It's great to have stadiums and changing rooms like this for the big cubs to visit, bring some of their pampered players back down to the real world. All the best Luton, your loyal fans and workers.

[@purplesprigs]

Will there be enough space for Man United to bring along their hairdressers, manicurists, pedicurists and makeup artists?

[@danielsimpson607]

Most away rooms are crap in the prem already

[@74_pelicans]

​@@danielsimpson607watch some of the tours of the stadiums, they are elite

[@chadchadderton]

never understood this argument tbh... most players come from relative "poverty" and they spend as much time on the road at subpar facilities than they do in their own "pampered" facilities anyways. the argument you made is weirdly only ever made by casual supporters of the sport... odd...

[@finbar3660]

Nice to see Luton getting their place in shape. For their first foray into the Prem, it'll be worth it and visiting teams only need to know where the pitch is.

Wish Luton nothing but the best, I remember when my team came up the first time (Bournemouth) everyone thought we'd go down right away stayed for 5 seasons anything is possible.

[@welcome2mytruth]

Incredible work by all. Massive well done to the contractors and the neighbours for daily trucks, noise and construction work. If we stay up or go down, the money has been life changing for the club and the board will invest it to secure the clubs future. COYH!

World class video. Props to the team that made it. Loved the musical number in the middle, the candid interviews, the nostalgic nod to the past. Luton are a proper cinderella story, the stuff most of us dream of (or try and replicate in FM).

As a lifelong Luton fan it’s great to see so many positive comments on the old girl and our club in general, I hope every visiting fan appreciates for what it is, having said that I hope a lot go home disappointed with their result, we’ll miss the Kenny when it’s gone.

As a Watford fan who lived in Luton in the 70's and used to watch them in the old First Division at the Oak Road end I wish them all the best and hope they stay up.

As a Man United fan I wish all the best for Luton. Really do hope they stay in the Premier League.

[@jagenv]

I am an arsenal fan and i cant wait to see how our players handle an away trip there. This is why we have to protect our football pyramid and never have a super league !

[@claytonmars7355]

I remember being at Wembley when Luton beat Arsenal in what I think was then the Carling cup final (1988), I'm an Arsenal fan and was in the Luton end at 17 years old. I didn't like them much after that but, over time I grew to like them thanks to a friend. Now I'm really happy for them and their fans. They deserve this and it's a great story.

[@tdyerwestfield]

Liverpool have been constructing a new stand at Anfield for the last 26 months, it currently sits incomplete without any work being done to it due to the collapse of the construction firm building it 3 weeks ago. Luton have managed to build a new stand ready for the PL in 90 days.

Might be something to do with the company building it going bust......but don't let the truth get in the way.

@@markcf83 Literally said exactly that.

[@maxmel1778]

People don't understand how quickly this was built. Fulham have been building the Riverside stand since 2019 and its still not completely open yet

[@ethaneastwood3130]

@@rotimioyemade8179much smaller project tho

[@jr.3308]

Even though they'll probably go down, using that PL money to improve facilities will go a long way for the club's growth and player, youth development. Better use of resources than buying 12 new players hoping to stay up (yes, I know Nottingham did it last year).
