Ticket notice for first friendly

Hampton and Richmond Borough would like to remind West Ham United supporters that next week's first pre-season friendly of the summer is all-ticket.

The Alan Devonshire-managed club are staging the match at their Beveree Stadium on Thursday 17 July. Demand has been high and they had fewer than 400 seats remaining as of Friday morning. As such, a sell-out is expected and fans are to take note that there will be no ticket sales on the day or cash admissions. Debit/Credit card sales can be made through Hampton and Richmond Borough only on 020 8979 2456.

The non-league club, who just missed out on promotion to the Conference last season will be the only test for Alan Curbishley's squad before they embark on the pre-season tour of the United States and Canada. The players and coaching staff will then fly out to Ohio in readiness to face Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer on Sunday 20 July. They will then move on to Toronto for the high-profile MLS All-Star game on Thursday 24 July, a match that will include David Beckham.
