Dam Park was going to be taken over and redeveloped by Ayr Rugby Club. However they've since announced plans to do work on their current home Millbrae. Unclear why Vic's are having to vacate just now. Vic's plan in the long term is to move back to Whitletts area (about 300 yards from the old greyhound track). Currently just an all weather pitch -been dubbed 'New Voluntary Park'. Vic's Community Group very recently announced that they received funding for the redevelopment of the pavilion building there (left of the picture below) into a clubhouse and improved changing facilities etc. Currently just standing room round the sides of pitch - could do with a bit more investment in years to come. Understanding is that the 1st team aren't moving in straight away and will instead groundshare somewhere initially. Daily Record article from last year on the initial news. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/ayrshire/ayr-sports-venue-sale-sees-26469271 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumnock or Bonnyton I'd guess as the WOSL doesn't allow groundshares on grass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I had thought Troon maybe, but if that's the case with grass pitches (makes sense) then Cumnock would likely be best option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Fwiw Whitletts aren't due to play at home again until 11th November, so they've had a couple of fixtures flipped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooft. Surely that's going to hurt income wise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will possibly help them, to be fair, as I understand their ground isn't quite ready yet so would need to pay a rent somewhere else for a groundshare. I'm not sure the money they would make from the crowds at the 3 or 4 home games at a neutral venue would cover that expense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclear why Vic's are having to vacate just now. The rugby club still intends to take over Dam Park. Talk of them using it for their youth programme. I'm not sure whether the latest development is down to them or whether the council has decided to abandon Dam Park since it has no further use for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) What's been happening at Kilbirnie? Surely their fans must be concerned with their start and they can't afford to go down again? Their used to be quite a few of the Kilbirnie fans on here but went right quiet over last couple of years. Although I do think they should finish above Cambuslang, Whitletts and perhaps Neilston come the end of the season but not guaranteed.

Hard to say what you have in the last paragraph with any certainty. This league is mental competitive. Hope Kilbirnie come good as they're too big to be in Division 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Committee have doubled down, support have drifted away, rookie manager,mediocre squad of players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
