SEASON 2024/25
SCOTTISH CUP 5th Round
SCOTTISH CUP 4th Round
Venue: SOMERSET PARK
AYR UNITED 0 HIBERNIAN 1
Scorer: Bushiri
Attendance: 7,364
Scott Brown's Ayr side against his first club Hibs and a chance to see and experience Ayr's new North stand. The new stand comprising of only four rows offers a fantastic view of the pitch and is a much needed improvement to the old style ground.
A good cup tie was spoiled by the treatment of the away fans due to a lack of basic facilities. The stewards were great but there was a lack of information directing fans to the four turnstiles for 3000+ visiting fans. Once in the ground it was a trip back into time, to a time when fans were treated disgracefully. Firstly, there were no turnstiles for the new stand. Secondly, a serious bottleneck as away fans entered to make their way to the Railway End terrace - real safety risk. Thirdly, a real lack of Ladies & Gents facilities. Ayr have ambitions of being a top flight club but would surely have to greatly update their ground before being allowed entry.
