Having the good parts of Cappielow is a privilege, not a right, and you guys blew it. There are no good parts of Crappielow.

Superhursty7 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 As opposed to building a single, successful franchise club for the town of Ayr, which definitively has not. Nah mate we are attempting to build the best community club in Scotland, watch this space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly siding with them just want to see as many Ayr fans up there as possible. Also prove a point to these Inverclyde Greenock b*****ds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be an excellent point if anyone was actually disputing that the main stand has terrible legroom and is a poorer place to watch football than the WDE or Cowshed, or disputing that the ticketing website is a shitshow which needs replaced. No one has, they've just explained why away supports get put there, unless there's a suggestion from the away club that they'll bring more fans than can be accommodated in the stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilScotsman Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Is there no legitimate way to pay for a stream outwith the half or full season ticket options?

There was until this week when the club changed it. They said its outwith their control and Raith force you to sign up for monthly subscription as well so not sure if its an SPFL directive or something that's making clubs not be able to sell individual matches anymore. Seems a bit backwards as its losing income from away fans who aren't going to pay for things like that. Might force you guys to take enough fans for the WDE end though so you win some you lose some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I suppose if I can get a 'stream' elsewhere I could always buy a ticket for your next home game to salve my conscience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if there is an issue with the ticket system but it allowed my mate to order tickets for WDE , is that not behind the goals ? Or when we go to ticket office will they just give him tickets for the stand 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes probably 40 years ago. But I like going to Ayr takes me back to when my dad was a youth in 1950's Hope you get into the Cowshed I love the atmosphere and the opportunity for our young team to banjo a few of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it not on the visiting club to inform the home side of expected away crowd? If so, being in that stand is probably on us. It's a shite bit of the ground but it is what it is. We tend to stick small away crowds at one end of our main stand, that can't be much better. Will still enjoy the game, unless we lose, in which case I'll find a way to blame the main stand for our defeat.

No, Morton bad. Either way telling away fans they'll be in the main stand is a self fulfilling prophecy. I can only imagine money wise there's not much difference between 500 fans in the main stand vs 6-700 in the WDE after the respective costs are counted for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be interested to see if you can still use the season ticket code to access the live stream on a Saturday. At the time I bought my season ticket, it was clear that you would be able to use it to stream live if you were outside the UK and Ireland. If that has changed, I won't be terribly pleased. It's ridiculous that the SFA, SPFL or whoever are hell bent of making it difficult to watch championship football online - it generates additional income as well as allowing people who can't reasonably attend in person (whether in Chicago, Colombia or Carwood Street) see their team. I get it that the top tier games are subject to a Sky contract, but that doesn't apply to the lower divisions. It's the 21st century ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutty Old Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 This situation really beggars belief. We have two sets of supporters squabbling with one another about the extremely poor treatment of away supporters (customers) accommodation, with, in this particular case, Morton fans basing their arguments on the team they support. Cappielow has four sides and it might be a good idea to welcome away fans by dedicating an area to away fans where they have plenty of room and a good view of the action. As Ayr supporters we have had many situations where we have been shoehorned into a corner of an away ground with awful views of the match and sometimes not enough room for all of us to fit in. Meanwhile, large expanses of the ground is empty. Away supporters at Somerset suffer the same situation when they are often forced to sit in the far corner of the west stand. There should be less contention between rival fans and more of a joint insistence on every team’s fans being given consideration as paying customers. The argument that clubs need to keep their costs down is ludicrous. If any of our clubs cannot afford the cost of treating customers with a little dignity, maybe they shouldn’t be in the entertainment business. The bottom line in all of this is that Morton and Ayr fans, in this instance, should not be enemies, they should be supporting one another. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were given that and your fans decided to run onto the park. Whose fault is this exactly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
