Two days before that I went to Leicester for a 1-1 draw, McGinlay again (they went up in play offs). One of those rare dull seasons of being nowhere near top or bottom. Remember that game vividly as my Nan had died the day before. We still went to the game and it caused warfare with my mum and dad Quote

FA Cup, big crowd for the time & I think we lost but there weren't many Luton fans still there to see it !!! We did lose the match. It was 0-1. Didn't go like clockwork for them though. Quote

Bit before my time but the Luton droogs took a pasting in the Devonport End in the 70s. Got a fair way in on shock value before the Dockyardies realised they were in eyeliner. Quote

BeeversLeftPeg Posted April 27 Posted April 27 First time watching Luton in a league game for me too. Can't see anything other than Stockport winning that game in hand so imagine we'll be 4th at kick off. In our hands and both us and Bradford up against teams with something to pay for makes it interesting. Fancy us to nick a win 2-1. Quote
woolli Posted April 27 Posted April 27 12 hours ago, Johnnyrotten said: We didn't play Luton in 96/97 in the league, we did play them in the FA Cup (6-2 at home after a draw away, it was probably the only time I've seen us in an FA Cup replay played on a Saturday). I saw us play Luton twice at home between 76 and 78, and once or twice early 80s all in Div 2. Any other times we've been in same league as them since 82? I watched Bolton beat Luton 4-2 in 1970, Terry Wharton hatrick, including 2 penalties, 1st or 2nd home game of the season, ended up relegated for the 1st time to the old 3rd division. Thats my first recollection of Luton. Quote
Ani Posted April 27 Posted April 27 We seem to be giving them more tickets. Not sure that is a good idea. Quote

Smaller followings shove them up in the upper and leave South lower for home fans. Quote

Johnnyrotten Posted April 28 Posted April 28 If anyone's in Lifeline, you can get 2 tickets at £10 each for this. It was a surprising pick given the other 2 were Exeter and Burton on a Tuesday. Very rare its a "big" game. Quote
masi 51 Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Hoping to see Bonham Tutu Toal Johnston Taylor Dempsey Simons Mcatee Apter Burstow Gale No subs unless injuries Subs from Christie Quote
BeeversLeftPeg Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Got to find the balance think they'll be a couple of changes but no overhaul, SS wants a finish of 3rd/4th for that home 2nd leg. Quote
masi 51 Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Wont be worth it if we get one injury or lose a player from a sending off.....And iles writing in the Bolton news that SS has a big call with Dalby Saturday is sheer stupidity Quote
masi 51 Posted April 28 Posted April 28 1 hour ago, BeeversLeftPeg said: Kenny would be a bigger loss than Dalby IMO. Agreed......Dalby needs a fortnight off, just light training and ready for the play-offs.....The team above has no chance of playing Saturday but i would like at least kenny and ACD rested Quote
