Maybe imminent.

Later in the Summer, hmm less than 4 weeks

About as USELESS as the NEW signings

3 weeks to go and still FA information

I've given up, can't see it taking place or if it does it won't be a proper friendly

Very nice city. Went there to visit CERN for my brother's birthday, and it's a beautiful place. Exepensive, yes, but we stayed in a hostel that was very reasonably priced (when booked online well in advance). The city is lovely, clean, there's bits to do and things to see around the lake, and the transport is efficient and reliable. Wouldn't recommend for more than a long weekend break though, due to costs and lack of activities to pass huge amounts of time. Pleasant, just...yeah, nice and pleasant.

Hairy airport to land on I gather. Went there for a job interview once over a weekend. The job was actually based at a place called Ferney-Voltaire which is in France, but only a mile or two outside Geneva. There is a huge "black" economy of people living in France but who drive into Switzerland to work (or was then).

Pubs pretty soulless the international diplomat brigade everywhere. I actually did work in Lausanne (down the lake a way) for a while, really nice place. University town.

I watched England beat Argentina 3-2 in Stade de Geneve. Fantastic atmosphere in the city before the game, on the trams and in the stadium.

As it is only 3 weeks away you'd think they'd announce the details so anyone wanting to go could make arrangements

my money was on a friendly against Etoile Carouge FC on the saturday. I wonder if the ongoing delay is anything to do with Burnley organising a friendly with them the night before

Bit of a radical thought but why don't you email or call the club instead of banging your gums on here?

If you had seen my previous posts on here instead of being ABUSIVE you will have read that I've EMAILED and TWITTERED them and had no RESPONSE

Will be announced this week according to Insider on the Ask The Club forum.

Thanks, but a bit late to make arrangements now

I emailed and had a reply within 15 mins.
MAybe you are on IGNORE ( or filtered to JUNK) on the club email server

To be fair he was commenting on the response I posted from my email to the club

Geneva is a nice place and the lake of Geneva is beautiful, Montreux is just stunning.

Remortgage your house if you are planning on buying a snack in the airport.

Was there a couple of weeks ago. A large beer was 6.50sfr (£4.60) and a sandwich (ham baguette) was 5.00sfr (£3.60), so £8.20 total. Try and get that price at Heathrow!

Albion will visit Swiss third tier side Meyrin in the only friendly of their pre-season training trip to the Alps.

The game at the Stade des Arberes will be played on Saturday, July 12 (3pm local time, 2pm BST) at the end of a week-long pre-season camp and will be the Seagulls’ first fixture of pre-season.

Entry to the match will be free for Albion supporters.

Meyrin's home ground is on the western fringes of Geneva.

About 20 minutes walk from the airport hotels, although is it Saturday or Sunday
