Summer Latest

Arrangements for West Ham United's pre-season friendly matches are underway - with two matches still to be finalised.

The build-up begins with a trip to Leyton Orient on 19th July, in aid of a testimonial for O's Chief Scout Len Cheesewright, followed by a visit to Southend United on 23rd July.

A trip to Colchester United follows on 26th July, followed by a game at First Division new-boys Reading on 5th August.

The Hammers may face Norwich City, and one other game will be arranged, but there will definitely not be a friendly against Sparta Prague this summer, as the Czech club have other commitments.
