ADVERTISING AT AYR UNITED CENTENARY SEASON 2009/10
With Ayr United "going up" to the First Division we look forward to welcoming a number of high profile teams who haven't featured at Somerset Park for some time. Morton, Partick Thistle, Dunfermline and Dundee are sure to provide tough opposition, and will bring big travelling supports to Ayr, ensuring some very competitive and exciting matches for our supporters and sponsors.
First division games will mean attracting substantially bigger crowds, extra media interest, greater opportunities for televised games, an increase in hospitality and programme sales, plus additional exposure for all our advertisers at Ayr United.
Here's some cost effective ways of how your business could benefit from advertising at Ayr United.
PROGRAMME
Our programme for the new season will be printed on a superior quality of paper and in the larger B5 size of format this season, to reflect our first division status and centenary year celebrations. The additional selling space and improved quality of the adverts, plus expected increase in sales of programmes, allied to the competitive pricing we are offering, will ensure excellent value for our customers.

The team sheets are distributed freely to supporters, sponsors, dressing room etc. shortly before kick- off, detailing the final team selections of both managers. They are eagerly awaited by the patient and not so patient members of the waiting queues, and they provide another relatively inexpensive method of promoting your business or organisation at Ayr United.
