What a dramatic afternoon yesterday was as the Hatters clinched that vital Championship play-off.
As it turned out, courtesy of results elsewhere, involving Middlesbrough and Millwall, the Hatters didn’t need to beat Reading, in fact, but, thankfully, the only script the club rad involved winning the game to leave nothing to chance.
We may only have won 1-0 but the quirky winning goal, scored by Harry Cornick, will go down in Luton folklore, such was its eccentricity.
Understandably, the win was well received by the Luton support who visit social media, as te following posts illustrate:
Well done to everyone at Luton Town Football Club. Huge achievement and a moment to be proud of.

It was, indeed, a moment to treasure and considering where we sit compared to the other teams in the Championship financially, a triumph for budgeting skills, a triumph for the recruiting system and a triumph in showing what can be done if you put your mind to it.
But it isn’t just Luton supporters who appreciated what the club, as a whole, has achieved, with supporters from other clubs, far and wide, also offering social media congratulations:
This is brilliant, I’m so chuffed for Luton. I knew wee Al was a Premiership level player when he was still at Motherwell, I really hope he helps get you there. I’ll be cheering you on in the playoffs.

Amazing. Not that long ago I saw Luton at Welling in non league football. Best of luck for the play offs!

Indeed, that last post sums matters up perfectly, what a journey we’re currently on.

It was good to see some of the players that could not play actually come to support the team.
LTFC’s achievement is probably in the same vein as when Leicester won the Prem a few years ago – I can easily see them beating Huddersfield and Sheffield United in the final! COYH!!
