   Apologies

Kildare County Football Club would like to apologise to all our fans and indeed also to our players, management and backroom staff for their wasted trip to Athlone yesterday.
We would like to state the following:
At no time were we made aware that there was a potential problem with the playability of the pitch.
We were not informed that a pitch inspection was carried out at around 2pm.
Our playing staff and management arrived at the ground at approx 5pm. In the opinion of our senior management the pitch was most definately not playable. This view was relayed to Athlone Town staff.
The match officials declared the pitch unplayable at approx 6pm, one hour before scheduled kick-off. 
Kildare County FC is unhappy, with the lack of communication which resulted in many people incurring unnescessary cost in travelling to the venue.
The rules regarding the inspection of pitches etc. are clearly laid down in the Participation Agreement and Kildare County FC, will take up the matter with the FAI Eircom League of Ireland immediately.
Again apologies to those who were disappointed, having travelled to Athlone.
"I got this from Kildare Countys website,only 2 days in and already 2 main talking points,This is very embarresing,I love our national league but Christ Almighty its hard work sometimes,F.A.I SORT IT FOOKIN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
