Welcome to www.killiefc.com which is owned and operated by Allan Auld and his partner in crime, Barry "baz" Richmond (Sunday name!).

Allan is a Killie exile who now resides in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife Yvonne and two step-daughters whereas baz, his wife Kitty and daughter Erin, hail from Hurlford which is just a stones throw away from Kilmarnock.  

Erin is pictured right in her 2008-09 Killie cheerleader outfit!

 

Co-publishers Allan & baz
 

The site started as The Killie Experience website in February of 1999 by Allan at Geocities (as some of you may remember). In November of 1999 he moved the whole lot into its own domain at... www.killiefc.com  (Who is Allan Auld HERE)

April 2000 the Last "KTS"

In August 0f 2000, after the Killie Supporters Association Magazine KTS was unceremoniously ditched by the member clubs, Allan invited baz to become a co-publisher of the site, which he gladly accepted.

The site was then signed up to the Rivals.net network as their Kilmarnock FC website as of January 2001, and stayed there and built up a fair sized community until Rivals decided in their infinite wisdom to pull the plug on their Scottish sites around May 2002.

There was no question that killiefc.com just had to continue, so after one false start with a hosting company who couldn't handle the amount of traffic generated by the site, we moved to our current host and a dedicated server so that we would never suffer from web space or bandwidth problems again. Our hosts actually run the FBI's website and the building is surrounded by a moat, guard dogs, security officers and barbed wire fences...still, that never stopped work men cutting through the cables recently!

Since leaving the Rivals network in May 2002 we are happy to report that instead of our numbers falling with the loss of opposition fans 'hits" they in fact increased and the average monthly site 'hits" are now 45-50,000 monthly during the playing season. In fact they are not much worse during the close season now as well as we have over 2,100 + members subscribed to our message boards and 95% of those are Killie fans. We had our one millionth unique daily Front Page "hit" in March of 2005, and second million October 20th 2006 and our third million "hit" on Jan 13th 2008!

Our goal is simply stated to have "the best Killie fans website on the net bar none!"

 We also have a stated policy of being "club friendly". We sponsor a Prediction League, various contests, the soon to be renamed Killie IFA team Kickin' Squirrels, and our own Player of The Year award (POTY) with associated nights out.

Our 2001 winner was Craig Dargo (seen left with baz) and in 2002 the winner was Alan Mahood. (seen right with Allan).
 

For season 2002-03 we decided to sponsor newly signed midfielder Stevie Fulton. Don't ask if it is "rigged" but "Baggio" went on to win the site's 2002-03 POTY so were pretty chuffed when Allan  (pictured left) gave him his award after the final game of the season Vs Celtic at the Park Hotel.
Kris Boyd was the site's Young POTY (pictured right with baz).!

After our 2003-04 season the site's members picked Kris Boyd as their player of the season.

 Kris was presented his trophy by Allan on July 24th 2004, in the Howard Arms after a preseason friendly with A*r, at the site's "day oot" function.

For season 2004-05 we decided to return to sponsoring a player, and again we went with a  newly signed midfielder Allan "Magic" Johnston. See Baz with "magic's" shirt as presented to him (us) in May of 2005. (below)

In July of 2005 Killie Chairman Michael Johnson, agreed to answer as many questions as the Killie fans could come up with, so we created a forum for him, which is open to members of our forums.

 

In Mar of 2006 Allan presented Alan Combe with his POTY award for the 2004-05 season (above). Player of the Year recap page is - Here

In Nov of 2006 we awarded Jamie Fowler for his POTY award for the 2005-06 season. - Player of the Year recap page is - Here

In July 2010 we crossed the four million mark of unique daily front page "hits"!

In closing thanks for all your support and I'm sure we'll be seeing you at one of our many functions which have went down fantastically well so far with all who have been in attendance...  

Killie till we die!.....Allan & baz.
