Precisely. It’ll be nice to have a different team come up for once but you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who wants to go to Luton.
Luton Town in the Championship
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
Or, there are several thousand different posters on here and not all of them think the same.
It would be some story if Luton make it. Just nine years ago they were non league.
In Premier League era they must be the first club to potentially go all the way up the divisions?
I know Brighton and Bournemouth went up from League two but I think i'm right in saying that no club has ever gone all the way from non league to Premier League?

Will be an amazing story if Luton get to the PL.
If they get Coventry in the final, I hope they win and get promoted.
If it's Boro, I want Boro and Carrick to win.

I used to live quite close to Luton and used to go to games with a friend.Honestly i hope they go up.
They were original a top flight club and were relegated the season before the PL came into existance, then due to crap owners and crooks they floated around the divisions till they had to go into administration and were given another 30 points deduction due to the old owners being dodgy, which sank them down to non league. So yeah they deserve to get back up imho.
Plus Kenilworth is a great old school ground, your practically on top of the pitch and it's practically made of tin so it's loud. They were originally meant to be in there new stadium by now, but covid etc stopped it before it's started.
Coventry are in the same position, completly mismanaged and even managed to get themselves evicted from their own stadium, plus i also saw my first ever United game there years back on a trip with my of all things.. So be good to see one of those two come up.
Ahh man never did I think there's a realistic chance to get to PL in my lifetime. Desperately gonna try get tickets to the final. Hoping to face Coventry as I quite like them too.
Can you count Wimbledon?
I'd much prefer a team i haven't seen before in the premier league, rather than West Brom again. Mix it up.
Same! I never want to see West Brom or Norwich in the Premier league again!
Possibly, although they were in the Premier League when it began in 92.
Totally agree, love when it happens.
Pardon?
I said "Millwall cannot be described as anything other than an absolute shithole populated by total cnuts."
luton is that bad that the people there built an international airport to escape it, even though gatwick, heathrow and stanstead aren’t that far away.
If they come up, I reckon they'll be in contest for the worst points total the PL has ever seen.
They're awful.
They're awful.
Hmmm. Millwall off the old kent road near Ilderton road. Its actually a mixed bag of folk. Gary Oldman is from around there and supports Millwall. You calling him a cnut?
Dammit don't make me call Jean Baptiste from The Fifth Element a cnut, that's not fair.
Gary Oldman is a cnut
Just read that last season Forest were allocated 36k tickets last season. That in itself is more than three time the capacity of Kenilworth road, so if you've got a membership or previous booking history you should be able to get tickets for Wembley. Tickets went on general sale for last night for those who had been to 5 home matches this season and there were still some (not many, I tried and failed in my attempts) available on Monday for fans who had a previous booking history. Ticket details should be available at the end of this week at the very latest so just keep tabs.
Kenilworth Rd is a great old school football ground !!!
It has a fantastic atmosphere that new stadiums cannot reproduce.

Why? It would be amazing for that little club to be in biggest league in the world. It would be great for football itself. Hopefully playing at Kenilworth Road to.
I would have thought their stadium wouldn't be Premier League compliant... But will be cool to lose 1-0 away there
Thank you. Yeah I'm all over that page on the website haha
We need to invest £10m on it to make it PL compliant.
Does that all need to be done over the summer? Seems pretty tough...
It's not, they already admitted they have a lot of work to do to get the required media facilities, camera positions etc. Think they are already planning to completly build one stand for it to be PL complaint.
Yep
Haven't heard it in 30 years.
Tune.
I pride myself on knowledge of krap ephemera like this so I have to say I'm in awe at this find!
Kenilworth Road has an old school charm about it, whereas Coventry's ground is quite drab and clinical. I hope Luton go up for that reason.
Spurs were non-league when they last won a trophy , the FA Cup in 1901.
Yes
Hope they're allowed to play in their stadium - iconic place
Show the players video of their fan punching Amad before each of our matches against them. Then go out and smash them.
Great story for Luton otherwise

Is there a reason they've spent so long there? It's a very small ground for what's historically not a very small team. I think there's 3 teams in the PL right now that have less top-flight experience than Luton but I don't remember any teams with a ground like that.
Shit club. Shit football. Fans are cnuts.
Should be forced to play their home matches away at their oppositions ground as a consequence for having such a decrepit, rancid grief hole of a stadium to begin with.

I have a feeling you dont like Millwall.
It will be a shitty experience for every visiting team. Fecking hell, dont let them play at that shithole of a stadium.
I have no strong views on Luton but these are the types of posts we don't get enough of. Smaller teams deserve hate too and the fact we tend to be all 'oh what plucky underdogs, how charming' about every team below the top six is frankly disrespectful to them.
