West Ham United have issued travel information for supporters attending Wednesday’s pre-season friendly against Stevenage.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s side visit Broadhall Way on Wednesday, 22 July, with kick-off scheduled for 7.45pm BST.
The match represents another important stage of West Ham’s preparations for their Championship campaign. Stevenage should provide competitive opposition after finishing sixth in League One last season.
Alex Revell’s side collected a club-record 75 points before losing to Stockport County in the play-off semi-finals.
West Ham’s official supporter guide confirms that away fans will be seated in the South Stand behind one of the goals.
Stevenage trip gives Nuno another squad opportunity
Broadhall Way has a capacity of 7,318 and can be reached from London using Great Northern or Thameslink services.
Supporters driving from east London can travel north on the A1 before leaving at Junction 7. Parking is available around Fairlands Valley and on streets near the ground, although fans may face a short walk.
The fixture follows West Ham’s opening public friendly against Southend United. ReadWestHam previously covered how the Southend and Stevenage trips begin Nuno’s pre-season programme.
Nuno could again use the match to assess several academy players before making decisions over possible loan moves.
Lewis Orford will attract particular attention after spending part of last season on loan at Stevenage. Mohamadou Kanté, George Earthy and Ollie Scarles are also competing for places in the Championship squad.
West Ham last visited Broadhall Way in July 2014. Late goals from Matt Jarvis and Stewart Downing rescued a 2-2 draw.
Wednesday’s result will remain secondary to fitness and preparation. However, the fixture gives Nuno another opportunity to establish his preferred system before the Championship opener against Burnley.
