I have a soft spot for them, as my now local team.

But also because they have a number of ex West Ham players amongst their ranks.

Dan Potts, Pelly Ruddock, Reece Burke, henri Lansbury, and most recent signing Robert Snodgrass!

Would be most funny if they did get in, with their shitty little ground.
As you're local to Luton do you know when they're supposed to be starting work on their new stadium ? Long overdue. As an ex player of absolutely no distinction whatsoever of the club I too wish them well. But whatever happens they've done bloody well to get back up to the Championship in such a short time.

Actually played there when they had the plastic pitch. You could rent out the stadium for games. I scored in both goals one was a header and the other was a fantastic move from the back (I was a CB back in the day) I passed it out to our LB, we interchanged a few passes ending up with me volleying in from nearly 30 yards

After the game I asked my then wife did you see that fantastic goal, to which she replied, she couldn't as the sight of me running had made her laugh so much she had tears in her eyes....... Another reason she became an ex wife

Oh and fuck Luton as they had a habbit of beating us back in the day

They did. When we won promotion in 80/81 we only lost 4 games. Guess who two of those games were against. ?

I think though it held up with counter arguments from the nearby shopping Mall about losing business.
Long overdue. I've always thought Luton is a town that can support at least a Championship side but Kenilworth Road has got to be near the top of my worst grounds ever visited list.

Can only think of two worst ones and they're both long gone. Southampton (The Dell) and Wimbledon (Plough Lane)

I agree its a crap ground, along with the old Bmth one and Layer Road, Colchester being another awful one. I'm happy they're up, one more easy away game to get too and usually an easy 6 points. Best news of the day was Brooks getting the cancer all clear.

Cannot stand Luton, fuckers beat us in my first ever match in 1979, I was up stupid early as so excited to go, fuckers ruined my whole day and I will never forgive them. Cunts

I went to the old Layer Road ground for a pre season game many years ago but I gave them a pass because they are a lower league team. You mentuion Bournemouth's "old one". Have they moved from Dean Court ? The one with, apparently, the biggest car park in the country. Some years ago, just after we signed Davor Suker, I took Mrs W and my youngest boy on a week's break to Looe in Cornwall, via 2 nights in Bournemouth, to coincide with our pre season games against Bournemouth, Plymouth and Exeter. The Bournemouth game was at Dean Court. Didn't realise they'd moved I just thought the name of the stadium had changed.

Bournemouth reminded me of the old Wimbledon , small crowd but still smashed the big clubs for fun and even West Ham as well

With 70% of income to spend on transfer by 2025, good luck to Bournemouth.

Mores to the point their little bus shelter of a ground only holds about 60 fans, which in my eyes is a fucking disgrace.
Surely any side in the premier League should have a ground capable of holding at least 20k minimum.
So fuck them and the horse they came in on, hope their stay is short lived and Scott Parker can fuck right off as well.

Worst average crowd this season…… in the fucking championship

There should be certain requirements to be in PL. Having having a ground that small isn’t good enough for me, in this day and age. They’ve had plenty of money from the league in the last few years.

Would rather Wednesday, Forest, Sunderland any day over the smaller clubs.

I’ve got no time for Bournemouth but can’t agree with the ground size thing. If we start bringing in rules like that it gets a bit Euro Super League for me. Promotion can only be based on what happens on the pitch.

Hopefully only one season to put up with them this time.
