Mystery donor gives Athlone Town €500k

It has emerged that Athlone Town's cash-flow problems have been eradicated after an anonymous donation of more than €500,000 to the club's stadium at Lissywollen.

The Athlone Town Stadium company, which is in charge of the day-to-day running of the ground, has been boosted by a massive cash injection from a mystery donor.

The club itself is now hoping that the same investor will offer to help the playing squad.
