Zatman Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Blackburn beat Luton then it means last game of season is a knockout match vs Millwall for the playoffs Pretty much guarantees Coventry are in unless a huge goal difference switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 1, 2023 Moderator Share Posted May 1, 2023 Luton's situation is so strange - they could be promoted with a capacity of 10,000 and need to spend £10m pretty much rebuilding one stand in three months in order to be allowed to play in the Premier League. They aren't far off breaking ground on building their new ground and the Premier league TV money would facilitate that - which would mean spending £10m this summer on something they'd be knocking down in three years time. I'd have thought it would have made sense to move out to Milton Keynes or somewhere similar for the season, but I can understand why they'd want to play at their spiritual home - even if is completely unsuitable for top tier football. We have three stands that each, individually, hold more people than their stadium as a whole - good luck getting an away ticket if they come up!

Bournemouth capacity is just over 1000 more, did they have similar issues when they came up unless Lutons ground is in a really poor state Both of them in the Premier League is going to bring the season average attendance down across the league especially if lose teams like Everton and Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I'm guessing it's not capacity linked, also not accessibility linked as surely the PL and championship are both under building control so need the same number of toilets, fire exits etc So then I'm thinking it's for goal line technology, cameras, VAR, gantries stuff like that Anyone know what the rules are?

Guest av1 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Looking at the league. The fan bases of the 2 north east clubs means potential investment, and Coventry are just scum. So I’m hoping Luton come up now to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like them since the way the petty Representatives for Wellingborough carried on over Bent. Long time ago, but they're such a bunch of miserable bitches. Don't mind Middlesbrough very much, Coventry belong in the 3rd tier so no thanks. Luton for me. Absolute shithole, but I'll have some whipping boys for the year please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think if they make it up this time, they'll not go back down for a while. But I'd prefer Coventry ... because the creative insults from Villa Talkers will be especially entertaining. A whole year of that to look forward to. It's hard to resist. Edited May 9, 2023 by Marka Ragnos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 i want Luton to get promoted, just for the lols. Although i want Boro to get promoted for Archer & Ramsey....... But the lols for Luton.........would be so worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I think next season will be interesting in relegation fight If Bournemouth and forest stay up ( well Bournemouth are anyway) you add burnley sheff utd and aplay ofd winner. Those 5 alone look like 5 poor teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that ended up being the difference between Luton staying up at a shitty Kenilworth Road with all of its home advantages, when compared to a neutral bland ground, then it would pay off within one season. Plus they have been waiting for a new ground for 30 years I am sure the proposed timescales of the new one will bound to slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
