Luton have a very bright manager in Edwards-destined for better things with a good CV. Fail to see how Luton could play in the PL without absolutely huge improvements to their ground and facility. Almost an impossibility in a close season of two months
Need to spend £10m just to meet PL requirements but yeah the timing makes it a challenge. The suggestion is they might have to play at Stadium MK isn’t it?

Happy to see Luton win this one. Don’t want a team who could average 45,000 a week anywhere near the premier league.

They’ve said they are going to spend £10m on the ground if they go up to allow PL football to be played there

They’ve got planning permission. It’s right in the town centre but I don’t know when they are starting on it.

he had a good season imho, doesn't let us down. It'll be interesting to see if he stays considering his lack of game time, I hope he does stay

Sunderland have hung in here and you’d have to fancy they will get a chance before the night is out.

It's like a team of men against an U16s team.
I feel sorry for Sunderland, but no doubt Luton are worthy of this.

Absolutely, but they’ve been absolutely panned and yet may be just one good chance away from taking this the distance.

Work on a 23k capacity stadium on the site of a former power station in the town centre scheduled to start by the end of the year

As has been mentioned estimated £10M spend to bring Kenilworth Road up to PL standard. Think they need to redevelopment the stand along one side that looks like it consists of a series of boxes

Not looking likely, they’ve hardly laid a glove on Luton. But, as Brian Clough used to say, it only takes a second to score a goal young man.

Not for me Riley.....the more they commit (with 10 minutes remaining), the more vulnerable they are at the back.

Can’t believe they’re being allowed to build a football stadium on the nicest part of the town.

Those were considered to be ground breaking at the time they were constructed when Luton were in the old Division 1, built as executive boxes.

A series of boxes makes it sound almost corporate. They’re more like hand-me-downs from Safestyle’s 1984 patio door sale.
