Recent history

After winning promotion from the Second Division they did quite well in their first season in the First Division. On the final day of the season Ayr had to avoid defeat to Partick Thistle at Firhill to avoid relegation. They won 3-1, sending Partick down instead. The 1998/99 season saw a marked improvement as the team played exciting football admired by fans and critics, particularly involving the strikers Andy Walker and Glynn Hurst and winger Gary Teale (now playing in the Championship with Derby and a Scotland international), which included six consecutive away wins and a 7-1 defeat of Stranraer. However, ultimately the team finished in third place behind Hibs and Falkirk. The 1999/00 season was another disappointing one as they sank to a lowly 7th. Their yo-yo like league standings changed again in season 2000/01 as they came a close second behind Livingston. Partick Thistle Football Club is a Scottish football club. ...

In November 1998, Ayr United applied for planning permission for a new 10,200 all seater stadium at Heathfield. The application was passed by the local government, but was 'called in' by the Scottish Executive, which vetoed the decision[2]. This meant that even if they won the league they could not attain promotion, hence rendering their promotion push ultimately futile. The Executives logo, shown with English and Scottish Gaelic caption The term Scottish Executive is used in two different, but closely-related senses: to denote the executive arm of Scotlands national legislature (i. ...

During the late 1990s and early 2000s period the team established something of a reputation in cup competitions, claiming the scalps of higher league clubs Hibs, Dundee, Dundee United, Motherwell, Dunfermline and, sweetest of all for the fans, four consecutive wins over local rivals Kilmarnock.

They broke their less happy trend in the league 2001/02 as they went on to come third in the Scottish First Division, reaching the Scottish Cup semi-final and the Scottish League Cup final (of which they lost to Celtic and Rangers respectively). This was considered by most to be their best season to date. Several former SPL players played for the team, including John Hughes, Pat McGinlay, James Grady and Eddie Annand, and their League Cup semi-final victory over Hibs is remembered by many fans with great affection. Franck Sauzée, the Hibs manager, was sacked shortly afterwards. Wikipedia does not yet have an article with this exact name. ...

Following this season a mediocre season followed, and the next season brought relegation to the Scottish Second Division as they came 9th in the league. This was a crippling blow for the club financially, especially with so much movement and uncertainty in the upper levels of the club with chairman Bill Barr leaving the club. Wikipedia does not yet have an article with this exact name. ...

The beginning of the 2004 season saw the club change managers for the second time in two seasons as Campbell Money left the club after refusal to accept a part-time contract, and former player Mark Shanks took over the reigns. These same cashflow problems meant they had to offload several players and other coaching staff as well. The supporters rallied together however and formed the Honest Men Trust and effectively saved the club for the short term. Israel Campbell Money[1] (born 31 August 1960 in Maybole, Ayrshire) is a Scottish former footballer and former manager of Stenhousemuir. ...

This was soon to end as more controversy was to arise at the club in March 2005 when the turmoil in the boardroom regarding a failed takeover bid from Prestwick-based Roy Kennedy caused manager Mark Shanks to leave citing self-pride as his reasons. This was ultimately to be a good decision, as Kennedy Construction were to go bankrupt in early 2006. Prestwick Prestwick is a town located in South Ayrshire on the central west coast of Scotland, approximately 30 miles to the south-west of Glasgow. ...

Ayr narrowly avoided relegation in the 2004/2005 season from the Second Division, and prepared for the start of the next season by releasing most of their players and signing in new players, a majority of which were from Junior division clubs.

In season 2006/7 a promising opening day victory away at fellow contenders Stirling Albion was followed by a season of mediocrity whereby United won only a handful of games and quickly slipped to 8th position in the division.
