Delighted with the venue. Looks first rate with two good oppos to play against. Gutted with the timing as will be in Thailand during the whole camp. Would certainly have made arrangements to get over there for the two games and a bit of swiss role/toblerone if id had more notice. Has sfc announced a travel service for fans who want to travel+support???? Never mind. Maybe next year SFC could give supporters a bit more notice. After all im sure the local sponsors are hoping that english supporters will come and drink their bars dry, fill there hotels and eat there restaurants out of fondue and cuckoo clock sets. Cant think of any other sterotypical ignorant brits abroad comment to make but im sure others will!

Can get flights with Easyjet from Gatwick to Geneva for about £100 at moment. Geneva is around three hours on train from Interlaken (change in Bern). Same kind of price to Zurich or around £115 with BA but only 2 hours on train.

did they annouce time and location before the other clubs involved?

 

I had a quick glance at FC Thun's website & that game wasn't on the front page - they did show the 3 pre-season games that they have prior to playing us.

 

Edit: Just checked their list of friendlies & it's not showing

Venue for the game against FC Thun...looks good!

Suspect this is not the correct ground. No way does that Lido hold 10300 snorkellers

Still could be good training for the heavy pitches in the English winter rather than using our billiard table

There you have it, all of our pre-season plans announced in one go now that everything has been confirmed and finalised.

 

To those that do make the trip to Switzerland, enjoy it! The place looks amazing.

I would have thought the details were known sometime ago which would have given fans more time to organise their trip

I'm not sure. Reading the release on the OS and having looked at both other clubs websites, I suspect this might have originally been planned as training camp only (behind closed doors), and changed when they managed to sort out the friendlies. I say because, there was a poster who said that the date changed, this ties in with the hotel/resort keeping the booking open to accomodate us. Together with the fact that FC Sochaux's website only announced the friendly on Tuesday and still says time & venue to be decided, and FC Thun's website still does not have the game announced at all - all together suggests these games have been arranged late in the day.

 

Of course, some may question why the plans changed fairly late or why the games were not organised earlier.

Who knows but another chance to engage with fans missed

Fair points

Ryanair fly to Milan Bergamo, which you could get to from Bristol or Stansted for about £100 return, including taxes etc. Bristol is somewhat limited on the dates, but Stansted goes 3 times a day. That's about 3 1/2 hours drive to Interlaken.
