Said this earlier in the thread, as long as our season ticket holders are looked after and we have a decent number for public sale (eg 500-1000), I'd be very keen for Ayr to get an allocation.

Not sure how you segregate it to give them an allocation (even if we had enough tickets, which we won't)

18,000 seats and no away supporters at the opening league game of the season?

Absolute tinpot, small-time, Ayrshire cup stealing, debt wiping, portacabin selling, plastic pitch, blue and white striped bunch of soap dodging, couch surfing so and so’s

You’ve had a whole pandemic to sort out the Moffat!

We don't have 18000 seats available, that's the issue. We have under 10,000, a third of which we are allowed to use in Level 0 and be lucky if we have enough tickets to cover season ticket holders. 

Biggest issue here is the SPFL putting this game first game of the season when they knew there was a huge chance of restrictions. Even without the Moffat, we would have 13,500 seats by August 9th.

Was assuming the Moffat and Frank Beattie would be back in operation which would mean they could get the Chadwick. If those are out of use then obviously that's more difficult.

Nah, we have two stands availble on Monday i believe.

Only folk in Main Stand will be folk usually in Directors Box.

Capacity is under 10k just now as Moffat shut for refurb and Main can't be used in Level 0 by all accounts. 
We are allowed 3,700 and have just announced over 3500 season tickets so zero chance of away fans sadfly. 
You really didn't need to name a stand after the Moff appreciate the gesture though.

Cant complain with those numbers, would have hoped EAC would have allowed a bit of a larger capacity tbh.

As was said in another post, if the SPFL cared about anyone else bar the two sets of Glasgow mutants the game wouldn’t be the first game of the season.

ST holders and 200 to Ayr - would have been the right thing to do

So, you have 2 stands operational.

I know that offices are going into the rear of one of the other 2. What’s up with the 4th?

Toilets in Main Stand are same entrance/exit and seeminly not allowed in Tier 0. 

Farcical tbf, as it holds. over 4,500 and could easily get say 800 Ayr fans in there socially distanced.  

Toilets in pubs have same entrace/exit but Scottish Gov think football covid is more dangerous. 

Real shame, if the SPFL had any foresight they would have put this game in septemer but no, only fixture they are interested in hand picking dates for are the old filth. 

Gutted for the fans of both sides that can't attend, looks like we'll be locked out Palmerson the following week which is a kick in the stones.

Not sure you segregate that though socially distanced and only 2 stands, that;s the issue. 

Not met a Killie fan who doesn't want away fans there but with capacity allowed and the number of season ticket holders, there is sadly only one decision that's right.

The Frank Beattie is not compliant with EAC Covid regulations. The turnstiles are deemed too narrow and the toilets are inside the stand with only one door for both entry and exit which stops a one way system being in place

You’ve got to laugh, haven’t you. The bureaucracy that councils come up with is unbelievable!  Toilets? Pubs - fine. Restaurants - fine. Offices - fine. Football stands - OHHHH NOOOOO!!!!!!!
