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

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.

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.

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 .

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 ?

Luton Town have been planning to move to a new ground for 8 years, not one brick laid yet.

Anyone remember back in the 1990s when they were going to move to the Koladome ?

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.

Think they have had planning permission for a while though.

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?

It just goes to show what's possible . I remember the old Wimbledon club managed the same feat .

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.

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

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.

They spent 5 seasons as a non league club.
Turnaround is simply remarkable.

Doncaster and Salford don't know a good manager when they see one either .

Only one team have conceded fewer goals than Luton Town. I hope Kevin Dearden gets a massive bonus.

Certainly a very intimidating atmosphere for the Sunderland players and fans………..The Middlesbrough fans seem a bit quiet by comparison, so far.
