Groundshare with mk dons? 19 miles away, a tad over 30,000 capacity?

I am given to understand they will need to spend £10M to bring their ground u to the required Premier League standard. The saga of a new stadium has dragged on for years and years.........

I remember the Kohlerdome, back in the early 80s, maybe they’ll resurrect that?!

They have had planning permission for a new stadium for five years, originally it was going to be out of town at Jct 10 of the M1, that site has now been sold after approval to build a new retail park and hotel on the site, the money for that will go towards a new stadium in the centre of Luton, I think the detailed designs for the new stadium has been agreed. I get my info from my uncle who lived in Luton for over 40 years and who has just moved back to Norfolk after 70 years away........

Luton were in the Premier League before in that ground. A few years ago, mind.

Surely you mean Div 1. Pretty sure they've never been Premier League.

Did anyone else have Luton membership back in the day?

I remember going to a programme seller in Bungay to buy a load of Luton programmes to get the membership coupons

I got in the season we shipped 4 goals but was refused entry the day we drew 0-0 to go top*

*IIRC

Never a dull moment being a Luton fan, the ultimate yo yo club... from Championship to Non-League back to Championship. They're always either on their knees or punching way above their weight.

Luton beat City 1-0 in a FA Cup semifinal replay in 1959, Billy Bingham scored.  My uncle swore to his dying day that it was offside, no VAR in those days.
