Do we normally play that many pre-season games? 9 sounds quite a lot.

Has anyone found any cheap flights to Paderborn? I've been looking all morning and can't find anything under about £200 :(

Think your better off flying to either Dortmund or Hannover.  They usually average between £50 and £100.00

It's the Bank Hol in Ireland the weekend we play the Rovers. Could be a good one.

Do you think you will make it over Eamonn? if so we can try and meet up, I'm definitely going; tickets available and all that.

Dependent on work and finances but I hope so, Dave. Be good to see you again, Ger if he's going and any other H&Vers.
Got to love the enthusiasm of the Irish Lions: http://astonvilla.ie/shamrock-rovers-vs-aston-villa-august-2013/

The Irish Lions were fantastic when we went over there for the Bohemians game. They really do organise it well.

From the little sound bytes I've heard I think we'll have a stronger squad by the start of the season. So for the friendlies, they will probably gradually be coming in and we'll probably make use of the younger players in the friendlies too. In the first few friendlies we'll probably play one team in one half and another team in the other half.

Malaga game should be a good one.  Nice to see a high profile pre-season game back at Villa Park.

The German teams seem a bit light for us but very happy with Malaga and pleased with the Rovers game, should be great for our Irish support!

I thought Dortmund might be the big show piece friendly. Obviously not this year but must be a strong possibility for future seasons.
