Teams weren't able to train on it, even warm-ups were to be done on a patch of grass behind the goals. The pitch was ruined during the early days of the Daziel era to get a televised cup game on, they sanded it heavily and it cup up a lot. It took a few years to get it back to a bowling green surface. In the last 4-5 years it has been dreadful. Is it Gus Hollas?He was with Troon for a while. Killie as well. Also had a short spell with us I believe. Ni idea but I think he was at Kilmarnock and they hunted him because he was very restrictive on what could be done on the park. I got the impression he wasn't much of a people person from the stories I heard. Think there was a thread on here in the junior forum at one point about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochwood Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 100% was Gus Hollis started at Crosshouse amateurs and he also used to run the Killie youth set up before the academies started, a painter and decorator by trade so no idea how he got into looking after football pitches. I would also agree what people posted about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Does anyone know exactly when Smith's loan is up? I had read his contract with D Utd was due to expire this week which would obviously mean we wouldn't have him on loan any more, but haven't seen it mentioned so assume he is at least available tomorrow? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North British Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Any news on our hunt for a centre forward ? Some curious stuff in the Ayrshire Post . Smith saying he’d back Kerr to the hilt in the transfer market and also Kerr saying that agents were holding out to get the best deals for their players ! Putting these two statements together had me thinking we were looking to sign a striker rather than just borrow one ..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of chatter about Smith signing is a bit concerning This probably sounds a bit daft but I don't think Smith leaving would be a major disaster as we seem to have neutralised his undoubted quality and class by the way we've been playing recently. A big dumpling goalscorer might actually be a better bet. That said, I really like Smith and would far rather see us play the slick passing game involving him, Moff, McCowan & a fit and firing Tom Walsh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you may have something here , I’ve always thought the late signing of Anderson and Smith weren’t in the plan as such and were more a knee jerk reaction to the failure to land Drinan after waiting so long . I think theplan was Walsh , McCowan , Zanatta and Moff for the wings and no 10 . However after Drinan never happened , Anderson and Smith were too good to turn down with options running out . However letting your best player go to one of your play off rivals isn’t brilliant, maybe we’re just thinking of being in the Championship next season .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 SPFL have written to all championship clubs to see if they want to continue or suspend the league. At this point in time, I would be happy if they awarded Hearts the league and promotion and pooled the remaining prize money and split it between all 9 teams. Been a shitshow for Ayr this year and I think every club bar Dundee (on current form) would feel aggrieved if it happened just now. None have been contenders and playing to a finish will only see a heavily weighted play-off structure meaning a team probably wont go up through the play-offs. Plus points of continuing, clubs can continue to make money from streaming etc Minus points, more fans might be lost to football with streaming not being the same and habits being broken. Personally I hope it continues, if it is suspended it has the potential to be a complete farce. if it is suspended part of the consultation should be a reduced18 game season. currently Arbroath are 5 points from 8th, That would send a message this week that they have 8 games and 24 points available to secure safety. they could rearrange the fixtures to meet the BBC contract also and provide opposition for the play-offs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Not entirely sure why we need to have this vote on whether to suspend the championship or not considering we've now got the testing in place for all the clubs. Inverness seems to be the only one's moaning about it so i'm sure Gardiner has something to do with it. As others have said though i wouldn't be fussed either way if it was stopped and got to the stage where it couldn't be completed since we've obviously been pretty hopeless this season. Was more annoyed last season cause it stopped with us in 4th and didn't allow us to compete in the play-offs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I can’t get signed up. On my phone when I click sign up it brings up the page and I can add my email and password then when I go to scroll down to complete it scrolls the back ground. I’ll eventually be on my laptop and it’ll probably work, but seems a pain and not everyone will have a laptop or that to fall back on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could pause the video and fast forward or rewatch a bit. It never let you do that before. I was on Google chrome on my mobile. Worked great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
