Got a mate who works up the airport. Couple of players there last week, mate says to one of them "thanks", player says "nobody's leaving, we love it here".
True story.
I actually mean TRUE STORY.

A lot of people don’t get Luton Town, let me enlighten you:
74/75, the season is finished, apart from one game which is played on the Monday after the last Saturday. It’s Spurs v Leeds. Spurs fighting relegation against the best team in the land.

@IanDunt
I think my vote to leave was for valid reasons (I'm not racist or a little Briton) but knowing now what I know now would definitely vote remain.
You can’t kick us when we’re down anymore, because we refuse to be down. Because we are Luton Town. Because we are Luton Town, and we are staying up.

Something stirs again (and again) at
@LutonTown
. That confidence, that belief. We do it the right way. "League 2" players doing it for fun. Look at the body language, look at the smiles, look at the togetherness. Breathe in the love. So happy to be alive.
@dcfcofficial
Derby fans: mobilise. It's YOUR club, nobody else's. Get organised, take back what's yours. Accept that the next few years are going to be hard, but plan further ahead. And don't ever let chancers through the door again.
I swear, I absolutely fucking swear, if Pelly had scored a late winner today, I'd have arranged my funeral and said my goodbyes. There's nothing more life could offer.
I don't mind admitting it, lockdown has been hard, hardly seen any friends or family, my dad is in the L&D, don't miss the football; miss going to the football, that Kaz goal today has me weeping, it's so Luton. See you all on Wednesday.

And another thing, the shit that Hashi is getting on here is bang out of order. He's bought into us from day 1, he's one of us. We've thrown him in at the (very) deep end, but he's never hidden, never shied away. Some of our supporters should take a leaf out of his book.
We've been singing it for 12 years now, the flag is still on display at Kenilworth Road. No other supporters gave a fuck. Luckily we don't bear a grudge, but hope that fans of other clubs look at how we rebuilt, and take that on board. ALSO; join your supporters' trust.
When did our league 1 club become so entitled? Our fan base on twitter tonight is embarrassing. Remember who we are and where we've come from. Show some fucking humility. We're still the best run club. The division we play in is almost irrelevant. WE HAVE A CLUB, THE BEST CLUB.
So the final acts unfurl:
1. EPL say Forest deduction remains.
2. Luton draw at West Ham, Forest lose to Chelsea.
3. Luton beat Fulham, Forest lose at Burnley.
4. Luton stay up on 30 points due to Forest's deduction.
5. Oh the fucking irony.....
You know when the players ran towards the KR end and jumped in joy? It was Sonny Bradley who got that together. I don't know how long he's got left at Luton, but that was a magnificent gesture from a magnificent player, integral to our rise.
Luton supporters, get a fucking grip. Last season we were making the same mistakes but the opposition weren't good enough to take advantage. Were you expecting a third promotion?
@GBSuffolk
Indeed we did believe in freedom; freedom of (our) movement as we colonised and imposed ourselves on half the world. You presumably still agree with freedom of movement.
At half time yesterday, for the first time, I thought we were already down. For the next 43 minutes we (crowd and team) were magnificent. Of course we're staying up! The big games start next Saturday.
#TTASU
Quite honestly we need to get a fucking grip. Here we are in the top division of football and, yes, today we had a shocker. And when I say "we" I mean "we". It's us, it's our club. We live and die together.
Today is the 50th anniversary of my first
@LutonTown
game, at home v Orient. Been on a ride no other club can match! And d'you know what? This season is the BEST EVER! See you in Bristol.....
23/24, and here we are, the best run club in the Premier League, everybody on side. The nobody no-nothings will question our ambition, but fail to understand we’ve already achieved our ambition.
18.
I reckon all these entitled "Ross Barkley didn't personally clap me" are the same people who didn't rate Pelly in the Conference, then League 2, then League 1, then the Championship, now the Premier. YouTube podcasting me me me nobodies.
👏 The highs. The lows. The injuries. The promotions. The laughs. Thank you Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, Pelly, Pell, DJ P-Rudz. A huge congratulations on making 200 appearances for the club.

Home from the football.
HOME FROM THE FOOTBALL.
I can't describe what this bunch of League 1, League 2 , Championship and written-off world beaters have ALREADY achieved.
The Town Are Staying Up.
The fucking Town are fucking staying up.
AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA BELIEVE US.
Lots of Luton supporters losing their shit tonight. We're ahead of schedule. The new ground is ever closer. Fuck off if you think that losing at home to Cardiff is going to ruin the rest of your life. Fuck off with your petty lives and don't ruin mine.
@ChrisGPackham
First time I saw The Clash: as a fifteen year old in January 1978. Still the greatest night of my life. Came home cut, bruised and bloodstained. But I knew that was it. For life.
I remember being gutted when we let Scott Cuthbert go to Stevenage a few years ago, but, oh man, Luke Berry.....
Some lucky club will be getting a real gem.
In the time Wenger has been ar Arsenal,
@LutonTown
have lost in 4 play offs, won a cup, been deducted 1000 points, and yet our supporters are happier than Arsenal's. Funny ol' game.....
The replies to this from Luton supporters is sickening. It didn't work out at Luton, but the bloke is a professional footballer, that places Jervis miles ahead of YOU. I've never heard him moaning about your performance on the tills at Wilko.

It's a brilliant place. It has the largest collection of independent shops in the UK. The football club is in the middle and supports, and receives support from, the local community. It's vibrant. I've lived and worked in Bury Park, an essential part of Luton.
So, we probably lost 1-0 today. No complaints. But I can't accept the officiating. Oh it's little Luton, better give Harry Wilson everything.
Really really poor from the ref. Tell me I'm wrong.
I'm yer average middle aged white bloke. Today is my 57th birthday. I've been out and had a few pints in our ever diminishing pubs. Taxi driver refuses payment because it's my birthday and they know me. I'm in tears.
Hoping I'm not a bit premature here, but a lot of these established Championship teams don't seem to have the heart and soul that
@LutonTown
have. Namby pampy pro soccer stars earning top dollar against street fighting men.
Two Toms on my timeline, one an absolute grifting racist cunt, the other Luton Town's captain.
The day will come when we finally get rid of the racist.
So today we said a final farewell to my dad. It was a relief. A final relief and release. He had a beautiful singing voice and used to sing this to my mum. It's been 14 years since she left us (she's never left us). I'm glad that he's happy once again.
Mostly today I'm remembering the time when the
@FA
and the
@EFL
thought fit to throw us out the league. We won the JPT Trophy on the way out, just because we could, and in our renaissance we won the European U-11 Cup.
Next season you'll wish you'd have killed us.
@uglygame
English football died last night. A Premier club refuses to play its first team, the manager refuses to manage, and VAR kills the dream of a smaller club. Football HAS eaten itself.
Very real thought of the day: Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, who signed for Luton Town whilst in the Conference, will play for Luton Town in the Premier League. He is the heart and soul of the club.
The difference? The difference: Blackburn let Amari Bell leave with no regrets. The difference? Luton Town do their homework and know Bell is a fantastic player and (and this is the thing) personality. Look how he's flourished at Luton.
Sunday morning reflections. Thank you
@nufc
and your city and people. Haven't been here since 1966 (it's a family thing.....), also to
@LutonTown
and our supporters. We ALL walk away heads held high.
Tomorrow
@PellyRuddock
is your day. Just run at them. Seize the moment, you'll petrify them. No fear, no worries. We're all behind you, we all love you, do it for us.

I've seen my club
@LutonTown
lose 3 FA Cup semi-finals. Getting to the final is the one thing I really want to see. Winning would be an added bonus!
Next season Hatters, next season.....
Leeds roll over and admit they wanted Spurs to stay up. The FL are delighted.
82/83, Luton win the last game of the season at Maine Road, staying up and sending City down. A result the footballing authorities were furious about.

Question for
@CapRegPLC
- why do you feel the need to employ Mr Nicholas Simon Philip-James Keable
@DevIntUK
to defeat the good townsfolk of Luton? Just what is your problem? You won't win, he won't win, Luton WILL win.
Just a quick reminder to my fellow
@LutonTown
supporters. This time last season we'd just lost at home to Swindon and were nestled in the bottom half of League 2.
After the game the Luton board signal their intent to move to Milton Keynes, a move the FA and FL were fully supportive. Rather a top flight club in MK than Luton. Fans group “Supporters of Luton Town 1983” formed.
