Hawk89 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 20 minutes ago, Richey Edwards said: I remember Ayr United playing Manchester United at Somerset Park. A certain youngster who would later become a superstar and make a massive mark on the game was playing that day. That player was Sean McGinty. Also some diddy called Paul Pogba played. That was some day out, especially with the joint ticket for the horses as well. I think most of that MUFC select side went on to have pretty respectable careers, only one of two of them turned out to be utter jobbers. Manchester United XI: Kuszczak; M Keane, McGinty, Norwood, Thorpe (Cole 15) (Givern 88), Fryers, Drinkwater, Gibson (Lonsdale 90), W Keane Fornasier (75), Pogba, Petrucci (Lingard 53) In comparison the Newcastle side from the John Traynor testimonial; John Karelse, Diego Gavilan, Stephen Glass, Ryan McGuffie, David Beharall, Mark Boyd, Jamie Coppinger, Jamie McClen, Lomana LuaLua, Colin McMenamin & Pedro Dimas Substitutes: Joe Kendrick for Glass (15), Stephen Brennan for Beharall (46) & Pablo Bonvin for LuaLua (46) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Cuthbert was absolutely brilliant in goals and Roddy Patterson missed at the end by a couple of inches. Worked very hard that game. Paul Pogba alone was bought again by Man United for 100 million, could you imagine an Ayr team with that money? Oaft! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) I went along to the Moffs game yesterday. I knew it would be a fairly dull affair but even if we had been playing a "juniors" XI , I'd have wanted to go along and give thanks in some way for his service to us. Kudos to whoever did the programme, lots of great interviews with past managers/players as well as his family. As for the Man Utd game, it always brings back so many memories of my old man and I taking advantage of the racing/game deal. The Lingard that played wasnt Jesse iirc. I've got the team sheet somewhere but fck knows where Edited September 25, 2023 by Thereisalight.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole building looks like it's engulfed Sad that it's had to come to this but getting rid of it will be great. Could make the site into something really nice, but for years its been a bunch of old duffers stuck in the past trying to save it when it's clearly too far gone. Get rid of it and upgrade the train station, add some shops and flats, would make the town center way better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHonestman1910 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) That fire has done more contribution towards the hotel than the authorities have in 5+years. Can't deny it's brilliant to see providing no one is hurt. Edited September 25, 2023 by THEHonestman1910 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) The public consultation results on what to do were published not long ago so hopefully this means they can get going as soon as possible on redoing that bit of the town. There's a big footprint there so a good chance to redevelop into something that is actually decent. Unfortunately I doubt there will be trains running for a while at least.
