Good pre-season lined up, or is it just me being positive?
Just hope LMH sticks with a formation so the players actually know what they're doing

Flights, hotel and trains from Geneva booked.
It's not cheap but it could be worse!
Looks a decent place to visit if anyone is considering Martigny.

Pre-season really was a joke last season. This season's is actually like a proper one that a proper club would do, so that's ace to see. We had 5 games over 4 weeks and one of them was against Orlando B in a weird format.
This is way better and it's excellent to see.

Looks like a decent pre season. About time as well. Last seasons was a disgrace. We were no where near match fit until game 8 of the season.

Few of us are going to Switzerland too which should be good.

I've kind of glossed over some of the abuse Tony Scholes gets on here but this really does show how shockingly bad he is if this is instead of Leipzig or Germany. Switzerland? Fucking Switzerland? We're from Stoke-on-Trent, Tony, how out of touch can you really be with your fans? Of course, we sent a great following over to Thun but that was obligatory, this is a pre-season friendly and our Germany trips over the past 3 seasons will have been some of the best times those lucky enough to have gone have had as Stoke fans. Cheap, affordable and great fun for a weekend trip. Why fuck this up? People have come to look forward to these trips apart of their yearly plans, put money aside etc. but you can forget that now. To have as good as time as you would in Germany, financially speaking you can stick another £200 on the price of your trip easily. www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Biel?displayCurrency=GBPBiel looks about 2.5x the cost of Stoke for your essentials.

Has anyone looked at the venue for the AS Monaco match?
It may as well be played at Northwood Stadium.
Was looking at going until I saw that, may go to Leipzig instead.

Typical of pre-season friendlies to be honest. Not like 30,000 are going to turn up... Seem to remember us playing somewhere similar before, and getting a live webcast of the game. Always wondered why they could do it at s*** grounds against poor opposition, but not against the 'big' teams.
