The AP usually does a sheet with all the games and dates on them in pre season so the club could do something like that but the issue is that it would be difficult for them to target people. When I go for a hair cut, there is a poster for Troon Juniors, Marr rugby and Kilmarnock home games for the next month hanging in the barbers. Things like the Academy and the dash of pink etc raise the clubs profile but that doesn't count for much if it doesn't raise attendances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BukyOHare Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 1300 season tickets, give or take a few, is the level we're at as a club. I wouldn't see it growing much more than that. An average home crowd of 2000 would be a fair enough figure to budget for too. In the year 2023, there's many more things for people to do than going to a match on a Saturday. 40 years ago that wasn't the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as ones advertising the next upcoming home game Interesting. In that case they need to expand their mailing list and show people how to sign up. For example, I play the lotto every week and get an email about that, but have never heard of this other email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not needed at all. What the comment on Instagram? That’s an ex teammate no? Fwiw I think it’s more him wishing luck to his pals elsewhere rather than a goodbye. Although I wouldn’t be shocked to see him away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the two clubs in the league closest to us in terms of size. At a complete guess, one slightly more, one slightly less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was something along the lines of “that you away? ” But yeah, think it’s clearly a start if the season post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys not brilliant but we’ve had loads of players come to Ayr and not try their arse and taken a wage. Ashford is one that’s come and had a few moments where he’s done well but put a shift in every single game. Would love nothing more for him to play well. Either here or somewhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that on the SRE, nothing about it screams hes leaving. I took it to be our league was starting as well as the English lower leagues and he will know a fair few lads down there. As usual with the SRE, folk see things that arent there. Paranoid androids 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, completely - discuss your thoughts on Ashford all you want but don’t go posting a direct comment to him on his Instagram when he is trying to be positive about the season starting. I do think he potentially has a role to play, even if that’s coming on to help us see out a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been bumped to about 5th in the pecking order so he needs to come out flying at every opportunity which can only be a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 While having a look for Ashford's post, I noticed Bangala's latest post was by a pool. If that was recent I doubt it was here, maybe we'll pretend he never existed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 From what I remember, our average attendances haven’t been much different from Raith, so I’m guessing we just have more PATG attendees - which ultimately makes the club more money in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
