	Athlone Cape Flats Welcome
		One of the oldest suburbs on the Cape Flats, Athlone is home to the Athlone Stadium - Cape Town´s foremost soccer venue.
		Athlone consists of a number of residential areas, industrial areas and commercial areas.
		The last five years has seen a growing number of bed and breakfast establishments and guest houses in Athlone.

	national stadium - Thumped
		Rooney has made it clear he does not expect FIFA to grant an extension to the dispensation, unless firm proposals for a new stadium are in place - hence the frustration he expressed in Athlone on Friday, when he said it was imperative the Government make clear its intentions on the national stadium issue.
		The demolition of the old stadium is complete, while construction work is five weeks ahead of schedule, with the 133-metre-high Wembley Arch, which will hold up the roof, expected to be completed by next January.
		We have a world-class football team, we need a stadium that matches their level, we need a world-class stadium, but we haven't made any progress on that front.

	Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club
		The "Brazilians" then travel to Cape Town on August 10 for a provisional date against Ajax Cape Town at the Athlone Stadium and the following week would be involved in the SAA Supa 8 quarterfinals.
		Three days later they tackle Lamontville Golden Arrows at the Securicor Loftus Stadium in Tshwane and, provided they had been successful in the SAA Supa 8, would be engaged in the semifinals four days later.
		But the fixture almost every Sundowns supporter would be anxiously waiting for is certainly the tie against Kaizer Chiefs, which is provisionally scheduled for the FNB Stadium on Sunday September 18.

	Connacht Rugby
		Toulouse built/renovated most of their stadium with money from doing well in the Heineken Cup, and I believe that Munster are doing similar jobs on Musgrave/Thomond park.
		8000+ can easily fit into Pearse Stadium, this is a costly solution but if Connacht rugby is to build on last season there is going to be even more big games in Europe, and who knows maybe not all in the parker pen but in the Heineken Cup also.
		If Connacht want to be taken seriously, they need to get a decent stadium and stop playing at a greyhound track.

		Regardless of how Athlone fare in the second leg in Milan's giant San Siro Stadium and the Italians must now be odds-on to advane, they can look back on this day with pride for years to come.

		The charity cup is, however, in football terms a "friendly" tournament and while there is prestige in winning the cup, it is used mainly as a yardstick to gauge the fitness of players on the eve of the championship.
