Boreham Wood v West Ham
Our first chance to knock the cobwebs off in preparation for the new season takesplace this coming Monday.
West Ham will be visiting the Vanarama National League side Boreham Wood at the 4,500 capacity Meadow Parkland stadium , in the first match of a pre-season fixture list that will see us in Australia, France and Germany.
It is somewhat strange to think that only a month ago, we were lifting the UEFA Europa Conference League trophy after our famous win over Italian side ACF Fiorentina.
Time certainly flies by these days !
As regards the team, it is likely that those who were not on International duty could all play a part in Monday`s game. It is likely that the likes of Jarrod Bowen, Danny Ings, Kurt Zouma, Aaron Cresswell, Łukasz Fabiański and Pablo Fornals could be involved, as could big Oggy – who signed a new, one-year deal with the Hammers this week.
This also an opportunity for our Supremo and his rapidly dwindling staff to have a look at some of our Academy prospects. It would nice to see the likes of Divin Mubama, Levi Laing, Kaelan Casey and Ollie Scarles to get a run out, as they will all be eager to impress.
Tickets for the game are available on Boreham Wood`s website and the Adult prices are £15, as are Over-65s. Under 18s can can get in for £10, while under-12s can buy their tickets for just £5.
We played them about the same time as this last season and escaped with a 1-1 draw, a portent of what how the Irons Premier League season would eventually turn out.
