That’s exactly my thinking, surely it can’t be that hard to pull together plus local business with food trucks and bars would absolutely rake it in? Pretty sure they showed all the Scotland games at Cameron’s bar during the last tournament, wonder if the club would do something like that again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could use the car park but I’m not sure the neighbours would like it too much. The council will be spending too much on making up for the neglect over the last 15 years on the roads around Troon. Can’t have American tourists seeing the scabby roads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrExile Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 4 hours ago, UpInTheAyr said: Mind when we were all sympathetic about McInroy not signing for us because it was too far from home, then he signs for the manky mob up the road? Love this time of the season when the mental gymnastics are in full effect. Players don't sign for us, eh, they're not that good anyway etc... We also have the situation where our best players might not be back next season. Other fans favourites because the previous manager liked and backed them may also leave. Could be a new level of mind shift this close season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a new level of mind shift this close season Apart from Dowds, Chalmers and Murphy I'd struggle to name another 'fans favourite'. Albinson would have been on that list last season too but otherwise this squad is almost entirely dispensable. McGinty has been better this year but is certainly not irreplaceable either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrExile Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 2 hours ago, Nelson said: McGeady is just done. No idea why we signed him. Chalmers is capable of moments of sublime quality, but I’d say he flatters to deceive the vast majority of the time. Hasn’t kicked a ball since Brown came in, which at best suggests he doesn’t fit with how Brown wants to play. He’s not good enough defensively either. I was up at the Partick game last week and the number of times his man just ran/jogged away from him was ridiculous. It’s been a deeply mediocre season for us, and yet Chalmers didn’t seem to trouble many people’s list for player of the year awards, which I think counters the belief from other clubs fans that he was our best player. Under Bullen Chalmers used to float around the entire pitch, gather the ball and make things happen. Slightly different with Brown where he does a bit more defensively and fits into a system. Whilst i would rather he stayed we will need to see the way Brown wants to play next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know who’s out there that is going to suit the management style of play for next season and I believe they will get the players required , you just never know what gems are out there rather than always looking at the normal merry go round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Russell Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 2 hours ago, No_Problemo said: You don’t tend to get any high energy, pressing, good defensively wide midfielders at this level that are also good creatively - they don’t really exist. Josh Mullen certainly fits that description, he's been a great signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please no more last minute randoms who look like they've never seen a ball before this season though. Watching guys like Ahui was truly grim. Tough job they've got with this rebuild, no doubt about that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only me... Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 2 hours ago, Superhursty7 said: Scott Burns reporting Muirhead to Livi if that's the case I can't see Martindale wanting Dowdes as well. Need a pinch of salt with all these reporters. Says Livi want Muirhead. That's as far as it goes just now. Livi may well hand pick the strongest from this league to weaken the competition IF they have the funds to do so. If we don't sign Dowds I think its because we are getting someone better in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn’t done Raith any harm. Thing is, signing players from the lower leagues in England won’t create interest re season tickets. Not bought mine yet which I’ve normally done by now (no real reason why I haven’t) but if they signed a Robbie Crawford or a Dillon Easton or numerous other good quality Championship player’s that are available I’d go and get mine straight away probably as others would do. Would show folk intent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
