UpInTheAyr Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Assuming we stay up actually quite looking forward to see what business we do during the summer, considering what they pulled off in January. Assume Bullen will have more of a say in things this time around so not sure what type of effect that will have on the process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of good things happening off the pitch with the club. We need to stay up though, I am actually feeling better about the prospect of doing that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North British Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 12 hours ago, D'Jaffo said: If we’re looking a potential line up for next season then I’d hope we can line up like this. A lot depends on keeping guys we’ve got and getting the right new signings in. McAdams New RB New CB New CB Reading Dempsey Murdoch McInroy New RW Adeloye New LW A new back line is pretty much required even if we have Houston and McGinty signed up. There’s a player in there with Houston but his confidence is shot to bits and I think he could do with taking a step back and working his way back into the team. I really wouldn’t be against us signing an out and out defensive RB to allow Reading more freedom to attack on the left. New Keeper New Right Wing Back Muirhead New Sweeper McGinty Maxwell Demsey Murdoch McInroy (in an ideal world) Ashford Adeloye 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I see the club have published the accounts. I don't really understand them but the message from the club is positive. Maybe to early for the hub to make an impact on finances, I don't imagine the club shop will be up or down in terms of sales by much. Match day revenue, it would be interesting to see if there is a higher uptake on streaming than the normal away gate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long term loans down c.£1m (thanks Lachlan). Balance sheet is almost in positive territory as well. Net liability of c.£100k. Probably the best set of accounts in about 2 decades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The accounts published are for end of June 2021, so the hub won’t have impacted that at all as it was only started to be built after that was it not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for the current financial year, it is still early days of it being established and I wouldn't have expected it to have made a huge difference as yet if you take in to consideration buying stock and hiring staff etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not an accountant so happy to be corrected on this - also not sure if they are close to going above the threshold to be classified as a small company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death in Vegas Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Mental that if Lachlan got his finger out over here and took a good business approach to Ayr he might not have lost millions. I’m for one really shocked. Guy set as back years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) I popped into the Hub for first ever visit after game on Friday, had just planned on walking home but the equaliser had me in a good mood so decided on the spur of the moment to pop in for a quick pint. Phoned my mate and my dad from queue to see if they fancied joining me as they were walking home in other direction. Ended up staying until closing time and having 5 or 6 pints, and getting a photo with Sean McGinty like the absolute 38 year old child that I am. It's a cracking addition - in previous years I'd probably have popped into the Market or something for one or two on walk home and hearing some local Celtic fans asking if Ayr had been playing. Great to be in with fellow Ayr fans, club getting the money and the odd player popping in. On the other hand - thats 2 or possibly 3 games in a row I've been at and just got waved through without having to scan ticket as the system was down. Really need to get that sorted somehow.

Superhursty7 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I'm no account but these figures seem to be good, I know Smith has his critics and has made some horrific decisions on the pitch i.e not binning Hopkin at the end of last season when a blind man could see where it was going, but off the pitch he's 100% the man to push us forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t imagine the likes of Mathie will be pleased with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Honestly just bin the ticketing system. At this point it just seems to create more problems than it solves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I think the ticket system has been a good thing in the main. The season ticket cards with the QR codes certainly help. The user interface isn't the best tbh that would be my biggest gripe. It would be good to get an app. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same log in details as you'd use ordering through the official site and the season ticket sits under Member Cards. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=totaltickets.AyrUnited&hl=en&gl=US https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/ayr-united-fc/id1575918934?platform=iphone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk89 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Would be good if there was an SPFL app that you could add your season to and buy away tickets via. Probably a bit radical for Scottish football but, would make life so much easier for fans and maybe even clubs given the operating costs would be pooled and the hardware required could be bought in bulk. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
