Despite relegation and despite the shit aspects of the Premier League, I've had one of the most enjoyable seasons of my 27 years as a ST holder.
Every home game and ten away games attended - here are some of my personal highlights...

Newcastle (h)
Met this lad in Tokyo in the summer. His first Luton game was the play-off final. He's travelled all the way over here to attend games over Christmas. Today is his first time at KR!
P.s. if anyone has a spare ticket for Chelsea please give him (
@jsf0824

I don't even know if any of my tweets are read, but I need to document this somewhere so I can look back on it one day.
This is a quick story about football, my dad, and what the game on Tuesday meant to me.

Newcastle away. Without doubt, the best away weekend of the season.
Pre-match Popworld, the limbs when Adebayo slotted home the fourth and the most welcoming home fans and city.
Loved it and will miss not going back next season.

Up until a few years ago I'd attend all games with my dad. Recently he has become unwell, and can't attend many games.
One of the few games he did attend was Brighton at home, our best performance of the season. A really special night for several reasons.

Traveling to Japan and having

take me for a night out in Tokyo.
Kei is not a tourist fan, he's been a fan for years and attended games last season. He does great work promoting LTFC over there.
Really looking forward to welcoming him back to KR soon.

We will be at the final together and hopefully many more games at the Kenny / Power Court.

Final game of the season. In the end the result didn't matter much when the sun is shining, the beers are two for one and you start to get pangs of hope and excitement for next season.
It was nice to have a years holiday in the Prem, but back to the proper stuff now.

Everton away. What a day, in the pouring rain, watching us win our first Premier League game. The scenes at full time were incredible.
Stayed several nights in Liverpool for this one, will miss the away weekends in some of the big cities.

Forest away was one of my favourite away trips. Their home crowd was one of the louder ones this season but the away end absolutely went off when we got our second.
Was also the first time I managed to spot myself on MOTD!

Going on the closest thing to a Town European away day in Germany. Messy nights with Hatters in Dusseldorf and two games over at Bochum. Even convinced my wife to come to this one!
Praying for a similar trip this summer.

Our first ever Premier League game at KR. Still finding our feet at this point and were fucked over by VAR (surprise) at the end - but we were competing and holding our own.
Also, my seat of 27 years got changed from yellow to blue - thanks Gary!

Was out in Newcastle until the early hours, couldn't go ten minutes for a Toon fan approaching to say how impressed they were both with our team and our supporters. What a great city.
Also good to bump into

When in Tokyo I also met fan
@jsf0824
. He attended the Newcastle game, his first visit to KR. With the help of fans we also got him a ticket for Chelsea.
It was a pleasure to show him around and I sent him to the Brickies post-match, where he was well looked after!

I couldn't get a ticket for Bournemouth away, so watched at home. I won't forget the initial confusion and shock when Lockyer went down, then the unbearable anxiety waiting for news.
It was lovely to see him after his recovery at home games later in the season.

Always enjoyed 'welcoming' the bigger clubs to KR. I snapped this photo of the Man City busses making their way through Bury Park, after flying into Luton.
We certainly gave them a game that day and could have come away with something after leading at half time.

Tottenham away with

The best of the modern stadiums let down by an atrocious home support.
Plenty of our fans on the concourse enjoyed being 0-1 up at half time!

Lots of new grounds for me this year, including at Brentford. I imagine Power Court will have a similar feel in size to this.
On a related point, safe standing is so much better (and safer!) than regular seats. I'm sure PC will have plenty of provision for this.

Last away game of the season at West Ham. A shocker of a stadium and atmosphere (what's that dead bit between tiers?). I won't miss places like this.
Genuinely emotional at the end seeing the mutual admiration from players and fans.

Indulge me for a second here. Took a holiday to Maderia and attended a Nacional game at the top of a mountain.
Their fans welcomed us with beers and shots, and they loved hearing about Luton in the Premier League. The badge is recognised a lot further these days!

At this point I lose myself in the moment. I breakdown in tears as the emotion of the game and being there with my dad by my side, gets the better of me. The friends we made over the seasons, who had always checked how he was, are all there with us. It's the perfect moment.

However, whatever happens, I'm so grateful we had that night at the Kenny to experience one of the greatest games, together. It meant so much to me that we were both there, and I will never ever forget it.

My dad gets up to stand (he struggles to get up and stand since the surgery). He puts his arm round me. I put my arm round him. I can't explain the emotions.
Horvath launches the ball down field and the ref blows for full time. We've won.

Been a season ticket holder since '97, this has been my best year as a Luton fan. Highlights obviously Watford, Sunderland, Wembley, Everton, Newcastle.
But also meeting loads of fans on PL away days, in Bochum, even Tokyo.
And another year of games with my dad.
HNY Hatters!

I've supported Luton for 28 years and have been a season ticket holder for the duration of that time. Every season, every game I've attended with my dad. He's the one who introduced me to it. We've been through it all together with the club.

Ethan Horvath, Luton's 'keeper reaches out and catches the ball, holding on to it tight. The entire stadium cheer as if we've just scored a goal. Everyone is on their feet. We know we've done it. We're going to Wembley.

The play off semi second leg against Sunderland may be the most special night we've ever had at the Kenny. Luton reaching the final of the Championship play offs is an amazing achievement for the club. However this game felt even more special for me.

My dad recovered from the surgery, and although not quite the same as he was, he was fit enough to come back to games. This season (22/23), he has attended most games. It's been a fantastic season both on the pitch and having my dad back alongside me at games off it.

I actually had a whole weekend planned out in Plymouth, centred around the game on Saturday. Now not possible.
I'd support removing the 3pm blackout if this is the alternative that the EFL and Sky are pursuing.

We were in the last minute of added time, 3-2 up on aggregate and almost there. Sunderland are launching their last attack and float a cross into the Luton box.

The day following the game, after a year of recovery, my dad received news that the cancer had returned. Further treatment will be required and a long road lays ahead.
Naturally, I am devastated and angry that he has to go through all that all over again.

In all the 28 years of attending games, it was the best night we have ever had there. It truly was something special, and we now had the final to look forward to.

During the 21/22 season, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. He had to go through several rounds of chemotherapy and eventually had major surgery.

He didn't get to many games that season. Attending games without him was tough, I was fortunate enough that we had made friends with fellow season ticket holders around us. They would always ask after my dad and check he was doing OK.

It’s perfect. Astonishingly complex at a metaphysical level and does not concede an inch to pander to its audience. I can understand people wanting literal, plot driven answers but I guess the Frost books satisfy that.

If he red cards a Wolves player (who is then subsequently suspended for the game against Luton), Forest will be all over it.

No chance this is implementable at Kenilworth Road within a week 😂
EFL set to introduce Var technology for the Championship play-offs. With promotion worth around £195m, too much is at stake - response so far from the 6 clubs in contention has been overwhelmingly positive

I know I'm repeating what all others have said, this stadium is a huge contradiction.
Visually stunning, unique in design and you can get a beer within 2 minutes.
However, it is full of tourist fans with their phones and signs out all game. Makes for a terrible atmosphere.

Two weeks with no game, plan to fill that football sized hole with the following:
- Moaning about small Forest points deduction
- Hanging off Insta injury updates by Lokonga
- Moaning about not getting Tottenham ticket
- Moaning about not getting Arsenal ticket
Anything else?
