Luton fans are used to rival fans mocking Kenilworth Road and its famous Oak Stand - but it could be a Premier League ground next season Kat_Lucas_ speaks to the supporters out to defend their home of 118 years
If Luton go up, CEO Gary Sweet has estimated it will cost around £10m to make the necessary renovations to meet the minimum requirements of a Premier League stadium.
“To be honest I take it [fans laughing at Kenilworth Road] as a compliment. People that mock it normally haven’t been,” says Ian Robertson, part of the “We Are Luton Town” fan group, who travels to games all the way from York. “Most of us will just let it wash over and politely remind fans in the Premier League that we have hosted every single one of them before. It doesn’t matter how you enter a stadium; it might be old, ragged and in need of some real TLC, but you won’t find a stadium with a better atmosphere. When it’s good, that old girl rocks. I’d rather have that every time.”
“It is highly unfortunate for Luton Town and their loyal fans that shortly after the FA regulatory commission reached its decision the Football League quite separately imposed a 20-point deduction for entirely different actions by the club.” “I truly believe the promotion from the Conference set the foundation for us to be competing at such a high level today.”
