Irons announce final game date and rivals!

|
West Ham United’s Final Farewell to the Boleyn Ground will be the Barclays Premier League fixture against Manchester United on Tuesday 10 May.

In a statement on www.whufc.com the club say: ‘The Hammers were originally due to take on Swansea City in their final home game at their historic home of 112 years, but the involvement of one of the Hammers or Manchester United in the Emirates FA Cup semi-finals has pushed the league meeting with the Red Devils back.

Plans for an unforgettable Farewell Boleyn Ceremony are already at an advanced stage, as the Club is determined to ensure fans’ memories of the Hammers’ historic home remain with them forevermore.

The game will kick-off at 7.45pm, but is still subject to change should Louis van Gaal’s team progress to the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League.

In that instance, the game would move to Wednesday 11 May.

Meanwhile, West Ham’s Boleyn Ground league match against Watford has been rescheduled for Wednesday 20 April, also with a 7.45pm kick-off.”
