But he’s now played for his boyhood club At 16 he's lived most of the folks on here's dream. As for big Fraser again how many of us have dreamt of bursting the net infront of the SRE, gives youn a wee glow inside seeing young Ayr fans coming through the academy and playing for the first team. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a really happy camp at the moment which goes a long way to getting results at any level. Were Murdoch and Albinson rested today? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t see him wanting up at all before the game, but guess he could have been in the boardroom/stand with Mathie. Aye he was sitting in the stand with Murdoch (at least it looked like his heid anyway) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) 58 minutes ago, Trogdor said: The only disappointment today was the attendance. 1,498! Given it was £12 and a combined event with the rugby team, I was expecting better than that. The reason that people who live on Hunters Avenue knew that an international bowls tournament was happening at Northfield Park was because they got cones put in front of their houses. It's very difficult to advertise local events when local media has been completely eliminated. McCall complained about this but there's no easy fix save for sending Boab down the street with a loudspeaker (which, sad as it is, worked last time).

Previous manager built one our most expensive ever squads, of almost 40 players, last season and we lost around £2m. MacLean shafted trying to cut that squad and wage spend while having multiple dross high earners still on the books. Our bench today was full of literal kids. Definitely think you guys could be 12th in the Prem unless you get a few bodies in. Absolute woeful cup displays. Long season ahead for you imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking pretty grim just now at McDairmid. Seems to have been a couple of years in the making. Wasn't aware of the extent of the financial losses in recent times, that doesn't bode well. St Johnstone have been the poster boys for a lot of clubs our size of making it work in the top tier. I take it the decision making both at board level and by the previous manager has just been way off the mark for a couple of years? Also, a 3 year deal for MacLean - Did the club give a reason for that length of contract? Edited July 29, 2023 by AuAl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree he looked shite We had someone from St mirren too urminsky, only appeared once in Ayr colours. Jack McConnell from Rangers too I think other than Doohan and Sinisalo, we've not had a good loan keeper in recent seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spent and they won two different trophies. Clubs in a certain position (ahem ahem) would almost certainly kill to be in the position of being a bit shit in the top flight and doomed to a few seasons below as a result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been a well run club, Davidson did well and was backed after selling top talent, the players that came in weren’t up to it and they signed more. And they weren’t up to it. He also stuck to a formation that wasn’t working. He got sacked, McLean has shifted on a lot of shite but they still aren’t signing good players and have a manager trying to find their feet. Could be a bad season for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem with the club's execrable social media stance: any facebook dipshit can say anything he wants and the club doesn't even bother refuting it.

Sadly was stuck to virtual viewing today, which was a really frustrating experience and I'll probably write to the club about it. So many of the basics just done really badly to the point they hadn't even bothered to clean the camera lens. Seemingly they not longer use zoom either on the main camera so even on our 65" TV I had no idea what was going on at either end of the park. Suppose it serves me right for not being better organised to be able to get down today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
