Xtratime Community - FC Lucerne teeters on the brink of bankruptcy (463 words)
FC Lucerne has faired badly on the pitch this season and is facing relegation, but worse still is how the season has panned out for the team’s finances.
FC Lucerne has been troubled financially for a while and it was dealt a fatal blow last week when its longstanding main sponsor, Casino Lucerne, pulled out of its commitments.
If they are unsuccessful and are declared bankrupt, FC Lucerne will not be able to reapply for a football licence, which means that the club would have to start all over again at the very bottom in the fifth division.
BBC - h2g2 - Lucerne, Switzerland (2682 words)
Although Lucerne has some heavy industry, most notably in the satellite towns of Kriens and Emmenbrücke, it was probably one of the first cities in the world to make tourism a major source of income.
Lucerne is spelled Luzern in German, and so this is the name that will be shown on Swiss railway timetables, road signs, etc. Many are the times that confused tourists have been found wandering around the French Swiss town of Lausanne, wondering why they can't find their hotel.
Although Lucerne is on the whole a very safe and pleasant experience, the industrial towns of Emmen, Littau and Kriens on its northern and western boundaries have a terrible reputation in Switzerland as a whole for a wide range of social problems.
