MaVilla Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 cant see a thread. I for one welcome our new Premier League overlords. I also welcome the town that is the truest corporeal representation of Papa Nurgle to the land of riches. Long Live Nurgle Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted May 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2023 good luck getting a ticket if they come up. i'm fine with these smaller clubs getting promoted, they deserve it. but the so called greatest league in the world needs its own minumum stadium capacity rule IMO and not just the align itself to the EFL 5000 minumum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Luton was a proper shithole last time I went there. Edited May 18, 2023 by zab6359 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobalVillan Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 One of my earliest memories of going down the Villa ad a kid was a Tony Daley wonder goal against Luton where he ran the length of the pitch. Could have been in the first minute? And it could have ended 4-0? I also remember they had a decent team with the likes of Alec Chamberlain, Tim Breacker, Mark Stein, Mick Harford and Scott Oakes back in the day. They managed to cheat the system with the ban of away fans and their plastic pitch and I can't say I've missed them. Couldn't care less who wins the final because I have as much interest in Coventry City as I do in Limcoln City, Norwich City or Elgin City for that matter. A total irrelevance of a club with a really shit droney song.* * Actually come on Luton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 My first game in '91 was a 1-2 defeat to these lot, with my hero David Platt missing a penalty. I've hated them ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Wouldn't mind them coming up. A good story and not going to be playing their two Cup finals per year against us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I don’t know much about the area, but their airport is horrendously outdated and inefficient. Try to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would in turn be financially ruinous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Went to a game at their place in 83 I think. Gary Shaw got crocked, we lost 1-0 and their rancid fans started fights outside the ground after the game. Horrible club and fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
