Luton – Worst Team, Best Team, Biggest Ground, Smallest Ground

Interesting to see, on social media, how everybody likes to belittle our little club.

While several can recognise what a magnificent achievement if has been, for a club on such a small budget, to finish third in the EFL Championship and reach the play-offs, others, take a great sense of achievement in hoping we fall at the next step.

Surfing the net, I came across the following post:

You’d be the worst team to ever get promoted if you somehow manage it. Sunderland will absolutely maul u though so u won’t

Must have taken the writer all of 30 seconds to vent his feelings, perhaps we should remind him, as I pointed out in an article published last week – a-tough-task-awaits-us – the two games between the two clubs, this season, have been very tight:

• Luton Town 1 Sunderland 1
• Sunderland 1 Luton Town 1

Indeed, many will claim that in the fixture at The Stadium of Light, the Hatters were deprived of a win courtesy of an appalling penalty decision awarded by the referee, resulting in Sunderland getting an undeserved equaliser.

However, one post did catch my attention, for a completely different reason, when it was pointed out:

It will be the smallest stadium club V the biggest stadium club in the playoffs

Since when did size matter?

Like I’m always telling the wife, better to have a diamond than a brick!

Like someone pointed out to me, over the weekend, Bournemouth’s ground has a capacity of only, circa 600 more than our quaint old ground.
