The definitive guide to watching the Junior Springboks play at Athlone Stadium, by a son of Athlone, RYAN VREDE.
Security is, however, limited, so be vigilant. It’s a short walk from the parking lot to the entrance gate, and there should be plenty of people walking to and from the stadium, so you’ll have safety in numbers. But don’t do stupid shit, like wander off to take pictures of your surroundings. Your “Find my phone” function will, well, find your phone after it’s taken. Getting it back from the people who have it is another matter altogether. You won’t.
P.S. If a stranger with clear ill-intent asks you for the time, run. You don’t need to know the details. Trust me and run.There is no reserved seating. If you’re part of a big group, arrive early to secure multiple seats together. For some reason, they’re only using one stand. This may change for the semi-final.Eat before you arrive, or better yet, let Athlone feed you. A gatsby is overrated. Get a full-house masala steak, egg, and cheese sandwich at Golden Dish instead.
Ahkni your thing? There’s a guy that sets up in College Road in Rylands, opposite the mini-mall. For clarity, there are two Ahkni guys next to each other. The akhni on the left will disappoint you. The one on the right will have you driving from 30km away every Sunday for your fix.“The ATL” doesn’t cater to vegans. And asking for gluten-free anything is a waste of your time.
