Guest Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) As a neutral they get ten points out of ten for their phoenix-like resurgence, and should be held up as a model for all clubs that fall through the trapdoor. But I also remember David Evans and the ban on away fans, and for that you will always have a three point deduction. You've had worse than that...... Seven out of ten and hope you make it back into the top flight, but keep the away turnstiles open.

pub car king Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 If Luton go up it could ruin them, if they chase the dream. They need to spend millions to make Kennilworth Road usable as a ground even for a couple of seasons, the place is an absolute shit hole of a ground. It has a second hand wooden main stand that you'd question using as firewood, the away end involves a bird's-eye view of the neighbours garden and the ground itself is based in an area of the town best described by estate agents as "in need of some TLC" They have grand plans for power court (a disused industrial park in the centre of the town that they have bought up) however it seems to be dragging on at a glacial pace despite it being in absolutely everyone's interest to make this happen ASAP. They have more than a few knuckle draggers in their support and they are not a cuddly friendly plucky side, these people have a sense of entitlement about them. However, if they go up, don't spend a penny and live the dream for a season before plummeting straight back down the parachute money could keep them going for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capital & Regional, owners of the mall in the town centre, fought to prevent it, particularly Newlands Park. Thankfully they're gone. Laughing at the idea of Luton having a sense of entitlement though. It's been a running joke since they start moving back up the leagues the number of opposing managers/ players/ supporters who come away with the catchphrase they should be beating "teams like Luton". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Don Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I am old enough to remember when they were established in the top flight. I remember going there as an away fan following Palace in the early 90s, so what I hear you say, but visiting fans were actually banned from Kenilworth Road at the time. I managed to get the tickets via a friend that I went to Selhurst with who knew a Hatter at his work. We went to the ground not knowing what to expect, no colours were worn but it was obvious that we weren’t home fans. When we got in the ground there were probably about 100 other Palace fans dotted around the main stand and a few chants of ‘Eagles, Eagles!’ were heard. It was a few weeks before the FA Cup Final appearance. Luton won the game and I am pretty sure that they would have been relegated if they had lost that day. From what I remember they also won the next game to stay up. It’s good to see them on the way up again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 When they got relegated out the league the tears and snotters rivaled anything you saw at castle grayskull from old co. If they'd had a decent manager that season they would have stayed up they had the players to band league 2 is shite at the best of times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting take on it as the club started with a 30 point deduction and a last day rush to get a bunch of loan players in once the embargo was lifted. And you'd be hard pushed to find anyone at the club with a negative word to say about that manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
