Ledley King is coming to Ireland! This month the Athlone Spurs will become Tottenham Hotspur's 100th Official Supporters Club!

To celebrate this they would like to invite all our fellow Irish Supporters Club to join us for a special afternoon at Shamrock Lodge Hotel Athlone on Sunday 30 March.

The fun starts at 2pm where Spurs Legend and Club Ambassador Ledley King will be doing a Q&A and be telling us his thoughts on the season. This will be followed with a screening of our away match against Liverpool, kick off 4pm.

Tickets for our event are 10 Euros per adult and 5 Euros per child with all proceeds going to the Children's Brainwave programme.

It'll be reminiscent of the pope visiting Ireland. But grander.

It's a two and a half hour drive each way but I'd still be tempted to drive up.

Will try to make this meself. Lived in Athlone donkeys years ago so I might know some of the Athlone Yids.

I'm in Roscommon so it'd be an easy one for me, if only the missus wasn't ready to pop

Jaysus you'l have to tell her to cop herself on. She will have to hold on for an extra week or two.

I blame Gareth bale, he missed a game last season when his missus was dropping. Set a bad example.

It's not all land of milk and honey!

Waking up at 03:25am Sunday morning to watch the Chelsea game isn't something I like doing.... It gets old quite fast I might add.. Then missing games due to work aswell doesn't help.

Edit: Also I did leave my job just before Christmas to take a break as was a testing couple of years (wont get into it). Needed the time to sort my Permanent Residency anyway. So I've turned down a couple of jobs since returning to Australia 4 weeks ago and in talks for a move to Perth in May with 3 weeks training in Munich, Germany.

Jobs aren't as easy to come by compared to two years ago so it's not all as rosy as people may think. I would like to move to Perth though. The change in timezone would allow me to watch Spurs matches at a more appropriate time, among other reasons of moving to Perth (The job sounds freaking great).

All in all I definitely wouldn't want to falsely portray life over here as fantastic as people may say it is in your local!

Anyway.. Off Topic...

Jealous of you all seeing Ledley waahhayaayyyy!
