rb123! Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 A win for us would be a fantastic start to the season, being able to beat a team from the same league we'll be competiting in would be a big morale booster aswell. The squad on Saturday won't be a million miles off what we'll start the league but a few finishing touches are required with GK, CM and possibly CB. Think the starting line-up will be the same as 'calum-ayr' has said unless Murdoch and a GK sign before Saturday. Pre-Season has been pretty decent with 2 wins and only 1 defeat but wouldn't really say the attacking players have all clicked yet so probably more goals will come from us. Goalie situation isn't ideal and personally i'm a bit worried about how the defence will link up with Hare-Reid on Saturday at set pieces etc but willing to give him the chance to prove himself.

jagfox Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Seems to be a flat pricing of £12/6 across all the ties. Not on Thistle season card and can’t even be added to the card pre-match which is a bit shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Think Ayr are 13/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All four Thistle games are £12 and £6 but I think Ayr United home games are different prices. 8 hours ago, GrahamJags said: Not being able to add it to the season card is ridiculous.

The decision was taken by the ticket office team to remove adding the game to the card to save confusion on matchday from 1. supporters who were mistaken that Betfred Cup ties are part of the season ticket and 2. Anyone who tried to add the game on their card and encountered some sort of issue resulting in non entry before the game. I believe at the Livingston second leg there was a small(but higher than normal) number of punters who had issues with their card and entry to the stadium. Given that it was our last game at home, I'd say the ticket office team have tried to make things easier for supporters on matchday by removing the thing which caused issues at the last game by going back to physical tickets(particularly since the game isn't on the ST) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_the_rover Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 How would it work adding it to season books if gate revenue is split? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact same way as if you were purchasing a ticket for the game. Adding it on the season card means you'd use your card for entry rather than getting a paper ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Seems only yesterday we lost the play off but fair play we've rebuilt and we begin with a pumping of Stenhousemuir on a gloriois ale filled day #wegotthis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madton Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Won't make Sat but delighted competitive football is back. I am worried about Sat purely because we have a new team still getting to know each other, probably only have 4 starting from last season, whereas Ayr have a similar 11 which won the league. We have played a couple of friendlies, but worried the players will need some more time to gel. Should line up something like; Scully Kilday Kerr Buchanan Iredale Millar Tidser McAlister MacLean Telfer Oliver Bench- Farrell, Strapp, Langan, McHugh, Armour We have had winger Dean Hawkshaw (previously of Killie) and defensive mid Kyle Thomson from an American Uni team training for a few weeks now and have both been involved in all the friendlies so would imagine they might be offered something this week. Also had who we think was Reghan Tumilty ( ex Ross county, on loan at Falkirk last season) on trial and played right back last night so potentially another one to sign before Sat. The starting 11 looks decent an should have enough about them to get a result but the bench badly needs a bit of experience and quality on there. ( Derek Gaston, Robert Thompson and Denny Johnstone all injured at the moment) Optimistic 1-2 win! Oliver and McAlister with the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Looks like we could have another few ex Morton boys in the team on Saturday. Andy Murdoch has agreed to sign and Ross Doohan has been strongly linked with a loan move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kerr isn’t fit to start one of them will play in midfield anyway. Murdoch won't have had that much of a pre-season or played in any bounce games. Will he start?He’s played in all of our ore season games, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will do well, will be able to link up well with shankland Mcdaid Moffat and moore or whatever combination play. All of which are very good players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
