Great, there's still a chance the Villa could turn up at Longford or in Athlone.  I won't hold my breath.

Centre Parcs in County Longford could host the lads. No nonsense like Stan Collymore setting off a fire extinguisher would be tolerated, mind.

I hope we play Hoffenheim away - just down the road from me. Selfish, I know!

Anywhere with lots of tickets and near a train station that we haven't played at recently, please. And none of that playing two games at the same time shite.

I suppose the good thing is that as we are playing them cnuts we will  be on TV somewhere
i suppose the good thing, if it’s true, will be that I get to see the Villa live for the first time since 2015 FACF. Happy days. Perth for me I reckon. Might take the wee girl and show her what it’s all about! Can’t wait

Sorry mate, we ain't coming over. It's that top international drawcard Crystal Palace rather than the Villa.

I live in Perth so should be good to see us here if only a pre-season friendly.
Because of COVID my last game watching Villa was against Swansea at VP in Dean Smith's first game in charge.
Being against Manure you can bet there will be a ridiculous amount of pretend plastic mancs.
A lot of Aussies have only ever of them.
We will definitely be in the minority.

Whoever edited that entry doesn't know that train line very well. The preceding station is Small Heath not Spring Road.

You definitely will, as it's Crystal Palace going Down Under, not Villa.

Iike  a lot of Aussie fans bitterly disappointed, however what would be worse would be a repeat of last seasons pre season dire.
