Richey Edwards Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 My first match was at home to Airdrieonians in August 2000. We won 3-1 with Hurst scoring once and McGinlay getting a double. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game where our run at the 1st Division following the 87/88 2nd Division title win came to a grinding halt. 2-0 up and coasting until a season ending injury to Cally let Dunfermline back into it and we never really challenged again. Great crowds in those days on the back of one of Ayr’s most entertaining ever teams. Templeton was a delight to watch - what a pass for Sludden’s goal. Joe Love and Brian Ross didn’t really improve the previous year’s team - remember Ross getting hooked after about 20 minutes against someone. Dunfermline were an annoying team full of wanks like Bobby Smith John Watson and Ross Jack - half the team were called Smith from memory. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrmail Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 The shirts in the 60,70 where they more something the local sport shops like Finnies and Stevenson’s bought in rather than the club supplied items of today? only ask as I never had an Ayr top in those decades had a Scotland top which I don’t remember being all that similar to the actual one and a Brazil top 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've generally played better on plastic pitches in recent years than we've done on grass - the horrific one at QoS excepted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No club shop in those days. Now there are hardly any proper sports shops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghhonestman Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I can't remember my first game. Possibly 64-65 or 65-66 season. The first season I really remember clearly was the promotion season of 68-69. That team contained most of my favourite players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you don't need to be in the top division or have loads of cash to do it right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 The issue isn't artificial pitches themselves, it's poorly maintained and overused ones. I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of clubs train on artificial pitches during the winter months at least. Our climate and insistence on sticking to a winter season mean that they should be an option, but there should be much stricter criteria for the quality of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
