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

Drogs picked the wrong venue.

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.

**redarmyfaction** · 17/05/2013, 10:38 PM

Yeah thought Millwall were the Lions, now that might be an interesting. friendly.

**Charlie Darwin** · 18/05/2013, 12:31 AM

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.
