Brighton & Hove Albion’s pre-season plans were put in disarray, and the club has U.S. President Donald Trump, among other world leaders, to thank for that.
The Seagulls were set to have training camp this week in the French town of Evian-les-Bains, using the local fields near the Hotel Royal Resort, where they would have been based. However, when a small group of Brighton staffers arrived early to prepare the facilities, they quickly discovered that the fields had been torn up and rendered unusable, according to a report from The Athletic.
