Took my nephew’s son to MK Dons away a few years back and still got the broken record ‘are we home yet?’ ringing around my head. ‘Long old poke’ as they say down these parts! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 20 minutes ago, Gimme Shelton said: All City indicators point to a win at highflying Luton and defeat at woefully out of form Swansea I’ll be absolutely amazed if this happens. Luton is effectively a free hit, we are filling our bench with kids at present & they are absolutely flying. We have struggled to get any sort of result there of late even when near to full strength, they are a relentless, physical outfit. Swansea are struggling & we have already drawn with them over 90 minutes three times this season. Far more likely the reverse to what you say happens. If we could get another point on Sunday I’d take that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Last 8 League games; Luton W4 D3 L1 Scored 8 Conceded 5 Pts 15 (4 clean sheets) City W4 D3 L1 Scored 8 Conceded 5 Pts 15 (4 clean sheets) However, we are bare bones squad wise and Luton have hit form in the last 4 games. I think it'll be a close game with Luton edging it, but wouldn't be overly surprised with a draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the parking around Luton is in the town centre car parks. Last time I looked you could still book a place in a nearby Sainsbury’s car park on just park.com. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 I’ve only been to watch City at Luton once, must have been about 20 years ago. A cramped and ramshackle little ground, but full of character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 I was going as I have a few days off but there’s a train strike on Thursday and no way of getting back on the same day. plus last time I went, 2019 it was up there with the worst away days, reminiscent of this season’s game at Birmingham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going either. Have done Luton twice recently, a night game and a 3pm and was a grim experience both times. Glad I went, but not for me this time.

Yeah it’s not somewhere you go to enjoy the delights of the town even if the football let’s you down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
