ftk Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 How hard can it be to set up a social media team of volunteers? Fans or media students from Ayr Colllege maybe?I'm sure it would add value to the club over the long run for little outlay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he look like he was going full beans? Don't know unfortunately- they were split into 2 groups and he was in the one that was just playing that wee piggy in the middle game, I didn't notice him until they were walking off. Was a couple of faces I didn't recognise but probably just younger lads. One was a keeper. On a side note, when Markus Fjortoft noticed my 5 year old watching in his Ayr top he came right over and spoke to us for a few minutes asking the wee man questions etc - seems a right nice guy. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you missed the initial post about tickets you wouldn’t really know there was an Ayrshire derby game on Tuesday night. There is so much content that can be used of Ayrshire derbies at Somerset to really amp things up and get people excited and encourage more to attend - we don’t seem to be marketing the first Ayrshire league derby in decades line whatsoever. Our social media presence is shite. Robbo has said before it’s worse due to Graeme Miller leaving, but until there’s a replacement you’d think the club could at least make sure someone else had a few minutes in their day to look after it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I follow some of the ex Junior clubs on twitter and there's loads of them put us to shame with regards to social media output 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow some of the ex Junior clubs on twitter and there's loads of them put us to shame with regards to social media output I keep up to date on the Ayr Games I miss or can't attend by watching Mattman Aufc on YouTube. This lad must be maybe 14/15 years old and puts on Fantastic videos with coverage of the matches he attends. I completely agree that the social media surrounding the club is, at the minute, pure bawz. Though this young fella Is one for the future definitely, I think it would be good if the club were to recognise what this boy is doing because he's definitely going places, whilst Ayr United coverage is clearly not. Sign him up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Bit of an eye opener yesterday finding out there were about 1,400 at Abroath which is about what we get!! No disrespect to Arbroath themselves as the club is doing well but the town is about half the size of Ayr so paints a very clear picture of our attendances.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 How late do you think you can arrive at the turnstiles and still be inside for kick off on Tuesday, with the passport situation and size of crowd. Usually arrive five minutes before as I hate waiting inside for long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would reckon about 7.25 going by how close to kick off a number of fans leave it to on a Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
