Giants!
No offence to Athlone but their "flagship team in Ireland"? Until they get another club. Hate all this PR/Marketing guff.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
I'm completely the opposit. I'm sick of clubs (and the league) not taking EVERY opportunity to talk any kind of positive news up. What harm will it do Athlone to try and create a bit of bizz about a new kit deal? If it gets 5 lads talking about it enough to go a game they're already winners.
Same goes for signing to be announced etc etc. Put a bit of spin on it.

Fair play to Athlone getting the deal and talking it up. I'd love to see them doing well again. It's a long way back, but during the O'Riordan days what hope would you have given for us being competitive at the top level?
"Flagship" following other notable Roddy ships Dublin city, Cork city, Monaghan.....
As said above, despite the corporate buzz word nonsense, good luck to Athlone with this, nice to see a L.O.I. side, in particular a second tier provincial one, in the public eye for something positive.
