Athlone Town release statement on floodlight failure

Athlone Town have released a statement following their 1-0 home win over Waterford United regarding the floodlight failure which resulted in the game taking place at the later time of 8.15pm.

 

The game was supposed to start at 7.45pm, however, due to a power failure it was agreed that the game was pushed forward to a later time of 8.15pm.

In the statement released by the club tonight, Athlone Town AFC have announced that they will launch a full investigation to determine what the issue was. Also, in the statement, they said that early signs point towards an unexpected power surge which caused the problem at the Athlone Town Stadium and wish to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay.
