The Ultimate Super Ayr Thread
Thumper replied to D'Jaffo's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I have never ever seen a club lamenting selling too many season tickets and therefore impacting their matchday revenue. Any theoretical disaster spending in the event of getting promoted is irrelevant. Everything the club is doing off-field is in theory aimed at permitting promotion to be a reasonable leap. If it happens at all it will be an enormous impact for a generation. Also, if Derek Stillie is indeed stinking the club up again, the tories will happily step in to use the taxpayer money they allegedly detest to bail out one of their own. -

Prices at Somerset might have inflated but it's not like Freddos, which were still 5p when I was in high school. -

If everyone did it the club would have in the region of two million pounds, which it could presumably use to improve the product and thus the number of walk-up customers. For that price you could go to about 65 games at current walk-up prices. That would mean attending nearly every home match for four years. The club would be mad not to try to lock that in early. They should be offering 50 year season tickets. -

Could the club make season tickets out of breeze blocks perhaps? -

This would be a lot more convincing if VOR hadn't had every single player, janitor and boot boy queuing up to suck Bullen's dick re: workrate and desire as well. -

Ironically this is something which, like with Alan Forrest, would almost certainly have been helped by Ayr being relegated. -

Scott Brown is not going to do something as fucking tinpot as demand his players stop accepting international call-ups. -

If on the last day Dunfermline and Ayr both know a win would send the other to the playoffs then this is great. At least it isn't fucking Morten for a change. At least the brief patch of glory under McCall resulted in the Tannadice Massacre. Even during Akinyemi's golden era it was blatantly obvious that most games were being won because of him alone. -

It's difficult to define the difference between indefatigability and recklessness. Or I mean it would be, were it not for the comparison two days ago between McAllister and Jamie Adams. Partick are more than capable of scudding this squad on 50% anyway, most weeks. -

Does it fit the trolleys at Sainsburys though? -

It's not faux outrage, it's just bafflement that this is a comment made at 10am on a Thursday morning at not at 3am on a Sunday morning. -

I don't think it's fair to say that Rose has only been scoring against part-time teams. He was scoring against Falkirk, in a game he was playing for Hamilton; chances are both of them will be in this division next season. I get the absolute fear whenever people suggest that potential strikers might be "competing" with Bryden and McKenzie for a position. If Bryden or McKenzie are seen as a better attacking option than a given forward at this moment in time (as opposed to when Bryden arrives back from the future with a leather jacket and an eye patch as Cyber-Bryden) then that striker can be considered to have failed at their job. Comparing Stevie Bell and Jamie Adams to Nick McAllister is a far more grevious insult than comparing any given striker to Bryden. -

Whittaker was much better going forward than defensively. Admittedly that wasn't at this level but bombing fullbacks who can't really defend are not really a highlight of the Scottish secind tier. Even if Ayr pick up zero more points this season it'd still require multiple other teams to massively buck their trends. Barring freakish results this weekend it should be practically if not mathematically sealed.
