Looking forward to Haaland playing on a cold Tuesday night in December at Kenelworth Road 😄

In all seriousness its great to see a team like Luton go up. I hope they've already got the builders on the phone, £10m of improvements to the stadium is going to take some time to do!

Luton have planned to replace one stand with a new one for the start of next season. £10 million is a drop in the ocean if they are now £180 million richer.

They just be using foreign builders.  British builders would not deliver in time.

Bournemouth are another struggling team who were their last league game away from NL. (Town played them or their  rivals for the drop I think?).

Bournemouth had Eddie Howe as manager and rich owners now.  They had to get there though.  Their ground also has a very low capacity but they manage and survive.

If we were ever to emulate Luton then we could hardly had a more encouraging start for the last 2 seasons:

Bouncing back to the EFL at the first attempt (rare);

Winning at County and Wrexham (record breakers the following season.  And both promoted.

Creating a FAC record the next season by beating 5 teams from higher divisions.  (An indicator of higher league potential?)

If the cup wins were in the league and we had a longer close season to recover and plan - then who knows what we could have done last season?

Success delivered by new, good, sensible owners who are local and fans.

We have a very good manager who knows the club.

The fans are starved of success and becoming STHs in record numbers. Success breeds success.  Where do we go next on our journey?

Incredible journey for Luton. Gives us hope. Unusually for me I didn’t mind who went up. I’ve forgiven Cov for the Mick Coop pen that upset me as a 9 year old.
Cov were disgracefully robbed of their stadium through what turned out to be a bordering on fraudulent financing deal by the Wasps rugby owner. Justice was done when Wasps went bust, they had massive debts and there was never any realistic prospect of Wasps having a viable operation in Coventry. Hope Cov go up next season.
