Honey Honey Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Since there's no Luton fans here safe to ruin their thread a bit. The one thing that always sticks in my mind about Luton is an FA Cup game years ago where they kept shouting "Freak" every time Peter Crouch touched the ball. I thought that a level of banter that went too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them for having astroturf, that stuffs not fun to play rugby on ..and 12 garden sheds banged together to make a stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Kenilworth Road Stadium has a capacity of around 10,000 people. Plans have already been put in place to increase the capacity of the stadium, but I think it's a bit of a race against time to have it ready for the new Premier League season.

Reluctant Striker Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 For me Luton are the old astroturf side from another era. They were kind of Wimbledon, before Wimbledon were Wimbledon. People either loved how unconventional they were. Or disliked them for it. As for 'celebrity' connections, I am fairly sure Nick Owen is a fan. Nick Owen & Anne Diamond were a national TV presenting team a few years back. In more recent years he has been BBC Midlands Today (local news) presenter. And personally I have been near Luton airport a few times, for work reasons. If you are curious, it seemed to be all fields & main roads. Not quite 1 thing or another sort of place.

There's an area as you come in to Luton just off the A6 which is very nice, massive houses near Barnfield College. But beyond that it's a massive dive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted May 29, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted May 29, 2023 Fair play to the players and the manager and club as a whole. Who gives a fuck about the cunts from the town or how their stadium isn’t up to the Premier league standard. Gotta love an underdog story. I hope they stay up next season.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted May 31, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted May 31, 2023 It's not true about them being the first to go non-league to Premier League. Wigan seemed to have been erased from memory here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 The local district league rugby team has a bigger stadium than Kenilworth Park. I also think we could fit more away fans than they can home fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Luton have been handed an exemption by the Premier League and will be allowed to begin the season without installing undersoil heating. The top flight rulebook currently states that such facilities must be part of any stadium with several clubs, Bournemouth among them in 2015, having to bring it in after winning promotion from the Championship. Luton's Kenilworth Road was hosting non-league games less than a decade ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
