There was a lot of negativity last season both on the park and off it. Even this early in the season there is a definite upbeat feeling all around the Club. The introduction of a few younger players, the return of Stephen Dobie and new Manager's apparently positive tactics have all helped in this. On recent form we should be capable of winning on Saturday but the players will need to put the same effort into playing Ayr as they did against Hibs and Dundee Utd. If things aren't going our way I hope the supporters get behind the players, although I appreciate it can be frustrating if things are not going as planned, and I'm sure the positive support will be rewarded in the players efforts.

Even taking into account our recent performances and the fact it's a "derby" game, I'm not expecting a massive upsurge in attendance, 1800 - 1900 would be my guess but hopefully I'm guessing too low.
