Luton Ground (3 Viewers)

[SkyblueDad]

They have to ground share to meet the rules. Is it 20k capacity?

Bournemouth capacity is about half that,

It's was a question.

it’s not relevant

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

But if they’d spent the money on the stadium they should’ve done, they wouldn’t have had the team they had. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have gone up. There are teams that have bent or broken the rules (e.g Derby) far more than they have. But in my view it could still be considered a form of cheating.

The changes only need to be made in the Premier League I thought? Why would they have spent before they got promoted?

Luton Town: Club's first Premier League home game postponed over stadium uncertainty - BBC Sport

Luton Town's first Premier League home game is postponed with the club unable to guarantee improvement works at Kenilworth Road would be completed in time.

The £10m work programme includes the construction of a new stand to meet broadcast and media requirements.

In the past teams haven’t been able to climb the football pyramid if there ground isn’t ready by the time the season they would be promoted ends

Yeah stinks of double standards.

Hasn't that mainly been about seating and safety standards though, for non league teams into League Two etc?

I feel another "fight club" in the offing.
Who's reffing this one?

That's a difficult one though isn't it because they are in it and the ground isn't compliant.

I think the difference is a ground doesn't meet criteria and a team can't rectify it.

Then there is ground doesn't meet criteria, team are rectifying it but may not be finished until two or three weeks into the season.

Two totally different scenarios, can some of our fans grow up please.

No they can't meet the criteria as far as we know although they might get the pitch ready

Honestly, who cares , especially our fans after this seasons debacle

We've got a suspended sentence - and we were lucky to get that, we might well have lost points and missed out on Wembley

Sound .. Luton get one too and then nobody cares and life goes on

 

[Skyblueweeman]

And the first game there was at reduced capacity as well. Though I think the club actually got some money off the council for that in the form of a rent reduction.

We were only allowed 23k weren't we?

 

[procdoc]

After some of the shit we’ve pulled (playing ‘home’ games in Northampton, Birmingham, Burton). Not having a playable pitch etc. we should not be criticising Luton’s ground issues

 

[clint van damme]

there's been some incredible takes on this forum recently, even compared to it's usual mentalism they've been quite something.

Yeah but some weird, bitter little bed wetting girl still can’t seem to stomach the fact we lost the final. It’s so embarrassingly baffling, it really is.

There’s quite a few on here that need a massive comedown from whatever they’re on.

What a small minded thread

It’s just plain weird some of the takes I’ve seen on here

 

[Sick Boy]

Yes but they still don't meet the regs

We couldn’t play at home for 3 games when the CBS was built - I don’t see the difference, Fair play to them as well, they’ve got there on merit without spending anything like a lot of other clubs.

I was saying it well before we got into the playoffs. It’s just a frustration on how the league is run. So many inconsistencies and this is another one.

Friday night plans:

1) Go out for a few beers
2) Get frisky with the missus
3) Watch a good film
4) Have an argument on Sky Blues Talk about the Luton Town stadium

Take your pick.

People need to take stock.
We lost they won.

Hope they get it sorted they have had loads of shit in their time, hope they have a good ride, they deserve it.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Yeah stinks of double standards.

Not really they’ve usually got so long to get up to scratch. Fulham had to play at loftus road when they first got promoted as craven cottage had terracing if I recall. It also can’t have undersoil heating which is also a requirement.

this really is a non argument.

Go on then...

I'll get frisky with your missus...

 

[shmmeee]

Eh the Ricoh stadium wasn’t ready when we first played there and we couldn’t play the first game at home

Was it postponed?

Have a few beers, get frisky doggy style with a good movie on the telly and SBT on your mobile

We played away

 

[Otis]

We played away

Which is also what Exmouth Neil seems to be intending to do with Earlsdon Skyblue's missus

 

[Warwickhunt]

They were told by the PL they could play their first 3 games away; same as us.

But did they get a points penalty suspended over them like we did???

 

[shmmeee]

We played away

So no then.

 

[Sick Boy]

I don’t recall us getting one when the CBS wasn’t finished on time.
