Maybe with the club now owning the car park, there would be an option to have a fan zone type set-up where you can buy a drink and mill about outside in the car park area Assuming permission is granted for the beer garden/fan zone (and I wouldn't be surprised if there are objections) you won't be able to leave that area with your drink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social distancing is meant to be getting fired into the sea on 9th August so come then there should be no issues with covid restricting the numbers unless there is a spike in hospitalisation and deaths and the government have to re-introduce restrictions which were obviously all hoping doesn’t happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEd Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Just now, diegomarahenry said: if that area was the perimeter of the car park like I was suggesting, you could have probably have a few hundred on a good day I can see it taking up the area currently occupied by the portacabins, but I think that would be it. The car park will still be needed as a car park. I could be wrong though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure we could do a deal with the racecourse for parking on days they don’t have a meeting. weather and opposition will play a part on how much demand there will be from Week to week, if there is demand then we need to do as much as possible to meet it, for home and away support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 He's zero for fucking fifty this summer in terms of the actual footballing side of affairs (but very quickly knew exactly why Smith had never been an option, from Sources, after having said nothing on the subject during all the speculation), and still gets upvoted every time. Quite the feat. A week to go. Still no midfield, best two strikers are still not fully match fit; on top of that, one is nearing retirement and the other is unproven at this level. Chairman retweeting stab-in-the-back theories that call other clubs "tinks". Even _this_ is getting excused. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even _this_ is getting excused. I don’t think it is being excused, just ignored mostly. if the poster on here was so offended by it, they would have reported him to the SFA or the SPFL, he could have contacted him direct on Twitter if he wanted to but he chose to come here and call Ayr fans racists. because of footballification, some folk take it as an insult to the club and try and defend it. The term used has various meanings and one is connected to the travelling community. Like calling a homeless person a tramp, it’s language that has changed. If he wants, or anyone wants an apology from the chairman. They can ask him for one rather than Ayr fans. Much like Cameron and his political views, complaining on pie and bovril will do f**k all. On the club recruitment side, maybe he needs help running the club from a director of football, someone like Alex Smith at Falkirk or Craig Leven at Brechin That has been over the course and doesn’t want to manage any more but knows when players are likely to take the piss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 It’s going to be hilarious when no one signs tomorrow either - definitely the most boring pre season for a while! Absolutely gagging for an imminent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 James Maxwell has started following the club on twitter. Did someone say Daire O’Connor was following the club as if he was he isn’t anymore. I gave him a follow last night and he followed me back straight away. I see he done similar with @GaryMc93 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
