DougJamie Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Ok, I have checked and not seen any other thread. So I understand that Ayr Utd will be ground sharing with us after March due to the redevolpment of Somerset Park. Shit I feel like Flareybob. Anyone else heard this ?

Do I want Ayr near our place? Whats wrong with Killies ground ? Several questions I guess. Why us and not Kilmarnock? Maybe the plastic pitch? Maybe the cost of rental? Would I welcome it? Not if I thought the pitch would suffer. There could also be complications if we both finished up in play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 What are they doing with Somsert Park? Would be a shame to see it turned in to another dull Legoland construction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddie-Boy Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 That’s good - more money for us to pay off some of Stubbs’ duds and bring in some players. BTW that’s a cracking looking stadium they are building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJamie Posted October 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) On the plus, at least Shankland will play at our place this season , and he can now fit through the main doors Edited October 4, 2018 by DougJamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepaisleypanda Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Although further mileagewise, it is probably easier to get to Paisley than Kilmarnock from Ayr. Plus would attract bigger away supports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus would attract bigger away supports. I'm not sure of the logic here. Fast roads connect with Kilmarnock and Paisley for those travelling by road. Am I wrong in thinking that you cannot travel by rail to Kilmarnock but you can from Ayr ? Or can you do both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepaisleypanda Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 You can do both, but, the "normal" services between Ayr and Paisley are one of the busiest routes on Scotrail! https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail/news/changes-services-between-glasgow-central-ayr-and-stranraer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If selling Somerset it could be the case that they need to raise funding from selling land to develop new ground and are having to hand over keys before new ground is able to be built. We lucked out in that we had a stadium built elsewhere for us by the company buying land, and they were prepared to wait until we were ready to move.
