Buffon must be thrilled at the chance to play at our new stadium!

Might see if I can get along to this, depending on ticket availability. £20 adults is a nice price, a lazy Sunday afternoon game and then some train travel back up home. Sounds pretty tasty.

Interesting (but crappy) official video on West Ham Facebook and the logo on the main screen in the OS is that "London" one with no castle!!

Playing your first game in a brand new stadium a week before the season starts ain't the smartest thing to be doing surely? Thought we would have wanted to at least get the players used to playing rhere. Great match though, hopefully the likes of juventus will be appearing every here every season throughout the season

Anyone know if/when you can get Academy Membership for next season? It says tickets open up to Academy members on the 9th but I can't see anywhere to get membership. Had to pass up a season ticket this year, I'll be even more gutted if I miss this.

Saw Barca/Madrid doing the rounds not too long ago as a rumour for the first game, but I'm far more excited for Juventus.

We've only got it for 25 days of the year though, haven't we? Can't burn the extras up on friendlies before the season starts.

Probabilmente lo avete conosciuto come Stadio Olimpico, in occasione dei Giochi di Londra 2012: dal prossimo mese di agosto sarà ufficialmente lo stadio del West Ham.

E la società londinese ha scelto la Juve come partner per un giorno così speciale come l’inaugurazione della struttura: accadrà il 7 agosto, quando i bianconeri disputeranno la prima partita all’interno del “nuovo” stadio.

At least we do not have to have a few under capacity test events like they had at Arsenal and Wembley.

Still plenty of black and white seats...

Anyone know which city Juventus are from as their badge doesn't say?
