The last couple of times we played over there was under O'Neil and Lambert, the latter being  against Shamrock Rovers.

Even Dolly O'Dreary came to Tolka for a weekend tournament  in...2003(?). Probably felt like he was slumming it, the fickle fecker.

Why go and play there? Jet lag etc. surely make it a bit of a pain, and it's not exactly an emerging market. I'd have thought the States or Asia would have been more likely. Shows what I know.

Yes, I can't imagine it's really sensible preparation with jet lag, season change etc, and nowadays there is no need to go all that way to play a friendly or two, especially if clubs really care about costs and the environment.

I remember talking to a Rovers fan whilst waiting for the tram after that game and he reckons the receipts from the match was enough to ensure Shamrock Rovers' running costs for the year.

That tram took an absolute age back to O'Connell Street. Good day though.
