And with a capacity only slightly more than ours. Although I believe they are moving to a new ground. And they were in the National League 9 years ago

Re: Luton Town
First time I've watched them and even I'm knackered. Not one of them stopped running or pressing for the whole game, very very impressive. Looking forward to watching them again.
Rob Edwards has done a fantastic job, as he did last year with Forest Green Rovers. Why did Watford let him go?

Got a mate in work who is an ST holder at Luton and he says the new ground is MILES off being built.Story of O wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 10:07 pm And with a capacity only slightly more than ours. Although I believe they are moving to a new ground. And they were in the National League 9 years ago
Also tells me that Kenilworth Road would be allowed in the Prem for the most part but they would have to revamp under the stands since the concourses are too compact and narrow.

Re: Luton Town
Knocking down one of the stands for a rebuild if they win at wembley according to those commentating, so could have a smaller capacity than us & still be premier league .The Mindsweep wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 10:08 pm First time I've watched them and even I'm knackered.

Re: Luton Town
considering he got sacked by watford before going to Luton is incredible , wonder if theyll take 40,000 like they did when they won the sherpa van trophy ?The Mindsweep wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 10:08 pm First time I've watched them and even I'm knackered.

Re: Luton Town
They've got a long way to go yet in terms of constructing a new stadium. If their current plans are seen through to fruition, then at least their fans will have a ground that's within the area, and not some remote out-of-town jobby.

Re: Luton Town
They have a lot of horrible fans particularly amongst their 20 -25 year olds. Similar to Millwall

Surely Luton would be a rare example of an out of town stadium being a good thing?Dunners wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 7:56 am They've got a long way to go yet in terms of constructing a new stadium.

It just goes to show what's possible . I remember the old Wimbledon club managed the same feat .Story of O wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 10:07 pm And with a capacity only slightly more than ours. Although I believe they are moving to a new ground. And they were in the National League 9 years ago

Re: Luton Town
Great to see, and good luck to them at Wembley.
Have got a mate who is a Hatters fan, and even he is pinching himself.
As said above, shows what is possible.

Re: Luton Town
If they are building a new stadium they could save a fortune on new seats by just asking Millwall for their old ones back.

Re: Luton Town
Rob Edwards could have 2 promotions in 2 seasons.
Pity Watford don't know who is a good manager when they see one. 11 matches W3 D5 L3, how did Watford end the season 11th W16 D15 L15. Club going backwards as no stability.

Certainly a very intimidating atmosphere for the Sunderland players and fans………..The Middlesbrough fans seem a bit quiet by comparison, so far.Lifelongfan wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 9:25 am They have a lot of horrible fans particularly amongst their 20 -25 year olds. Similar to Millwall
