Macclesfield in Carling Cup

West Ham United have been drawn against Macclesfield Town in the Carling Cup second round draw.

The tie against the League Two outfit will take place at 7.45pm on Wednesday 27 August at the Boleyn Ground. The sides have only ever met once before. That came on 6 January 2002 when West Ham United won 3-0 away in the FA Cup third round - Jermain Defoe scored twice and Joe Cole got the other. Kevin Keen will have a particular interest as he ended his playing career at Moss Rose. whufc.com will have full ticket information as and when confirmed.
