A nice position to be in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve narrowed it down to: Dipo v Dundee or Partick Dempsey v QP or Cove Chalmers v Partick Not sure how I’m deciding my favourite though I thought at the time that Houston's against Dundee was sublime, though it's lost a bit of its lustre watching it again. Still a great goal. 1 hour ago, BukyOHare said: They have a really good chance of going up automatically and regularly play to crowds of 15000 at home.

There will be plenty of pishy rumours circling about for months to come. No reason to react to the first one.

Trogdor Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I take most of the SRE with a pinch of salt. The majority of them don't even attend games. At least, I hope they don't as they must be watching different games. Most of their takes are utterly bizarre. I don't use Facespace so only really see it when you lot post it here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
