A bit of polish for someone who isn’t a corporate w**k or there for their birthday treat. I think it’s a fair question. There will be new food kiosks and toilets at either end of the new stand, there will also be a new media room and film suite 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I'm posting anything confidential but if I am, I'm sure @Finlay21will let me know. Hide contents That was a great night. All very informative and great to have three guys at the helm who all seem pretty confident in what they are doing. Mathie said to keep the plans and stuff about the new stand under wraps but VOR has released the pics there so I guess there's no harm in saying how great it all looks. The terracing is to remain untouched but the new building will be added on. The NT will also be shut for a year so we'll all be packed into the SRE in the meantime. Bullen was actually very honest. Especially when talking about Tomi and Maxwell. We've made a good offer to Adeloye but he's so far non committal. His agent has said he's got offers from top flight teams but Bullen says thats nonsense and backed it up by saying that "football guys talk". He thinks that some managers would find it hard to connect with Tomi and thats why he's moved about so much. He did say though that by the last few games, he and the player had sort of reached an understanding where by Adeloye trusted Bullen and that contributed to him being so good in the last few games of the season. Trying to get 6 players in and we've obviously got two in Dipo and Bangala. Bullen said we've got a budget but made sneaky offers to guys in a chance we might get them. Dom Thomas being one. QP simply offered more money. Sibbald was name dropped by Bullen when talking about his Falkirk days which prompted a question about the chances of signing him which Bullen answered by saying he is a player we are very interested in and both he and his agent are very open to the move. However we won't be the only club after him and we'll have to wait and see. That's about exciting as it got on the transfer front. Tried to get a boy released from Sheff Wednesday who agreed terms but then fucked us off for a club in the English 7th tier which prompted Bullen to give him a bit of a talking to and his agent to drop him out of embarrassment due to him reneging on the deal. There was loads of stuff said by Mathie who was really impressive it must be said. Really struck gold by getting the guy on board. The “how much money are Queens Park really splashing about” debate is finally settled. The biggest revelation of the night.

That portacabin type with about 6 bogs really is no use for the NT/half of SRE, especially for big games He did say new toilets for both male and female will be incorporated at both ends of the new stand along with a new pie shop also at both ends 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it'll just be a case of putting everyone in the SRE and seeing the main stand getting more use. Put small away supports in the main stand/enclosure in front and allow home fans in the railway end for those games? When new stand opens I assume it would be just home support in the North terrace with no corner given to away support. I've always wanted that tbh. He said it will be by a game to game basis , no barrier for segregation as teams with small support will be allocated other areas and home fans could then use full length 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think an assistant manager gives you that all that often. If Bullen is happy with his coaching team then I see no need to change it. I get the feeling that he would like someone to buy into the club in the same way he has but everyone he has spoken to has other commitments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked 3-4 but for different reasons they all couldn't do it. It's still a possibility I think at some point. He made a point that some people he has spoken to have all said Ayr is a great club but they have never considered joining us and that is something that needs to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf Somerset park is already a pretty good attraction for away fans. I imagine any further improvements will be made down the line if deemed necessary/possible. He did say there are lots of things needing done but unfortunately he currently does not have the financial clout to deliver immediately and is working through the priorities 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 We’re probably looking at something like this at the moment McAdams Houston ? McGinty Reading Murdoch Dempsey Bangala O’Connor Akinyemi Ashford Subs: Albinson Ecrepont McAllister Hewitt Smith McKenzie Moffat Bryden I haven’t included the 5 youngsters as not sure how much involvement they’ll have. I’d imagine they may be loaned out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably get some some good atmospheres in the SRE with more in. Unless we're shite, then just an extra wee bit of toxicity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Bangala should be officially announced tomorrow. Bullen did ask why they hadn't just shown a #imminent on the screens tonight. Sibbald seems like it could happen but there's always the chance that a better offer comes along and scuppers it for us. Not sure if anything else is close but @Finlay21did say that "some" players were at Somerset today so maybe a few things are closer than we think. Still the rumours about Scott Cuthbert doing the rounds as well as a supposed ex Ayr player. Not sure how true that all is though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
