Europa League Group A
Unfortunately the Hammers haven’t been drawn into a group with an Austrian team, but LASK’s group with Liverpool would not have been possible. And the group with Sturm Graz to me seems less attractive than Group A.
West Ham will have to play one game without away fans present.
Crazy Day Ahead
West Ham’s fans have three things to look forward today:
It’s not only the group stage draw of the Europa League at noon and the transfer window which is going to shut tonight – not before West Ham will have signed one or two more players on transfer deadline day hopefully.
It’s also a short trip from east London up to Luton where WHU have to play newly promoted Luton Town. We know all too good that a trip to a newly promoted team playing their first home game isn’t an eay task. Just remember Nottingham Forest last season when Declan Rice tried to fill Mark Noble’s boots as penalty taker and failed resulting in West Ham losing 0-1.
But this time the Hammers have started much better into the new season and even could regain the number one position in the Premier League table for one day at least. After having had their first home game of the season postponed because the refurbishment of their ground wasn’t ready it remains to be seen how Luton’s ground has now been developed to meet the requirements of the Premier League.
RapidHammer has already blogged about Luton and hopes that there will be no reason for an „Irrational Hatred of Luton“ tonight:

Supporters will file into one side of the Oak Road Stand through what must be the most unconventional entrance in the land, with these turnstiles of “Kenilworth Road“ sandwiched between a long row of terraced housing.
