GlossopLatic Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Luton are due to sell out their 36000 allocation for the play off final plus they have a waiting list for season tickets of about 8000 apparently too. If anything they are completely hampered by Kenilworth Road it's a bigger club than its currently allowed to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 In other turnaround news Stockport were in the National League North in 2019 fast forward 4 years and after defeating the Salford "project" they are now a game away from League 1.

Might have to give the @BPAS episode with the suppoerts trust another listen. A blueprint to follow???? Hardly spent a penny on facilities in forty years.....shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the prem, even if they win the Wembley showpiece.

They've got a spade in the ground for their new stadium. Sat what you like about greed in the Premier League but at least they haven't pulled the drawbridge up.

Ritchierich Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Luton’ ground has very little development opportunity and is in a dreadful part of town so really not much point in spending too much money on it, I think they have been focusing on a new stadium development which makes more sense for them…BP is a different situation It s a great story if either of them go up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 Let's defo hope we do a Luton. Convinced they'll finish bottom, but they made it with 5 years prem money to make them contenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Luton are going to be using MK Dons’ white elephant for a season, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I’ve never been to Kenilworth Rd but just seen the entrance to one of the stands is directly through a row of terraced houses! However, a new 20,000 capacity stadium with 30% safe standing is scheduled to be completed for the start of the 25/26 season. Whether they will still be in the Premiership by then is anyone’s guess!

Dave_Og Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 It's quite a turnaround not just in their progress on the pitch but also in that they were a universally disliked club due to their hideous chairman when they were successful but they're now everybody's favourite underdog.

Longlostfan Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I'm pleased for them. I think it will be hard for them in the greedy league and careful management will be required so that they aren't completely broken when they get relegated. Success from here is probably getting a few seasons in not all being relegation dogfights with a few great results. The only downer is all the 'just the second* team to go from national league to premier league' comments we will have to listen to in 2030 when we get back to the premier league. assuming Stockport don't get there before us.
