Following the encouraging result against Ross County at Dingwall where a precious point was achieved, Ayr United are due a further boost at next Saturdays home against fellow strugglers, Brechin City.

The Honest Men Trust, the supporter’s community initiative, will present the proceeds of their major fund raising effort - the Players Fund - to the Club. With a target of £10,000, it will help Campbell Money in his attempts to secure players to stave off the threat of relegation. A presentation will be made on the park by the Trust Secretary, Neil Bone, and Trust Project Coordinator Callum Yorke, at the half –time interval. Already the Fund has been instrumental in securing the £5,000 transfer from Cowdenbeath of Graham Brown and Campbell Money and the Ayr United Board have been delighted with the Ayr supporters generosity.

Donald McNeill, Trust spokesman, said

“This is a magnificent effort by the ordinary supporters of Ayr United. It shows the strength of feeling for the club throughout Ayrshire and beyond. All of us recognise that a Club who featured at Hampden Park in the League Cup final against Rangers less than two ago in front of a crowd of 50,000 plus must operate in at least the First Division even if the Premiership is beyond us just now.

We set a target of £10,000 and with a last minute push we should get there. By utilising the Paypal system via our website, we have tapped into the goodwill of Ayr fans from all over the UK – including, Shetlands, London and Aberdeen. There is still time to help"

The Trust is appreciative of the very positive response however we appeal to any fans who can help us by way of a donation, however big or small, to help us get to the target of £10,000 prior to next Saturdays match.
