Hi I am trying to organise our annual Veterans Football tour for June 2009 to Switzerland, our team is from England. We are mostly aged between 50 and 60 years and our standard is quite low, if any one can help find us some similar aged and standard teams please can you contact me on westcumbria.veterans@virgin.net

Many Thanks
Tony Mcmullen

where are you going to visit? I could see a match being possible in Zurich.

Many thanks, if possible we could do with 3 games as we will have about 15-18 in our party. Zürich is a possibility depending on flights etc. Age is not too much of an issue just the level, we recently played some English lads in Bratislava, they were on average about 25 years younger than us but we had a great game ending up 8-8. to give you some idea of what you would be playing is a picture of us in Bratislava recently.

crikey, it's Arsenal Grandads on tour!

I certainly have contacts for games in Zurich (even can present a veteran's team for you) and we could even look at a little footy afternoon with a few shorter matches.

Zurich has its very own airport - so flights could be possible.

If you have interest in the Geneva region, there is a team organised by a Wee Scotsman down there that we could put you in touch with.

More like Arsenal great granddads the way we play, we won the strip recently for being the oldest football team in the North West of England. Looked at the flights to Zürich and they are not too bad with Easyjet, we would prefer to play Veterans teams however the standard is more important. How far is Geneva from Zürich? It might be nice to take in a couple of cities whilst in Switzerland, I am off out now to work on our pitch and will reply when I return later in the day.
Many Thanks.

Comet if your in the North West there are flights from Liverpool to Basel and Geneva. I'll offer my service as a veteran "cheerer onner".

Cheers, this is possibly the best airport if the schedule and times remain about the same. Do you live in the Basel area? Hopefully we can arrange some games for you be our chief cheerleader though I think you will soon hit the bar when you see us play.

I have already made contact with someone in Zürich who can arrange a game however I would also like to organise a couple of games in Basel as we are flying there and will stay there the night before we fly.
Many Thanks
