Calayrdonia Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 The things I would most like to see, is firstly to somehow re-build/re-structure part of the main stand to be able to remove the pillars. Those are awful and really restrict the view no matter where you sit. There’s so many as well that you can’t avoid it. The second, would be to either put a roof on the NT, or build a new stand there. I, like many others, feel that it’s far easier to watch/follow a game when viewing from the side rather than behind either goal. To not have a stand on either side without a restricted view due to pillars, is really quite poor in this day and age. The biggest no-no for me, and I pray it doesn’t happen, is for them to announce a plastic pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I quite enjoy not having a roof on the NT, on a sunny day there is nowhere better to watch the football. I fully appreciate we don't have many sunny days but when we do it is glorious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 St Johnstone, QOS, Annan and Elgin in the league cup. Am I right in saying top seed is always at home to 2nd seed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at last years fixtures it looks like you are correct Hopefully away to St Johnstone and Annan and home to QOS and Elgin , we got Elgin recently up there on a midweek night Edited May 25, 2022 by Finlay21 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully appreciate we don't have many sunny days but when we do it is glorious. I'm sure I heard that there would be an "option" of retaining an open standing area outside at front of the new NT. I also believe I heard something about a folding roof which could be rolled back in good weather with standing at front, seated area at rear and commercial / boxes etc along the back. Who knows ? but this is Smiths game after all so I'm sure he'll know exactly what he's doing and I'm also sure he knows what the fans are asking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully appreciate we don't have many sunny days but when we do it is glorious. We're in the big leagues now. Get a retractable one. Anyway, last few pages: Why the f**k is a Celtic youth player living in Fife? If I was in my early 20s and had gold-plated rottweiler money to spend I'd be right in the middle of Glasgow. The single substantial reason for any rumoured moved to Partick if because of McCall's long list of previouses. However this has always covered players who he actually had himself beforehand. It's not that he thinks that playing for Ayr United magically makes a player better. It very frequently works the other way. Talk of making the pitch plastic is utter madness. It's one of the best lawns in the country on its day. A plastic training complex makes much more sense. I do hope all the people who expressed incredulity at the notion of handing out two- and three-year deals are now looking at the Adeloye situation with a bit of understanding. If a gamble for an unknown player does work out then you certainly don't want to immediately lose him for f**k all after having advertised him to all your competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty I’d be happy if we started pre season needing only two or three additions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 I did notice Mathie saying in the AP that we don’t currently have any players on the books over the age of 30. He says that bringing in experience is something that they need to do this summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 You don't win anything with kids as someone once said. We definitely need some experience in the squad. These guys make the difference when you are up against it and need a reaction. They can lift the younger guys and coach them through the game when they need it. I'd love to have the equivalents of Bell, Geggan, Kerr, Higgins, Adams... every one of them a leader and several the club captains of their previous clubs. We need 2/3 of those types to fill the role. We had a good blend of experience and youth in 2017/18 & 2018/19. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
