This Saturday, Luton Town welcome Forest Green, to Kenilworth Road, for a League Two fixture.
But, it is no ordinary League Two fixture.
On Saturday, the Kenilworth Road faithful will applaud those who have done their bit in ensuring the Hatters have achieved promotion to League One, taking a step nearer to achieving their ambition of playing in the Championship before not too long.
One person who is likely to get a huge reception is the Hatters manager, Nathan Jones.
Jones, in his first managerial role, has done marvels in getting the Hatters promoted and his contributions were recognised, by the board, earlier this year when he agreed to a contract that will tie him to Kenilworth Road until 2022.
But, having achieved success, there is always the worry that another club will come in with an approach for Nathan.
Thankfully, it appears that Nathan has no desire to leave the Hatters and in an interview with BBC Look East, an interview covered by the BBC, has remarked,
“I’m very proud of the work we’ve done and what we have here and I don’t envisage myself being anywhere else.
“You can’t say what’s going to happen but I’m not looking to move.
“I have a wonderful job here, have a wonderful board, a wonderful set of fans and a great set of players.”
There’s always uncertainty in the football management game, but in pledging his allegiance to the Hatters, Nathan further added,
“I’m so proud of what we have achieved and I want to take this club further, I really do.
“I’m not a fly-by-night club-to-club jumper, I want to build something, I want to leave a legacy here.
“We’re one stage into that and there’s a long way to go before I’m able to do that.
“But we’re in a wonderful place and I’m very proud of the work we’ve done, so it would take something special for me to leave any of that behind.”
Fine words from a fine manager.
