Tomorrow's match is obviously a keenly anticipated event, despite the 'Sword of Damocles' 2-1 negative aggregate score against NK Domzale, defeat would see Hammers fail at their first hurdle of European footballing competition, not something the co-owners, players or fans would wish. To Thursday's game, there will be a huge amount of media attention, disproportionate to the importance of actual match itself, a loss would be damaging but not necessarily catastrophic and the match is a sell out .

There is plenty of interest around the Globe, and closer to home, in West Ham United's inaugural match at the London Olympic Stadium on Thursday evening, the 2nd leg of their UEFA Europa League cup tie against NK Domzale. Media coverage of the event is bound to be wide spread given the magnitude of the event and the timing being so close to the 50th anniversary of England's 1966 World Cup victory, famously engineered by the Hammer's triumvirate of Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters.
