- Re: What first attracted you to Luton Town FC?
Welcome to the Main Stand, somewhere above the tunnel. The lights, the noise, the crowds! Aged 11, I'd never seen that many people in one place at one time. I was enthralled. Apart from the small Markyate contingent, everyone at my school in Hemel supported W*tford. I was quite happy being in the minority, especially after the promotions to Division 3 then to Division 2.
Three years later the family moved to Norfolk and I rarely saw a game.
When I moved to the East End I went whenever I had a Saturday free and the fixture looked interesting, which was not that often, maybe 3 or 4 times a season.
Then came the minus 30 season.
By about October I realised I may never again see league football at Kenilworth Road after that season. I started going regularly.
Relegation to non-League. "OK, we'll go straight back up. I'll support the club while we're in the Conference."
After a couple of seasons I realised I was totally hooked again and a season ticket was less than I'd been paying at the turnstiles. More than a decade later I am a season ticket holder at the Premier League club which will probably get the most press and media coverage come the afternoon of 12th August!
COYRRH!!!
