How can anyone here not be jealous of Luton’s position? Blimey. It’s incredibly moronic to turn your nose up at them because we are in a more privileged location - they’re in the premier league! Forget knocking them, we need to learn from them.

The real question is whether we even want to go up to the Championship when we could wait a couple more years and be really ready

Ffs I've taken the bait and if that's the case I may as well cancel my ST and hopefully when it's time drift back in a couple of seasons or so and leave the supporting to everyone else whose ambition is as low as the old Osler road roof.

COYY'S

I'm jealous of Plymouth. Of Brighton. Brentford too.

If you're not jealous you're not paying attention.

It's healthy to want more from your club and to be envious of those who get it from theirs.

Up to the owners Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and the management team.

They’ve just had better management and recruitment
 
Why have the finals been Championship, L2 then L1?

I thought in the past it was L2, L1 and finish with the Championship….

And a board that understands where they’re at and how, if at all, they are going to be able to push through their current ceiling. Followed by good execution. Luton have had sustained success now for some time, it hasn’t always been represented by high league finishes because success for them 3 or 4 years ago was staying in the league. but they’ve outperformed their budget for a good while and built up to this. This is no fluke.

I thought the exact same, seems an odd way to do it. I thought the ‘most expensive game in football’ was always the last of the finals.
At least do it championship, league 1 then league 2.
 
I seem to remember some issue a few years back where the pitch was churned up a bit in the first two games which upset the precious PL teams to be, so they were given first go the following year.

Although why they didn't then go Championship, L1, L2 I don't know!

Right, would you be so effusive if it was Swindon? Also a plucky smaller club. A lot of people really dislike Luton!

Luton’s success hinges around their appointment of Nathan Jones but as you say the whole club management seem to have been focused on success, even though they’ve also got a new ground in the works.

I don't think it's the first time they've done it in this order.

No idea why.

Yes, absolutely.

Would I toast their success? Absolutely not. But that’s not the same as appreciating a club that just does the job properly and achieves something as a result. If they overtake us and get to the championship, it’ll be nobody’s fault but our own and I’ll hate it, but admire it.

Hoping Barnsley win today we're a bogey team for Wednesday where as Barnsley beat us twice this season

Barnsley is a dreadful place to go, all up and down hills to get to the ground, all nearby watering holes, are home fans only.

Having said that, Sheff Wed going up would make the league slightly weaker. Even though we’ve very nearly beaten them on all four occasions we’ve met since they dropped down to Lge 1.

I've drank in 4 different pubs when I've been to Barnsley, all near to the ground and had no issues getting in at all.
