2007-08 Pre-Season friendlies confirmed

West Ham United can confirm that our pre-season friendly schedule prior to the 2007-08 Barclays Premier League campaign is almost complete.

After returning from their summer break on July 2, Alan Curbishley's men will kick-off the pre-season preparations on Saturday, July 14 with a short trip to local neighbours and the Football League's newest members, Dagenham & Redbridge, for a testimonial in honour of former QPR and Wales goalkeeper Tony Roberts.

The squad will then head off to an overseas destination - yet to be finalised - for a week before returning to carry on their build-up on home soil with another testimonial match at nearby rivals - this time for Leyton Orient manager Martin Ling at Brisbane Road on Tuesday, July 24.

A mixture of senior and younger players will then be used the following evening, Wednesday, July 25, for a match against MK Dons, now managed by former Hammer Martin Allen.

On Saturday, July 28, Hammers will travel to Roots Hall for a friendly clash against Southend United that will form part of the Essex club's Centenary celebrations, before heading to East Anglia on Tuesday, July 31 to face Norwich City - managed by our former Assistant Manager Peter Grant.

Following the trend of recent years, the Club will then round off its pre-season preparations with a prestige friendly at Upton Park on the weekend of Saturday, August 4 - seven days before the Premier League campaign kicks off, with opposition yet to be confirmed.
