[outspoken]

Anyone know where Thomastown are from. The people of Thomastown will be dancing in the streets with that draw

Kilkenny.

They play at United Park. Tidy set up for a junior team. http://www.thomastownunited.com/united-park/

[nigel-harps1954]

Thomastown is only around 25 minutes down the road from me. It was badly hit during the flooding there last week, where Joan Burton quite hilariously fell out of the boat that was travelling on a foot of water.

[Martinho II]

theres nothing like playing a new team! wonder who will win that Drumcondra Thomastown game?

[kksaints]

Delighted to see my local club (They are the nearest football club to where Im from)Thomastown United get this far. Cant seem the beating Drums but would love to see them against Longford. Seem a well run club.

[KeepersBall]

Harps play Drogheda on Feb 27th, Athlone on the weekend of 14th Feb and UCD and weekend of Feb 21st, both those dates and venues for all three tbc. Who's organising all these friendlies for Athlone. Has Alan Matthews been confirmed as back in charge yet.

[outspoken]

Kilkenny.

Gas, even a pub team like Thomastown have merchandise on their website yet we don't 😂. Cheers for the info lads.

[gufcfan]

even a pub team like Thomastown

A pub team with their own land, all-weather facilities, a few full size pitches and room to grow. ;)

[seand]

I'm officially jumping on the Thomastown United bandwagon. My Dad's home town. It would be fair to say it's not a traditional soccer heartland, so fair play to them, looks like a great setup.

[Mr A]

May I be the first to say I reckon Thomastown are living beyond their means and will probably go bust before the end of the season. How they got through licensing is a mystery to me.

[Ezeikial]

Tis a pity you feel the need to be so condescending in making your point

[outspoken]

I'm sure the might Thomastown ultras will make their feelings known when they descend on CCS

Be careful them there boys will have their hurls with them.

Thomastown? More likely to have oars with them these days.

Can't get my head around two PD teams playing each other in pre season. Obviously just a handy option for the cousins.

[Longfordian]

Sligo and Finn Harps are playing each other as well. Who gives a **** really? You'll learn nothing from any of these games.

Are they?

[Longfordian]

According to Sligo they are

[nigel-harps1954]

Hang on there. Go back and look at the year.

[Longfordian]

Bloody hell I'm a dope :)

Could have sworn I saw a game announced between two other PD clubs and had it in my head Sligo were one so went looking at their fixtures. Didn't spot the result either!

Daunting as that sounds the Freebooters sound even scarier.

Trust me the ones you don't want to upset are Dean Celtic the Castlecomer clan.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

There was rumours we are going to play Derry alright. Think it was in one of the papers up there.

[brendy_éire]

There was rumours we are going to play Derry alright. Think it was in one of the papers up there.

I know it's a handy enough journey, but can't remember the last time we played a team in the same division in a pre-season friendly.
Agreed that I don't think it really matters though.

[brendy_éire]

Some Derry friendlies announced, including that Sligo one. All matches are away.

Ballymena - Friday 5th February
Glentoran - Saturday 13th February
Sligo - Saturday 20th February

[seand]

With Derry, Sligo, Harps, Galway and Longford all in the top division in 2016 Athlone are the closest away trip for a friendly for the North West 3. It's not surprising they'd be tempted to play friendlies among themselves. Irish League opposition can be hard to line up when they're coming to the end of their season (though I see Derry have Ballymena and Glentoran lined up)

Suppose. The weekend of 5-7th February is the Irish Cup sixth round. Ballinamallard and Warrenpoint would be free, maybe to play Sligo and Dundalk respectively.
Other than that, there won't be much scope for other IL teams, especially with the recent postponements (and the inevitable ones to come).

All the travel that Cork have to do mustn't be that big a deal if every friendly arranged by them is away from home!?

[redobit]

Probably cheaper to rent a bus than it is to rent Turners cross for a game.

[White Horse]

The Hoops will take part in the Sait Nagjee Tournament in the city of Kozhikode, located in the Kerala province in the south-west of the country. The eight-team competition will start on February 2 or 3 and will run for the best part of three weeks.

Pat Fenlon’s side will be the only senior team competing but they will come up against some high-calibre opposition.

http://www.thesun.ie/irishsol/homepage/sport/irishfootball/6863951/Shamrock-Rovers-off-to-India-for-pre-season.html

No ordinary preseason for Shamrock Rovers. Off to India to compete in a tournament for development teams.

Rovers fans will be busy making travel plans.
