@KensingtonSC Thanks for the help. I was traveling all day yesterday. I am actually in Trenton for the week on business.
My pleasure! I figured you were busy. Trenton? Who gets sent to Trenton for business?? I hope it works out for you. Can't recommend too much in Trenton, but RiverHorse is a brewery in Ewing which isn't too far away. If you want something to do, Snipes is just across the river, and they have great 18-hole pitch and putt and driving range. Take the Trenton-Morrisville free bridge (The one that says "Trenton Makes, The World Takes) and it's right where that road meets Route 1 in Levittown. Also, depending on where you're at, you can take the SEPTA Trenton Line into Philly. It's only about 65 minutes or so to get into downtown Philly and only costs $9. If you have a car, it's much better and faster. Plenty to see and do in the city. You can also take the NJ Transit train up to New York Penn Station and see Manhattan. That's $16 one way, I believe, but worth it.
I am actually in Ewing. I will be heading down to PHL tonight after work, Thurs we are heading over to Princeton to see the Art Museum and have dinner and some farm to table restaurant. Thanks for the insight!
4 April Rapperswil-Jona - Servette 0-1 Servette gets their first win of the season. 5 April Schaffhausen - Chiasso If it would not have been difficult enough, Alhassane Soumah has been suspended for 4 matches for Chiasso.

Vaduz - Winterthur Interesting matches for the mid-week matches. There could be some good one. Also, Wil, Rapperswil-Jona, Wohlen and Chiasso have all been notified that their lighting does not meet the minimum requirements and they must be improved.

Chiasso was just hit with a 3 point deduction for an abnormal payment of salaries in May. They have 5 days to appeal, if it does not work, they will have -2 points.
9 Aug Chiasso - Rapperswil- Jona Servette - Wil Wohlen - Xamax Three interesting matches today. 10 Aug Aarau - Schaffhausen Vaduz - Winterthur
9 Aug Chiasso - Rapperswil-Jona 1-0 Servette - Wil 1-0 Servette the better team, they hit the crossbar twice and thoroughly outplayed Wil. Frick the keeper got a red in the 84', that made the end a little more exciting than desired. Wohlen - Xamax 1-2 An early OG for Xamax out them down, but they controlled the match.
Xamax is the real deal. Can't wait for next Friday when they play Schafhausen at La Maladiere. Should be a banging match.

@Arrows Looks like the people in Aarau read your post and threat to ditch the club in favor of Delemont. Sandro Burki has been hired as the new Sporting Director of Aarau. Riamondo Ponte has been fired. This also means that Burki has retired.
Both happy and sad to read this! Burki was a great captain and loyal servant to this club! All the best to him!
18 Aug Xamax - Schaffhausen Huge match, I hope that a lot of people show up for it. 19 Aug Chiasso - Wil Rapperswil-Jona - Wohlen 20 Aug Aarau - Vaduz 21 Aug Winterthur - Servette How will Servette's backline do with the most recent departure? Fun week!
18 Aug Xamax - Schaffhausen 0-1 Major win for Schaffhausen and Servette. 19 Aug Chiasso - Wil 3-0 Rapperswil-Jona - Wohlen 3-2 20 Aug Aarau - Vaduz 0-2 21 Aug Winterthur - Servette If Servette wants to stay in the hunt for promotion, they need 3 points tonight at the last placed team.
This is Schaffhausen's season to lose. It's not just that they're off to a hot start. Makin is a good manager. They have a really great attacking side, but can also grind out a result when need be. The new stadium seems to also have invigorated everyone at the club. They look really good right now.
I agree. I wonder if they will be able to keep the side together at the winter transfer window. I guess how committed are they to promotion?
21 Aug Winterthur - Servette 0-2 Le Pogram scored two late goals, but the real story was Lang having about 4 chances in front of the goal with very little pressure and he could not even put them on frame. Servette needs to be much more clinical in front of the goal. They dodged a massive bullet right before the 1st goal as Winterthur had a low hard shot hit the post, rebound off the back of the Servette keepers foot and out of play. They are looking for a goal-scorer. If they really hope to challenge for promotion, they will need it.

25 Aug Servette - Aarau Short week for Servette, but this is an important home match. Three points is a must to keep up with Schaffhausen and Xamax. 26 Aug Wil-Winterthur Wohlen - Chiasso 27 Aug Schaffhausen - Vaduz Tough stretch for Schaffhausen. 28 Aug Xamax - Rapperswil-Jona How will Xamax respond to the loss.
Murat Yakin leaves Schaffhausen for GCZ after Carlos Bernegger was fired. He is, oddly enough, replaced by current GCZ U21 manager Boris Smiljanic. Many Xamax, Servette, and Vaduz fans are rejoicing since it's believed that this will bring FCS down to earth open up the title race.
