Any idea when we’re likely to find out what day we’ll play?

From memory, I think it’ll be before the replay is played


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

Think I must’ve been spoiled growing up watching us in Division 1 (as it was) because I can never get used to seeing people from inbred hick towns like Wigan and Luton looking at us like some 10-bob non-league outfit. I’ll never forgive Fenty for that.


You can't blame Fenty for our relegation from the second tier in 2003.  Most clubs with Championship pedigree or ambition had moved to smart new stadia by then.

It will be difficult for any owner to get us back to that level.  Look at League One now: Sheff Wed, Ipswich, Derby, Bolton, Charlton and Portsmouth are all bigger than Town.

Many league 1 clubs are smaller than Town and quite a few are on a par so that is a reasonable target.

I do think though that the Championship is now out of reach for us due to the astronomical wages needed.

Quoted from grimps


Yeah Wigan used to have one of the worst grounds in the league and one of the worst supported .
Luton had a great side in the 80s but I’ve never seen them as a bigger club than us.
It’s hard for me to get excited about either clubs in an FA cup game as I’m sure their fans will feel the same about facing us


Luton plan to move to a new 17,500 capacity stadium, with the potential to increase to 23k.  This table states they have traditionally finished higher than us, 40 vs 44:

Brighton aren't included, but of course they are well set up for the Premier League and must be close to 'relegating' us to League One.

You come across as a very unpleasant person.  I don't think the moderators should allow those sort of comments.

Quoted from Son of Cod

I don't think there's a ground in the country that divides opinion quite like Kenilworth Road. For me, it's a great stadium. One of the best in the country for sheer uniqueness alone. Football in this country will lose a bit of character when Luton move.


There is no sense in which Kenilworth Road is great.  Would you be happy if Town's new stadium was a replica?

Kenilworth Road is a throwback to another era.
Walkways through some terraced houses
Different stands thrown up with no similarity

I love Indian food, but the place stinks…..

Definitely not being racist but it’s true.

Street parking

Basically a mess.
Blunder Park without the curry and walkways through slums.
