They have always been in the money in Championship terms and the last time they were here they gave Shankland a dream contract and guaranteed themselves the title . Any move for Dipo would do the same and now they have some extra flex if they want to do that ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks as if the line of crash barriers that has been cut down will be where the new stand seats could possibly start so will still be a good amount of terracing which is pleasing. Thought about that area before, but think it's a) too awkward a shape for a full size training pitch etc and b) think that area Jim Kirkwood owns, remember he was wanting to build flats or houses there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if he still owns it, but his planning application for a residential development was knocked back a few years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peil Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Is it just me or are the ticket office a bit of a shambles? A month to confirm they actually got my money for two season tickets and I'm still having to chase them over how I'll get into the Dam Park game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should have been contacted when the payment deadline passed to say they were paid up and x y and z was happening before you get your season ticket. I emailed the season ticket email about my season ticket and ticket for Saturday and Nick was really helpful if you've no tried that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, got a reply at 8:45 yestreday morning saying the ticket company were doing it this week and asking where I wanted a ticket for Saturday and they'd send it through. Replied and just silence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliayr76 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 There's always been a gap in that bit of the crash barriers for some reason,maybe it was to rusted to do anything with. And the old greys factory area that another bit thay could have done something with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like they're either using a bad CRM, don't know how to work their CRM or don't have a CRM (which would be madness). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowl-of-chilli Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 The ticketing system at the club is beyond amateur stuff. It's utterly atrocious. Never get a reply to e-mails when asking about updates. No receipt for the pre-paid Season Ticket or any kind of a confirmation whatsoever. They implement an early purchase system in March, and even for the people who paid in full in March, we're now in July with a game on Saturday that is free for Season Ticket holders but 4 months after paying, when you now log into your Total Tickets account, there's no evidence you have bought a season ticket. How hard can it be? Will be the last time I pre-pay, can't be arsed with this shambles and carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Paid my season ticket weeks ago - don’t think I as much as received a receipt or email confirmation. Not overly concerned as sounds like everyone is in the same boat! Doesn’t look great all the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets planning permission, the value of the land goes up on his portfolio. He also owned the car park until Smith bought it back. As Reded mentioned, the planning application for housing was knocked back, so what else could be built there? Offices? with working from home, its no longer attractive. Retail, it would have to be a supermarket and most of the big names have a store in Ayr already that is out of town. Same with fast food. If the club were to buy it, it would have to make money for us, turning it in to a car park would get money at home games, maybe even an overspill for the horse racing. Training pitch? looks too small Leisure facilities? a swimming pool, gym etc that players use but is also available to the public in the afternoon and evenings? be a pretty big investment. If the council move forward with the Citadel replacement it could be a white elephant. Ideally they could buy it and make money off third party rent but I am not sure what industry would move in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see a thing in my ticket login - when I login and go to the Stranraer ticket page all I see is text telling season ticket holders to login 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
