Hear hear. Good on Luton for adopting it.

Scandalous that Prem clubs with their riches don't adopt it. Shows that they don't really see it as the "People's Game".

I can imagine a few members of the playing staff ringing their agents to ensure it didnt mean they would be getting a pay cut !!

a good step for luton employees. having worked and lived down south, albeit for a short period 18 months, you cannot survive on the national minimum wage (that is with having any decent quality of life) so by them adopting the living wage which i believe is aprox £2 an hour more will make a big difference to them. hopefully more clubs will adopt this and not exploit their own employees and take them for granted.

Fair play to them. (And I can tell you it gave me no pleasure to praise them!  :) )
