      If only every LOI pitch was a good as Oriel Park.

      Drogs picked the wrong venue.

        Bad timing for a preseason friendly anyway...
        I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

            Shamrock Rovers have confirmed that they will play Premier League side, Aston Villa in a friendly game at Tallaght Stadium in August.

            The Hoops will play host to the Lions in the game which will take place at 3pm on Sunday, August 4 at the Tallaght venue.

            Villa, who have secured their Premier League status for the 2013-14 season, will conduct their pre-season training camp in Germany before playing a number of friendlies in preparation for the new campaign, including this one against Shamrock Rovers.

            A number of fans are expected to travel from Birmingham for the game, and it should be a great day out for Shamrock Rovers and Aston Villa fans alike.

            Ticket details are being finalised and will be announced in due course

              The Lions? That's a new one to me. Always thought they were known more as the Villains.

                        We have a shell on ours, but someone else already bagged that nickname.

                          I think a lot of English teams have a few nicknames though? I suppose how Sligo are Rovers and the Bit o' Red. I suppose at a push you could be called the Bulls too.

                                Careful Charlie - you'll get barred from Tallaght for coming out with things like that.
