Hammers friendly confirmed

Last updated : 21 May 2007 By Rick Lamb
West Ham have been inked in as the opponents in the first warm up match for the new season to be played at Carrow Road.

Alan Curbishley will bring his side to Norfolk on the 31st July for a 7.45pm kick-off. It could be an opportunity for fans to get a look at recently departed stars such as Dean Ashton and Robert Green, who have enjoyed contrasting fortunes in recent months at Upton Park.

Ashton, who left City in a £7million deal, has seen his season destroyed by injury, while Green can take much credit for keeping the Hammers in the Premiership thanks to a string of excellent performances.
