- Luton Town are just 90 minutes away from Premier League football. But this most importable ascent through the English football pyramid currently won't allow them to play games at their home of Kenilworh Road. We look at the reason why, and the possible solutions.

It actually happened, luton town won 6-5 on penalties, and in the Premier league for the first time ever AFTER getting knocked out the top flight of football in 1992, the year the Premier league started.
WE'RE BACK BABY!!!😀😃😄😁
It smells weird around here..
Oh wait, IT SMELLS LIKE PROMOTION 🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥
@@KalenRann Congratulations 😊🎉.
A Luton promotion to the Premier League would be the greatest story in football since Leicester City's Premier League win
Wimbledon winning the FA Cup. Greece winning Euro 2004.
@@johnmitchell2269 Those are long before Leicester's league win!
Well SV Elversberg got promoted to the 3rd German division last year. They will play in the 2nd after this year already🤯
A Leicester City relegation to the Championship would be the greatest story in football since Coventry City's F.A. Cup win in 1987. 🐘 PUSB
Wrexham a Welsh team making in to the English football league is bigger news than the rest. Jus sayin 👊
Plans have already been submitted to Luton Borough Council to adhere to all premier league stadium and media requirements. Half of this has already been approved and the board seem to be confident that this will be done before the season if indeed we do go up. We will be fine.
With the amount of money it will bring to Luton, they are gonna have everyone working on that stadium
They will probably go down the next season seeing how those extra monies would go into the stadium instead of buying quality players. Luton Town FC will be out of the prem soon even if this time they do get promoted. Coventry City is probably more suited to be in the prem than Luton.
@@jacoblau3795 Nevertheless, Luton still need to invest in a new stadium regardless where they are next season.
I am pretty sure its been approved, and will be ready for 24/25 season
Really hope you go up!
Luton's rise isn't so hard to understand if you remember that they were in the first division for a good few years and were a solid top flight club for the best part of thirty years until the early 1990s.
What WILL be wonderful, when they manage to get promotoed, is that they'll be the first club to go from the top flight to non-league and then back again.
I'm not a fan but the magic of that story is one to celebrate. Go luton!
While the early 90s might not seem like so long ago to some of us, they were last in the top flight over 30 years ago, before it became the Premier League and before the financial explosion. They were out of the Football League for five seasons and going from the Conference to the Premier League in only ten seasons is a ridiculous dream. The club was 20th in the Championship in wages up until January when they signed a player who makes 20% of their total payroll and three times as much as all of their other players save one. Without Nakamba and Horvath, their wage bill would be only about 35% more than Salford's.
Yes, they have a history, but I don't see how that makes much of a difference to their rise through the leagues. This truly is the kind of thing one would only expect in Football Manager or possibly a takeover by a super rich owner who pushes the limits of FFP.
the mentality of a club can stay even if the players are long gone.
ltfc only missed the first prem season by 1 point. oldham and swindon made it lol. look at them now.
i was 7 last time my club played top flight footy. i always see luton as a 1st/2nd division team and so do the fans
That is true but they have spent since the 90s as lower league club and also a season in non league ten years ago . . .better than Wrexham have done and minus the hype.
"Luton's rise isn't so hard to understand if you remember that they were in the first division for a good few years and were a solid top flight club for the best part of thirty years until the early 1990s."
No it doesn't, their rise is due to good management and shrewd recruitment, what happened years ago has no bearing on where they are today, they were literally in non-league far more recently.
@@aliencactus720 They were playing non-league football for four or five seasons and were promoted back to the Football League 10 years ago.
Both Luton and Coventry getting the chance to go up, is something you'd usually only see in fm decades in the future where the computer controlled teams might have found some sort of wonder kid, as a football fan I'm just happy to see that it's not the usual who yoyo between the Premier league and the championship.
It's a shame both can't go up. What a reward for both sets of fans after the trials and tribulations the clubs have endured.
Coventry were once one of the longest serving top tier teams. They'd been in the the old first division since the 60's up until relegation in 2001. 30 odd years. During that time Spurs, United, Citeh, Villa, Leeds, Chelsea and Newcastle had all been relegated. Only Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton have not been relegated in that time.
Or, you know, if you acknowledge that there was football before Sky, and discover that both teams have had decent spells in the top flight "relatively" recently (especially Cov). Agree, it's great to have one of them back, though. Cheers.
United
@@DudeSilad And Everton have a good chance of dropping off that list, and off the top flight, this weekend.
Seamus Dunne, who played at right-back for Luton in the fifties, came from my hometown of Wicklow in Ireland. He is to date the only person from the town to play for the Republic of Ireland. He died in 2016 aged 86, but he would have been thrilled that Luton are in the Premier League.
A lovely note, that.
I understand what the EPL wants, but think about those lifelong fans who live right there in the neighborhood and have stayed loyal to the team during down times and walked right to the games. How heartbreaking to see your team finally ascend if they have to move out of your spot!
Epl executive don't care about football, they only care about money
The low tier are British football are full of football fans, the premiere league is full of tourists in stadiums
Also gotta think about the crowd crush disasters that happened in the 80s, would really be heartbreaking if something like that happened again
@@minnesotafats6662 I feel like a lot of that can be mitigated, with the lessons in crowd control that have been learned since then (and were learned _from_ disasters such as the Hillsborough crush). For instance, it's even possible to build safe standing room, by putting up metal bars in rows so that each row of people can't creep forward into the next row's space (or, conversely, be pushed by the row behind them).
The area around the current ground is a right dump - So if they move to pastures new at least that'll change.
the stadium was sold to the council in the early 80s it' just taken 40 yrs to find money and a location
I support Kidderminster Harriers. When Luton were playing in the Conference against Harriers it seemed like a surreal anomaly - even the manager of the club at the time looked upon it as bizarre. The Conference is a difficult league to escape from when hunting for promotion. Luton's subsequent rise to the Championship (and Premiership?) is incredible and to be applauded.
"Kidderminster Harriers" sounds like a made up name 😂 Where is that?
@@Nippleless_Cage you are not locals if you don't know kidderminster
@@Nippleless_Cage Kidderminster is in the comparative backwaters of north Worcestershire between the Black Country and the Wyre Forest. Tourists come here to ride the Severn Valley Railway to Bridgnorth and back. Like Luton, the Harriers have gained promotion (but not the Premiership).
Time for a history lesson me thinks. Snobbery just is not a socially accepted trait. Go suck a zoob.😊😊
@@Nippleless_Cageer Kidderminster.
The ultimate underdog story!! The Premiership will just have to live with the reality!! I, for one, will be rooting for Luton Town, cheering for every point they get. It may be only a one year adventure, but the future is bright once they build their new stadium.
Not really underdogs, since they had it all and threw it away to begin with. Its more of a riches to rags to riches story. 😂
It would be great to see Luton Town play in the Premier League and play Premier League football at that ground of theirs. It would be a unique experience for the Premier League.
Also, given how commercial the PL feels nowadays it would be very welcome imo. Hope they still get their upgrades though
and they just did it, now they are going to upgrade a bit their old stadium to meet EPL standard and let all other EPL teams know what it feels to play at old school stadium...😅🤣
As an arsenal fan I hope luton get into the prem because I love old school stadiums
Good luck getting one of the 1000 away tickets!
@@SIRDKA City fans don't need luck for that one
@@SIRDKA 😂😂😂😂lmao
Highbury was my favourite old school stadium. The pitch seemed tiny
Brentford supporter here - I really hope Luton Town go up. Brilliant story. Come on you Hatters and COME ON YOU BEES!
Come on you bee's. I would love it if you pipped Villa to 7th.
Seeing the likes of Brentford, Brighton and Luton/ Coventry up there competing against established top flight teams such as Villa, West Ham and your "big six" makes things more interesting.
No disrespect to the likes of Boro, West Brom and Norwich but whenever they go up it doesn't have the same kind of excitement and feels as if we have watched this same show before.
@@MW-hk2on they won't
@Naples FC good to know
It's going to be a historical moment next year to be able to see Brentford-Luton Town as a *Premier League match*
As a Cov fan I have a lot of respect for Luton that they had to rebuild from the National League but at least their owners did not go to war with the local council and persuade the EFL that we would groundshare with Northampton and then Birmingham on a temporary basis as they would definitely be building their own stadium and then did nothing for 10 years before finally leaving this year. Our problems started from selling Highfield Road to build what was then the Ricoh but at least now we play in decent stadium even if it's owned by Mike Ashley (which is new chapter of what might go wrong next). If Luton deservedly win the final then I wish them good luck with resolving the stadium issues.
i see you cov fan. and as a ltfc fan i wish you luck. I've always had a soft spot for cov. you guys have had as much of a rollercoaster as we have.
i want to win so badly but it'll be so much easier to take if i get to see coventry city back in the prem. better than boro/sheff u/burnley/yoyo fc. and i loved highfield road, old school four sided building.
good luck for tomorrow cov fan!
North Staffordshire here, stoke fan, remember both teams in top division late 80s early 90s, hope Coventry go up, but big fan of mark stein from his days as a stoke legend. All best to both
a game of attrition it sure was. if hamer didn't get injured yous would have won that inside 90
Was so gutted Saturday but I wish Luton well and hope the sky blue have another chance soon! I’m a Coventry fan too and bearing so in mind what we have been though since 2001 never thought I would see us back in the big time. Fingers crossed for next season but think we will lose players!
@@mowvu5380 well done hope you stay up!
EPL can just use an old-school set rigs specifically for Luton's stadium. It would give a very unique feel to a very market-heavy and over-glamorous current state of the EPL, and they definitely can use Luton itself as a market piece.
Exactly, thats why Luton fans shouldnt be afraid of any ban because the EPL wants them to sort out their problems so they can sell the ''small club''
I don't care about their stadium issues, I just want to see them play in the prem.
Wasn't there the same issue when Bournemouth and Fulham got into the PL? Bournemouth forked out for the necessary stadium upgrade, Fulham played at QPR until work was completed at Craven Cottage. And remember Highbury had an entrance in the middle of a street of terraced houses and they played Champions League games there! I guess if they have to go down the M1 to Milton Keynes (or even Coventry!) for home games it might give the local council a prod to get the new stadium build moving.
I still can’t believe that either Luton or Coventry are gonna be in the prem next season 😲
Top tier stalwarts 30 years ago Luton and Coventry. I honestly never would of expected Brigton and Bournemouth to be PL 25-30 years ago.
Coventry were in the Premier League for almost the first dacade. Think it was 2001 they were relegated. Still a surprise when you look at the horror show they've had to endure in those two decades, but still less so than Luton which has been worse.
Coventry were in England's premier league for 40 years; only Everton and Arsenal could beat that at the time. I think they had the first all seater stadium as well.
@@MW-hk2on I remember Carlisle getting to the top as well.
Liverpool were also top flight for all of that time.
I like the attention this has brought to Luton Town, but a similar situation happened last season in Welsh Leagues where Llantwit Major were denied a place in the Welsh Premier Division due to the ground
Only the EPL would not let them play at their home ground. La Liga let a team play in their 4,500 seat stadium and it made for great atmospheres when the big guys come in to play.
Only Russian Premier League can do it😂 teams with bad stadiums (lower than 10k)don't allowed in top level and in relegation play-off if they end season in second division on 1-4 places. Also it's impossible to move at good arena if it not located in your region😮. For example, Alania Vladikakaz can't play in Grozny in Rpl, but Rodina Moscow can play at any Moscow stadium in case of promotion
i believe Bundesliga wouldn't let them either, if i recollect correctly they'd need a capcity of 15000 although it doesn't have to be seated
SD Eibar had issues after winning the Segunda Division outright to make La Liga due to the small size of their financial accounts at the time. Other parts of the terms of promotion involved expanding Ipurua over 5,000 capacity, (now at 6000 seated and 8000 when including standing).
Huesca followed behind them into La Liga with a similarly microscopic although somewhat bigger stadium.
Edit: In fact, it has caused a few upset draws and even an Eibar home win as the environment is counterintuitive to players used to Champions' League packed noisy stadiums to be in a packed but rather quiet stadium due to the club historically being a 2nd or 3rd tier side in a small city of 30K.
I can't think of a worse recipe for atmosphere. 😂
@@rockerfarm6445 if it was no seats, Luton ground can hold 30 000 and has in the past. before the seats.
From a Burnley fan, I am wishing you the best for tomorrow. The Premier League needs more real grounds and real teams.
Very interesting. Would you be able to do some analysis as to whether FFP has stagnated league promotion and relegations? Is mobility less now that it was before FFP came in? Luton Town's story is a great one, but I wonder if stories like this (apart from the broadcast requirements) weren't more common 20 years ago. Has FFP, though well intentioned, just made the bigger clubs grips on premiership places even tighter? Keep up the great work, loving these videos.
🤔 that's actually a really interesting idea
@@FourFourTwo Thanks, looking forward to seeing what you find!
FFP was never well intentioned. It was written by the huge clubs to prevent smaller clubs from spending money.
FFP wasn't "well intentioned" 🤨
this would be a dream come true for those homeowners if Luton where not already set to build a new stadium. They could have held out for a crazy price from the clubs owners, now they'll be lucky to get a housing development in their back yard.
Thanks for this one 🙂👍
Learning bout Luton and being entertained at the same time 😁👌
I'm Subscribing.
Luton could play in the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Spurs don’t ever use that for football these days.
Bosssssh
👒👒👒
Class!
I mean, I get the recent rise is impressive from the low they'd fallen to, and Kenilworth Road is a small old ground but they're not the tiny club they've been made out to be. They're a bigger club than Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton. They've won a major trophy and have played more top flight football in their history than any of those clubs.
That's like saying Wrexham is bigger than Bournemouth, Brentford, and Brighton. It was true 40 years ago, but it's just a lie today. Football fans who worship at the altar of "history" are, at best, stuck in the past. At worst, delusional.
Yeah, but that's historical. They were a good club, but that doesn't really affect them apart from their fans and perhaps some aspects of their mentality. Otherwise, they seem to be undeveloped even for a club that was in the top flight 30 years ago.
I mean, if you want to feel how long it is, consider the case of Newcastle over the last 30 years, who were rubbish at the start of the 90s, brilliant and even beating Barcelona around 95/96, coming 11th around 2000, getting Champions League again in 2002, getting relegated in 2009, getting Europa League in 2012, getting relegated in 2016, now getting Champions League again. And they've been a rather stable club, not faced any financial issues, not exceeded themselves that much. They've been considered average for years now. And all that's happened. Now imagine you've been doing similar but two divisions lower and you'll see that ultimately it doesn't make much difference where you were 30 years ago compared to where you were 5 years ago or even 2 or 3 years ago.
@@kjn3350 Good comment 👍
MK Dons stadium is virtually unused. They haven't played football there for years.
I feel like they should move a temporary stadium from Qatar to Luton
Or play home games in Qatar 😂
Similar demographic between Qatar and Luton to be fair.
Its an absolute disgrace that T.V. money talks and the club could get punished for having a great team. Well done Luton
Remember them late 50s..had a great goalie ..Ron baynem..played for England
Dear Adam,
Canny video as always👍
An away trip to Luton would be interesting purely from a historical perspective👍😎
Regards
Holy crap I knew that voice was familiar! Been out of the loop with his work at WhatCulture, didn't know he worked here now.
That voiceover sounds very familiar, seems like i may be subscribing to FourFourTwo! Great work Clery.
This is beautiful history in the making and it is why we love football. If only it was possible for the big team of the epl to donate maybe 1 million each to help Luton meet regulations standards as a form of complements to what they have historically achieved.
Just something they can do to show support and welcome them to the big stage.
Welcome back to the topflight Luton
Been watching you since the Brian Stein days...
The nerves were wobbling for me yesterday....
AlltheBest... CapeTown SouthArica
The key is always good management and clearly Luton has top bras that knows what they're doing I wish them luck
They only missed the premier league by one year, they were in the old first division at that ground, so I think they should be allowed to use it. The TV broadcasters managed before, so I don't think that's a good excuse. It gives the few away supporters allowed in a good laugh, I still remember when I went there, many years ago, it looks exactly the same now😂
Same with Notts County. That was a very long time ago though.
Yes but that was 1992. A lot has changed since then. Equipment has gotten bigger and they also have to accommodate VAR cameras now.
They also had one of the first plastic/artificial pitches in the UK as well, if my memory is correct (did QPR have one too back in the day?)
@@secla_SC They think they can do it for £10 million, would be better than West Ham, where they have to use a telephoto lens to see the pitch😂
That was 30 years ago mate. Times have changed, standards have gone up, the bar is higher than it was in 1992.
Only seems yesterday I saw Luton were in the Conference and wondered how they got there. Well, they're in the Premier League now and Wrexham now know this isn't an impossible dream.
i'm here after luton got promoted
Here after the game 💪🏾💪🏾🧡🧡
A lot of teams spent money bringing stadiums up to scratch after the Taylor report, this ground was barely suitable for the football leageue 30 years ago
Brilliant go on Luton Town ,a used to go my holiday to see my family who lived marsh farm from Glasgow ,class
As a cov fan I am heartbroken but respect to Luton what a team
I love a good old fashioned ground. Can't all be generic bowls next to the out of town shopping area!
Congrats Luton you deserved to win that. By far the better team.
10-ish years ago Luton was in the National League just like Wrexham. They are the real Cinderella story and did it without attention and two Hollywood owners.
Difference is they were only there for a short time.
Nothing, absolutely nothing is ever straightforward for Luton FC. They must have the most remarkable history in the league, esp the past 40. Even reading a brief summary of it is enough to make your head spin.
I’ve been to Kenilworth Road before, it’s a real experience. I’m glad Luton are back in the top flight
That Oak Stand entrance, woooaa what a charmer.❤
It's probably a good idea for the terraced houses to start loft conversions with their own raised seating you would get a better veiw
SD Eibar had similar issues with La Liga, just needing to generate a massive sale of new stock to meet La Liga's financial regulation and stadium upgrades to Ipurua although no capacity upgrades required with promotion.
I'm a carlisle fan ,,, so feeling your anxiety at the moment,,, for me would be great to see either return to top flight ,, Coventry and Luton are 2 great stories and instills the belief that carlisle can return to top flight ,, good luck both just unfortunate only one of you are going up ,,, .
I remember when Carlisle briefly led the old First Division, topping every other club in the country. Halcyon days.
I think this will do the EPL some good, and show the rest of the world that not all football is played in glitz and glamour of big modern stadiums.
No it wouldn't, no one wants to spend hundreds to sit in a stadium that looks worse than a sunday league stadium
"Stuff like that doesn't go unnoticed, Neil."
Can't get a more perfect clip than that. LOL
I don't mind who wins the Championship playoff final this year. Either team would be a joy in the PL, but everyone likes the plucky underdogs don't they. Stadium MK might actually get used for what it was built for.
Also shoutout to Coventry City who were also in League Two with Luton at 1:33 for getting to the same spot as Luton, and being their opponents in the playoff
As much as I think you should congratulate the efforts of the existing hierarchy at Luton Town I kind of LOVE the idea of a big name manager taking them over and seeing what he can do. Brendan Rodgers or Graham Potter kind of thing.
Congratulations to Luton Town for writing such a heroic story🎉✨
Arsenal's Highbury Stadium had an entrance which was a door wedged into a row of houses.
That’s why they got a new stadium
yeah, 17 years ago...
Holy they just promoted to Premier League
I hope they can do it today. I wish them the best!
Its gonna be a bit of a culture shock for the big earners in the top 6 going down to luton innit? 😮
Interesting piece
As a kid It was exiting that SuperMac played for Luton and we were in Guiness book of records for most goals in one match .This is just another brilliant quirk COYH
Good for Luton to get in the premier league. Its worth it sharing the ground to see Luton play in the prem for me maybe. Just hope the board use the time and money for the new ground. I did hear about new ground on this.
Coventry V Luton - a real 90's feel. I went to see my team, Grimsby there years ago. Looks the same. You can actually see in people's windows.
Id love to know what shenanigans required building a wall of the ground out of houses.
This is as someone who roots for a team where the stadium couldn’t get funding, but they could to build a dormitory, so they built one in the shape of a stadium end.
This aged well😊
⚠VIRGIN ALERT⚠
The Luton town stadium may be far from world class, but I hope they get to keep it as long as possible. Seeing the shiny new glossy state of the art stadiums named after airlines and car companies and insurance companies that can seat 75,000 people and don’t reflect the clubs past just isn’t what soccer is all about.
I really would love to see this 🙂
1:03 If you look at the latter two images, you'll find out that both were from the matches against Northampton Town in the 2007/08 season, when both clubs were in League One.
Just pointing out something that piqued my interest in particular...
Best of luck, Luton. For what it's worth, this yank is cheering for ya.
I feel like a lot of us Yanks are probably cheering for them, with Ethan Horvath and all.
this backfired😂
Luton are in the premier Cmon 🎉
Come on Luton from a toon fan, would love to see you do it
Have a look in Portugal CF Os Belenenses 5 promotions in a row, now in the 2nd league. One more promotion and they'll be the only club in the world with 6 promotions in a row, and also being promoted from the last to the first league in a country.
Watched this video on a whim, wasn't expecting Adam Clery!
I watched Luton play Gillingham many moons ago, back when they had the likes of Ian Feuer & Ceri Hughes.
This happned to southend in the 80's we could not get in leauge 1 because the ground was too small but we just missed out anyway.
Horray for binley mega chippy! That's in coventry. I used to live by it.

@@IssacLHunt yuh mudda
If the club has done it on the pitch over the last few seasons it's a failure of the club not to invest on the infrastructure to keep up
I’m from Luton and I am so happy
That would be harsh if they got promoted but then were not allowed due to their ground.
Definitely not harsh.
Look at their stadium...its a absolute dump!
Probably rat infested too.
And I'm being nice with that description.
I'm surprised any matches are staged there.
They would ground share at worst
Would never happen
@@-_Blitz_- It's happened to other teams before at different levels of the footballing pyramid.

Problem solved.
The FA can FO.
I remember when they were in the old first devision. Blackpool had the same problems with their stadium but somehow managed to sort it before the season started.
I can feel Eric's smile🙏👍💪💯🇬🇧🤩🎭
Haha you sure Come On Luton❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
‘gluttonous top table’. I really like this. If we step back and think of the owners as Augustus Gloop and pals or Tweedledee and Tweedledum it all makes a lot more sense…
dawg this reminds me of Südtirol in Serie B theyre in the promotion playoffs rn and their stadium is even smaller 😂
Congratulations Luton
All the very best in the Premier League
And they ascended to the premier league. What a season they’ve had 🙌🏽
Hello, from Brazil. Congratulation to Luton Town Premier League promotion.
One question.... Why don’t Luton Town send their game to Wembley? As you can see at EFL final Luton Town can at least fill 50% of the stadium. And the stadium could have at least 80% to 90% full, with supporters, other teams fan and tourists all from the world?
All the best for 2023 and 2024 season.
It's gonna be cool seeing Pep and the boys come to this stadium in a Man City Plane that's worth more than the Stadium.
Welcome to the premiership LUTON 7,50 pm u just won love West Ham ⚒⚒⚒
Bit disrespectful parts of this video. How cool is going to football in older stadiums!
More like this please 🙏🏼
Everyone is going to miss he old school stadiums when they don’t exist
Dont care what anyone says, Lunton shouldn't have to get a new ground and anyone who wants to come see their home matches against the teams they are traveling for should deal with the fact they have a small place.
it would be disgusting to have them leave their home like West Ham did
I live in Luton 13 years of hard work for this game
I love Kenilworth Road
They may need to ground share stadium mk would be the best option for home and away fans to get to watch them in the Premiership spending £10 million on improving Kenilworth rd to then move in a few seasons is silly i think the stadium mk option is the best option
Absolutely, there's no sense at all wasting all that money on Kenilworth, and then losing all that gate money to boot. But this is Luton Town FC, so of course they'll stubbornly take the worst business decision available, and tell the rest of the world they dont care - why change the habits of the last 40 years. 😂 Good luck to them though, amazing achievement, I hope they can stay up.
@Ben W I'm an arsenal fan but I'm happy for Luton well done great achievement
I once made a wrong turn while shopping in Luton and came face to face with the wall of the stadium
Imagine having to go to luton to watch a pl game lol
I'm from the future... Luton did indeed qualify for the Premier league in 2023 but unfortunately were dropped back to the Championship in 2024 were they still remain to this day.
They better stay up for a few seasons if they want to make their new ground viable.
Its hard to imagine that either Luton or Coventry are goingeto be in the PL. Although im sure that either pf them would relegate imidiately. This kind of progress isnt even "realistic" for FM or Fifa career
Hmmm. Pretty sure Southampton, Leicester, Leeds and Everton were thinking something similar this time last year......
I give em' 5 decent(ish) seasons, then Yo-yo club from then on in. Which, considering the circumstances, isn't too bad....😉. Congratulations to Luton, shows that it can be done.
