    Athlone Town

    Sh*t has hit the fan big time now.
    Game is off tonight. Players refused to turn up after being told they will not be paid again. Chairman has to resign now.

    Sad state of affairs when they can't (or won't?) even fund a budget that size. Whether it's due to rows or not. Well at least if the worst should happen the ground is secure and Zombie Athlone could come back in due course. Pay the liquidator a few quid and you can have your history back too.

    I think we can all agree that the saddest part of this is that athlone haven't one even semi decent player we'd have at our own clubs

    Surely the saddest part is one of the oldest clubs in the league is about to disappear?

    David Cassidy might disagree with you

    Shocking state of affairs. It looks like Athlone will have to pull out, re-group and comeback for next season or after if they have the right structures in place. A short term solution is no good for anyone.

    I'm sure he disagrees with lots of people.

    Because he's a filthy dirty small knacker.

    I wouldn't have him washing the boots of any of our midfield three but I suppose he'd do some of the lesser lights.

    All the same, well done on having david cassidy on the books of your defunct club though.

    So it's 2012 all over again. Four years ago, Nero played his fiddle while Rome burned. Nothing changes in the FAI. Conroy Report? Just a useless exercise in pretending to care about Irish Football.

    Short term solution would suit us if it could get em to after we play em again at the Markets Field.

    Sad day for the League but more importantly for the fans of ATFC. I hope it doesn't come to them pulling out of the league but it doesn't look good. Another team going from the league while the great man Delaney leaves his credit card behind several bars in France for the loyal Man U, Liverpool etc fans to enjoy themselves. I can see one or two other clubs hitting the wall before next year.

  23. Thanks From:

    This is going to be damaging to Waterford too of course.

    It's not called the graveyard for nothing. The faster Limerick can get back to the top tier the better.

    Sad to see any League of Ireland club in trouble but you have to wonder why ?
    Are they so badly run that they can't run a 1st Div team ?
    Do the Soccer fans of Athlone not give a toss or is it something else ?

    Its all very well blaming Delaney & the FAI but if clubs can't run their own affairs in a proper business like manner then its not up to the FAI to keep filling holes that clubs dig themselves.
