rb123! Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 That's Dunfermline in the money now, some German consortium just put a big stake into the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have us and Dunfermline ahead of them at the minute. We dont even have a first choice keeper yet so not sure how you can come out and say that. If the 4 remaining signings are at a similar level to the signings we’ve made so far then we could be in for a decent season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what all the bookies pre season odds are based on, what signings clubs have made so far.As you say though if remaining signings are good then that might improve our chances. Still think top 4 will be a big ask, 5th will be about right IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I see the SPFL have announced that clubs will be able to stream their league cup matches as long as the game is not on Premier Sports. Very welcome news imo 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Not much to get excited about in the AP. Doesn’t sound like anything is immediately imminent. It does say a move for a new number 1 is edging closer and MK is keen to use his network of contacts down south. Disappointingly we’ve still only sold less than 400 season tickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think a lot of people are hanging off to see what happens with start of season regarding crowds, don't want to be a downer but with figures having a rapid increase in last few days i can't see fans being allowed in for first game of our season. Do agree though numbers are poor considering a lot of other clubs seem to be breaking records for speed of fans snapping up season tickets, pretty sure Raith Rovers have sold over 1,000 already. Would say advertising has been pretty poor which hasn't helped plus i think they were far too late on going on sale, missed a trick by not getting them on sale in May/June IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say advertisement has been fine however I must admit I’m really disappointed at the lack of coverage around the players being back in training. I look at the likes of Raith and Morton’s twitter and see pictures of them being back in training but absoulotely nothing from ourselves. I really think it would create a buzz that “Ayr United are back” and would lead to more season ticket sales. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 On another note McBurnie who pulled out of the Scotland squad 2 days ago due to 'injury' has come on at HT this evening for Sheffield United in a friendly, he can GTF from the Scotland setup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very welcome news imo Kinda bittersweet tbh. Good in the sense that the club can stream the games, but bad because it makes it sound like there won’t be fans at these games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On season tickets we are doing well against our fan base and based on last seasons figures , I would not be focusing on other clubs sales , went on sale in July when furlough allowed the person to return part time to set the system up , could not set up May or June as no one was working Edited September 1, 2020 by Robbo63 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) I'm still to buy my first (full) adult season ticket so that'll be 401! I'll be expecting an interview with AU Media and a personal thank you from the panda for finally buying one.
