So i checked the website again and it now says the 23rd :mad::mad:
It was not just me, my wife also checked the website and it had said the 16th.

Whats funny is, we went to around 20 or more pubs, asked two taxi drivers and none of them said the game was on next week!

I thought Athlone was a Rugby town, having the best team in the midlands. You would think someone would have been waiting for the match too.
