F.T.O.F.1910 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) What was the crowd for the man u game, bearing in mind it came with free race day tickets...!? If it's a O.F. or K*llie reserve/junior team, no thanks and I believe the ticket sales will be crap. If it's a full strength-ish team... then treat it as not only a money spinner but community engagement, with no decent cup runs of late, I feel this is needed to get the town sparked up. I detest the OF... but will take the money, happily. The stand also needs the fanfare etc... I'd love us to play Feyenoord, but that's a football fan, not an Ayr fan. As an Ayr fan, I want the money, the chance to bolster our own support and also the advertising/brand awareness. Ps. We should be playing for the AYR-Shire fuckin Cup! DKB's.

I am sure Solksjaer was the manager as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-ish Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Remember when Blackburn Rovers bought a full squad of Players who'd go on to win the Premier League the next season for Allys testimonial? Shearer was a notable absence but still some team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) I mind us having a pre season game against a decent Bolton Wanderers side a number of years ago. Maybe a 1-1 draw. Think it was the same pre-season that we battered Motherwell, and everyone was cautiously optimistic of a good season where we would challenge at the top end for a return to the 2nd tier, then ended up being very shite. Edit. Aye, 12/13, we finished 7th in League 1. We also put 6 past Clyde in the league cup in August, which helped fuel expectations.

We played Southampton the week he signed for Blackburn so he didn’t play, we played Blackburn just before he signed for Newcastle and he didn’t play. We played Newcastle in John Traynors testimonial and he didn’t come up for it. Stuart Ripley was a big name in that Blackburn team, he went for a ball with the Ayr keeper on the day, Wullie Spence. Spence missed the ball and cleared Ripley out the 18 yard box in stead with a right boot to the ribs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, we played Cluj a few years back when they were Romanian Champions. We played a few when Reid was manager in some tournament Kenny Moyes arranged. Can’t remember who they were though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have missed that. It was 2012. The only other foreign team I remember at Somerset was (I think) Gornick Zabrze from Poland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously had that howler against us, I’ve not actually seen enough of him to tell so just going off the comments of Partick fans. Whether there’s some hyperbole after his strike last night I don’t know! To jump standards so quickly and well is very impressive though, so you would think he would continue to kick on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 https://gmfc.net/germany-vs-scotland-cappielow-kickoff/ See Morton are running a night at Cappielow for the Germany v Scotland game. £20 gets you a pint, get to keep the stein and some food. Surely something we've looked at doing, would imagine quite a lot would be interested and a fair few quid raked in through the bar? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
