I’m really not sure why a graffiti art style project would be patronising tbh, they are pretty cool projects and make use of skills some young people have - if it is something that they are interested in. You would obviously do it in conjunction with a company that are experts in that type of stuff and work alongside them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coollestersmoothe Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 SAC could tap the young team to paint the Ayr mural trail like in Glasgow. The town is crying out for a psychedelic painting of Bill Mcwilliams on a random gable end. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a terrific addition and I'm sure we've got young fans who could absolutely nail it. Offering it as a pay off for giving Celtic their spot as way of compensation is a pathetic suggestion and clearly doesn't reflect how strongly the young guys feel about this. They're hardly going to trust the club to do right by them after this just because there's a mural on the wall.

Fair enough, I think there needs to be a number of things offered to engage that age group - so just one of many. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can guarantee you that everything will be forgiven once the team win a game or two or a good signing is made. Football fans are too fickle to hold a grudge over something this petty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sold the whole support out when they chose Celtic to open the new stand. They knew exactly the reaction it would receive and the resentment it would cause. They knew that Celtic fans would get far more out this game than Ayr fans would. They knew from the off that the ground would be 75% Celtic (at least). They made a business decision and dropped their drawers for money. Some folk are happy with that. I'm not. Not going to cry over it and when we get a decent player signed I'll more than likely move on but they've lost the trust (again) of a lot of young fans. They'll never learn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club have spent the previous two summers blowing smoke up the arse of the fans that do go in to the SRE. Any disappointments of not being able to stand on the terrace for a year was rebranded as how great that "all" of our fans would be in together making noise in there blah blah. It was party line at signing interviews at one stage for anyone that had played at Somerset before to mention something about that part of the ground. Would be fair to say (or at least I think so) that some young people may not have realised this was just propaganda and thought it was organic conversation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again though, the reaction has been pretty mild on the whole. There’s a group of fans unhappy about it but the club can’t please everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I propose letting the young un's choose the songs for half time at the Celtic game, and then a thumbs up selfie with Smith in the hub after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 This is just degenerating into utter madness now. The simple truth is that nowadays, it is nigh on impossible for a club like Ayr to secure such high profile opposition for a pre-season friendly due to the costs involved. So in this case we’ve leveraged Scott Brown’s relationship with Celtic to get us a novelty game at a fee that is apparently much knocked down from what you would otherwise have to pay. We get a novelty game in the early pre-season sun (go or don’t go) and a ridiculous payday to boot. If you wish to be mildly irked at being shifted from the SRE (as has been done on several occasions for games against Celtic and Rangers over the last 25 years) then fair enough. But it’s hardly and outrage or a betrayal. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
