Athlone Town

[gufcfan]

Personally if my son was with Athlone Under 19's i'd refuse to let him play senior team with the rest of the 19's and I'm sure a lot of their parents will feel that way.

Isn't there rules anyway about who many players can play in both squads?

[ATFC-1887]

An egm has been called by members. Thursday night.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Will there be a team for Athlone's game on Friday?

[disgruntled]

Will there be an Athlone club on Friday

[Mr A]

If Athlone have no manager and most if not all the players have left, what are the odds of them being able to field on Friday night?

Can amateur players be signed before July? Apparently the club are trying to sign up locals without success. https://t.co/KjCMql4Xp4

From the outside looming in the situation appears dire.

I believe amateurs from junior clubs can be signed from 20th June. Players attached to LOI clubs not available for transfer until July 1st. Yes they will field Friday from what I know and I will be getting list for website from the club tomorrow all going well.

Wonder what kind of a squad they're going to be able to throw together at all. And who's in charge?

I will be given that information tomorrow.

[Longfordian]

Mix of u17s and u19s by the looks of things. Can't imagine the FAI will be overly sympathetic as regards registering any new players if they can't or won't pay their old players. Who are they playing on Friday? Will they be the shortest priced favourite ever for a LOI game?

I can't see that happening as I know a few senior players stayed on and some.junior players from around the midlands have signed. But I would think the better u19s will be playing as part of that squad

No one's taking bets on it.

You can have cabinteely at 25(TWENTY FIVE)/1 at home if you're feeling lucky

[Longfordian]

Fair enough BR, you'd know more than I would. I just saw it online earlier.

I might not be right either for all I know the junior players might all be 17 year old. Will know what we are at when I get list tomorrow. But I see a post on Facebook from a junior player with st peters saying 3 have signed from ballinasloe.

[atfconline]

Hmmm, don't Ballinasloe have a sprightly young lad by the name of Hope with them?

[KeepersBall]

Don't know how accurate this is. Just seen it on Facebook.

Athlone Town FC Fans Just been informed that O'Connor will take charge of the first team on Friday and it will consist of under 17 and under 19 players.

I believe that to be false even though lad who updates that page gets info from someone on the inside.

My source says not going to happen.

That came from a current committee member. Might not be true completely. But there will be a good amount of under 19s.
I've been told only Ian fletcher, Danny Molloy and Conor Barry are staying on from the first team. And whatever junior players we manager to scrape together by Friday.
If the latest rumour going around about what hardens plans are, then we may as well just close shop now.

[KeepersBall]

I like a good rumour me, so enlighten me.

[eitoof]

Any update Battery Rover? Is it game on?

Still waiting on official list to be forwarded to me when received from FAI. Number of players signed and registrations sent in. We will be fielding a team whatever happens according to what I hear.
