Geneva Friendly - Swiss Timing or Albion error?

[Henfield One]

Club text received...... Albion will start their pre-season campaign against Swiss club FC Meyrin in Geneva on Saturday 12th July (2pm GMT, 3pm local time).

Argus reporting same date.

Only problem is that 12 July is a Sunday, not a Saturday. And of course UK is on BST now not GMT.

Unbelievable - who checks these things?

I suppose the only thing we can say is that it's all going to kick off pretty soon.

We seem to have a day/date now...

Brighton & Hove Albion will start their pre-season campaign against Swiss club FC Meyrin in Geneva on Saturday 11th July, 2pm GMT, 3pm local time.

CET is one hour ahead of BST which in turn is one hour ahead of GMT.

Sweet, should be able to make the Saturday

CET is one hour ahead of BST which in turn is one hour ahead of GMT.

But, on the other hand, Switzerland is about a hundred years behind the rest of Europe.

Is that why F.I.F.A. are based there?

No - so it's quicker for the Exec to get to their secret bank accounts and deposit their, ahem, commissions.

But of course.

yes. GMT != BST is a frequent misunderstanding. in such matters i find its most reliable to go with the local time as that's probably communicated from those responsible for setting the schedule.
