glastonred Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Given Joe Morell's transfer to Luton Town yesterday I thought I would take a look at their fans' forum to see their reaction. What I found was the most confusing mess of a website, which was totally incomprehensible to navigate. It made no sense at all. It's layout and design was terrible. If I was a Luton fan I would be embarrassed. It also highlighted what a delight OTIB is. Over the years I have looked at plenty of Championship forums, and OTIB far outshines any of them. Long may that continue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eighteen ninetyfour Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Funnily enough i was having a look last night and thought the same, i had a look on google to see if there was any other forums and stumbled across a much more organized forum for Luton Town here https://lutontownforum.freeforums.net/ Although only 3 posts. Surely they would prefer a more user friendly forum than the abomination they currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew me Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Is there a worse place to live? Vile place, awful airport, shocking stadium, high crime , lots of poverty.

Genuinely don't remember visiting anywhere as bad as Luton Hull feels like Paris of the North in comparison Its a shocking town. The only thing it does have going for it is the fairly close proximity to Hertfordshire.. Some really nice towns and villages there if you have a few quid of course.

OneTeamInBristol Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I frequent that forum quite a bit as have a colleague who is a Luton fan and every single time I go on there I think this is what a website would look like if you explained it to an alien over the phone and they tried to recreate one.

That takes some beating. Stayed in a hotel there once overnight before getting a very early flight to Rome. Was on the ground floor (cheap room to be fair) and pretty sure someone tried getting in the window through the night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was either being used as overflow for homeless people or refugees, but either way it wasn't a suitable hotel to leave the car at. We paid for airport parking instead and got the money back from the travel company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
