Shibuya Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 1 hour ago, diegomarahenry said: The club played down speculation on the new training ground. Is say it was beyond speculation when a club employee says it. Just coming out and saying, Ayr, I’ve bought it but we haven’t even started any funding or planning applications so there is no news for the foreseeable. The land registry will, I assume be updated so it’s not something he can hide forever Club have been very careful not to announce any signings until the paperwork is done. I would assume it's a similar situation here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cats out the bag now though. Maybe he’ll be more candid at the Q&A night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought about the land off east park road where the stamp works used to be would be an ideal spot but it's a large area and I think earmarked for housing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMc93 Posted Wednesday at 19:45 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:45 Unfortunate Smith wasn't involved at Ayr when the council started talks with the rugby club to sell Dam Park. Looks to have been sold for £200k. Could have replaced the pitch and you would have had the benefit of a training ground and a place suitable to host the U18 and women's teams instead of them playing in Cumnock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would depend on the use, he could buy it and use it as a car park while he waits for the permissions. Make some extra cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted Wednesday at 21:10 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:10 I am guessing that there is no chance that the Falkirk game on the 5th of October won't be moved to the Friday night for TV on the 4th, the same night as the Q&A is arranged? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Falkirk not have their home game against QP put on the tele? Given the BBC rules where they only visit the same ground twice a season then I don’t think Falkirk will have a live game shown on the Friday night until after the turn of the year. Probably the same with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted Wednesday at 22:26 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:26 (edited) I will be raging if that game gets moved to a Friday night, I wouldn't be able to make it. But aye, I'm assuming the BBC will keep the other Falkirk home game for later in the season. Hopefully.
