Pre-season is here!

The Hamlet have their first run-out of the new campaign on Saturday away to Walthamstow FC, of the Essex Senior League.

Walthamstow FC are a new name, but not a new club, having most recently been playing under the name of Waltham Forest.

They play at the Wadham Lodge Sports Ground, Kitchener Road, Walthamstow, E17 4JP

Please note, if driving, to type the post code “E17 4LL” when using your SatNav to find the ground.

For those going by public transport it's an easy journey, just jump onto the Victoria Line to Walthamstow Central and then cross the road from the station to the Bus Station and catch bus 34 (towards Barnet), 97 (towards Chingford Station), 215 (towards Lee Valley Campsite) or 357 (towards Chingford Hatch).

Alight in Chingford Road at Cazenove Road stop opposite St John’s Church. Cross the road into Brookscroft Road and continue to the end of the road. Turn left into Kitchener Road. The Ground is on the right. Allow about 20 minutes for this journey.

(Directions from their website)

And you'll be pleased to know that their ground has plenty of cover, so you won't have to swelter in the sun, getting burnt to a crisp, if you don't want to top up your tan!

PLEASE NOTE: This match kicks off at ONE O'CLOCK, which will give fans the opportunity to watch the England versus Sweden World Cup quarter-final tie on the television afterwards.
