Return after 5.00pm no problem direct train Ayr to Glasgow Central. Bit of a ballache going but as normal returning. This is the end of this Public Service Announcement As long as all trains run to time, fine. But if you’re delayed getting to Killie and miss the connection, the next train to Ayr is not for another 2 hours or so. Also, the Kilmarnock-Ayr train does not stop at Newton-on-Ayr, the nearest station to Somerset Park. SaintJet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for the days before Dr Beeching when British Rail used to put on Football Specials that would take you almost to the turnstiles via side lines through folks' gardens, or so it seemed.

Doubt it will get postponed, gusts are serious concern though... might get abandoned due to wind as it strengthens. Rarely are games postponed due to wind, but never say never. Game on!

Johnny B Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Will Tommy be adventurous and play to up front away from home? I would like to this but Tommy will play his usual safe away from home formation. O'Halloran doubtful for today, I would give the extra time to recover for the Motherwell game. Clark Ralston Kerr McCart Booth Wright Holt McCann Craig Wotherspoon May If he plays to up front Holt to give way to Kane. 1v4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Fun Facts: Ayr have only knocked Saints out of the Scottish Cup once in 8 attempts, in 1925, when John W was barely in his thirties. We last lost at Somerset in 1991. john.w 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
