Why not suggest it to them ?

That East Stand became the away end at Filbert Street, once it went all-seater. There was nurses accommodation around that terraced road which made acquiring the properties nigh on impossible and couldn't be developed on. That main stand they built, which opened in 1993, didn't even see 10 seasons.

Anybody else open this thread assuming that the favour Luton Town needed was CMS taking off their hands?

That 30 point deduction for Luton sticks in my craw when you think what the cheats up the road got away with

Flower pots and shopping trolleys come to mind.
However a new ground would be a good thing for all football fans .��

I really don't know what to think anymore,.
When we were still at Gillingham I wrote an article for Scars And Stripes saying that if Palace ever did a Fans United I'd go (in the away end) because you need a rival as much as you need your own club (I still believe this BTW). So if I was ok to support them then getting behind Luton shouldn't even be a decision. I should just do it.
Yet what we are saying here is that they deserve a new stadium because they are so genuine and because the old one, while totally shit, was a proper football day out. So we're supporting gentrifying them because we admire their authenticity. At this point the number of paradoxes involved melts my brain.
Be careful what you wish for. I was talking to a West Ham fan on Monday morning about their move and he was scathing about it, In fact won't be going again. Before it was all about what pub or chippy you were meeting your mates in and you arrived in your seat to be centimeters away from the pitch. Now it's a long walk from Stratford station through the middle of nowhere to be sat in a stadium that used to encompass a running track, no matter how much they widened the pitch for the first match. All the faces are getting banned for standing. It will be full of bearded Hoxton wankers in five years flat.
Is this actually what we want?

No thanks - but I wonder if they've asked York City supporters?
Oh, and Filbert Street. Was nearly arrested in the road full of terraced houses for spitting out my chewing gum in to a drain. As the copper was talking to me I could see a police horse taking a massive shit in the middle of the road.

A few bell ends but hey, let he who is without sin an all that.
I love KR one of the last "proper" grounds IMO (well, 3 sides of it are)
The 150 or so Luton fans that visited Peacehaven for the friendly about a year ago were generally decent lads

On the horns of a dilemma with this one. Don't like Luton the town, don't like Luton the club, Luton fans? ...mehhh, Kenilworth Road is a complete dump BUT they are giving Christian Walton and Nathan Jones superb experience which may well benefit us in the long run.....ok, I'll sign it.

Nah. Don't like Luton. Hate Leeds and Millwall more mind you. Dinosaur club, horrible run down dive of a town. They should groundshare.

The Gaza Strip felt that being associated with Luton was detrimental to their image.
Nice to see they've started falling earlier than the leaves this year.

Signed. Know a few Luton fans, they're exited about the new plans, especially as it's right in the town centre too...quite rare these days.
