The final match played by Airdrieonians was an away game against Ayr United at Somerset Park on 27 April.[16] The match was abandoned by the referee after a crossbar was broken during a pitch invasion by Airdrie fans, who were protesting against the Ayr United owner Bill Barr.[16] His Barr Construction company had built the Excelsior Stadium and became one of the major creditors of Airdrie.[16]
