Ayr United’s new training facility has now officially opened.
The £2M investment will be the training base for the team, Academy, and women’s team - there’s also indoor facilities and all of it is available to the local community.
Brilliant stuff from the club! ⚪️⚫️👏
Note to the BBC: the power of Scotland and why they deserved more respect than a cringey wave-a-thon on Spoty. Where to start? Second oldest footballing nation in the world. Developed styles of football 150 years ago still pursued today. No Scotland, no passing. Helped spread the joy of football around the world, igniting the passion in Brazil and Argentina. Helped nurture famous English clubs like Aston Villa.
Introduced keepie-uppie to Wembley. Gave the game the wonderful Baxter, Law, Johnstone, McGrain, Bremner, Dalglish, Hansen, Souness and more recently Robertson and McTominay. Gave the game managers of the calibre and vision of Shankly, Busby, Stein and Ferguson.
Brought the refreshing and well-refreshed mobile party of the Tartan Army to tournaments, fans who raise spirits and raise funds for charities wherever they go. Have an anthem that stirs the blood and the soul. Qualified for the World Cup with a performance of guts and goalscoring glory. Staged their own Puskas award competition against Denmark.
Guided by a modest, proud and quietly inspirational manager in Steve Clarke.
Who should have had the successful, charismatic McTominay on the Spoty shortlist. McTominay deserved more respect from Spoty. So did Scotland.
A Timeline of Football in Ayr
Requested by @aidanlynntv
Ayr is pretty unique when it comes to football history.
Through a series of mergers, Ayr United is the culmination of almost every former club in Ayr.
It’a a strong lineage in one of Scotlands football hotbeds.

It was a historic afternoon for Ayr United who recorded their biggest ever away win!
