Bittersweet today, I'd be quite happy if we played all year round - what's the point of summer anyway - nothing but cricket & wasps! :rolleyes:

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

A busy day all round the leagues with more promotion and relegation issues decided......
Just following the National League scores on the BBC Live Scores site. Wouldn't like to see York City relegated again...we used to have some cracking 'Roses Derby' matches against them and my parents were both from over the border!
They have just equalised with a second goal for Parkin and could just do it.
Unfortunately though it puts them above Guiseley on goal difference. Woking are winning.
It is just horrible to be under threat at that end of any league!


.....Hey Ho ....

COME ON STANLEY!

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

York relegated....
Guiseley got a late goal to equalise and SURVIVE!
I think it is a shame that York are going down even further!:(


Oh well......

ON STANLEY ON

......still carrying the flag for T' 'OWD CLUBS!

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Thought we were very good 1st half and not that bad in the second. Luton are a good team though. What happened with the big hole that kept appearing in the left of our defence?

Lots of shouting for subs. I didn't really see much point as the 11 players on the pitch were still our best bet.

Beckles seemed to get laughter when MOTM was announced. I really didn't like that. I thought he had a decent enough game - as did they all. Reckon Harvey would have got my vote.

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Agree on Rogers he was excellent again although could say 3rd goal he was perhaps to blame?

Beckles worse than usual today he was pathetic and killed the team today, Conneely also very poor

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Don't like to comment on alleged 'poor performance' from any player, as they all give their best, every game, but agree that Rodgers would have got my vote for MOM.

As MOM is voted for by Hospitality 'Fans' & most of today's lot were from Luton, I guess the vote was a little ironic?

As an aside, we were subjected to having to endure a dozen or so Luton fans sat below us in the main stand...... when queried with a steward, was because they were 'Hospitality', & overspill from the section just below the lounge, so could not be ejected to the away end where they belonged.

Good job we Stanley fans are so amenable, would hate that situation to arise at many other grounds!!

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

I think I must have been sat close to you, I was quite irate at one point but when the 4th went in thought 'live and let live'

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

We sit level with 18yrd line, & agree, after second went in, we decided to ignore their celebrations!!

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

There are times when you just have to accept that the best team won!
Times when you have to take it on the chin.
Today was such a time.
At half time, I was looking at the other scores & thinking blimey! If we win this game, we'll only be 1 point off the play-off spot.
By full time, that hope had well & truly evaporated. Other teams managed to turn their games round and, erm, we took a beating.
Luton showed why they are in the play-offs. They were just quicker, more organised & deadly in front of goal.
Still, perhaps today has saved us from another visit to heartbreak hotel.
Can you imagine travelling to Satanage on the last day only one point away from seventh place!
Nay, nay & thrice nay!
I'm happy to drown my sorrows tonight, instead of next Saturday!

PS. What more must Harvey Rodgers do to win MOM? Despite the result, he was outstanding today.

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Suprised nobody's mentioned the shocking display from the ref today he made kettle look good

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

The ref was atrocious - not biased, just thoroughly inept once again!
We were also sat near the Luton fans who were booked into hospitality, & although a little annoying we had a good bit of banter with them & they didn't cause us any bother - the question must be asked though, would any other club allow away fans in the home stand & pick the motm?? Maybe the lure of their money is more important than the feelings of our own fans - just a thought

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

first half I thought we were the better team, we definitely had the better chances, second half Luton stepped it up and found so much space out wide, no complaints Luton deserved their win, even with the loss it was a very enjoyable game to watch

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Just watched Coley's post-match comments, & he didn't rate the ref either, although he was careful in the way he said it! On our budget, & his salary, he can't afford a fine!!

Agree wholeheartedly with your comments re- Luton fans, banter is OK, but they were irritating, to say the least! Still don't think they should have been allowed to sit where they did, no matter how much they paid for 'Hospitality', if there are no allocated seats left, make 'em stop in the Sports Bar & watch on telly!!
Still, hope we made a profit from them!

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

My twopence worth, first 20 mins we started well and deservedly went in level at half time. Second half Luton where a bit more feisty than us and the referree allowed their physical approach (kee always seems to get rough end of decisions on the physical battle). If felt luton wanted it a tiny bit more than us. On top of a few of our players having slightly below par performance(beckles, Clark and mccartain) and that's why we lost. Always a pleasure to have the Norwegian fans over (although we seem to lose when they come) they help the atmosphere. Credit billy kee, Seamus coneelly and Matty Pearson they all really interacted with fans on the lap of appreciation.

I actually think Jordan Clark played quite well today to be fair

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

I was there today because my grandson was playing with the Rosegrove team who were mascots and played 5 a side at half time. I enjoyed the game and I have to say what wonderful support you all give your team. Even when 4.1 down you were still singing 'We love you Stanley, we do.' Not like Man U fans who you never hear when they are losing.You were spot on about the players after the match chevyfire. A couple came over to the Rosegrove children and signed autographs. My thoughts as an outsider ..superb supporters , great team, wonderful club.

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

So you didn't come over especially for your FREE copy of Life:Style magazine!!

Hope you picked it up anyway!!

Presume your first game here, thanks so much for your comments, hope you & your grandson would like to attend many more games in the future!!

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Our poor coverage cost us dearly. the space on the outer wing near the main stand was always an unguarded opening for a quick attacker and we saw that today. We were up against a good Luton team. I was surprised we actually made a couple of subs. Two of the goals were a comedy of errors and a ref that was out of his depth. I think Coley has summed the match up about right. The big question is who will be here next season and what type of pre season friendlies will we have. We need some strong opposition to get us up and running.

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

I remember going to Turf Moor several years ago, to watch Burnley v Man City. I had been invited by a couple of Burnley supporting workmates, as they knew that City had been my boyhood team.
City won 6-1... you can imagine how I had to suppress my emotions as each of those six goals went in!!
If only those Luton supporters had muted their reactions in a similar way!

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Don't know why anyone's suprised by the Luton fans celebrating in the home end, they're not exactly subtle from down there, all the club cares about now is money, starting to lose touch with its own fans for its own greed

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Agree with the Lord about Clark. First half the balls in from the right were far more dangerous than the left. We were solid down the right but deary me the left .......
McConville gave Don no defensive support. All well and good bringing Edwards on .......but to replace someone who's a supply route ?
We really struggle to get the ball out wide from midfield. I get the feeling McCartan has been carrying that groin problem for a few weeks now.
Luton are my favourites to win the play offs.

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Ha Ha Yes KiTChener I did get a copy of the magazine....and then left it in my daughters bag. Still I ll get it back today and enjoy reading it. It is not the first time I have been to the Wham and I have watched Stanley at Peel park years ago. My dad played for them at the beginning of the war (I wasnt around then) and I have watched him play on Peel Park with the Nori team.

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

without the club getting money we,d be following york into the abyss. if people don,t turn up the club had to increase revenue at every possible corner. some might not like it but no money = no club.

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Absolutely agree Monkey Hanger. We cant expect the goodwill of folk like Andy Holt, Peter Marsden et al forever. At some point this club has to start generating its own funds and AH is the man to begin that process.

He has the funds to ensure we dont get our trousers ripped down with regards to transfers so as and when we see real fees coming in the club could really transform.

A few years ago we got good money for Procter and compo for Coleman - on the back of abysmal for Ryan, Grant, Gornell and others. That money disappeared into the black hole of debt, late payments and court/solicitor costs. Hopefully those days are behind us now, and a self sufficient club, along with the occasional cup run, transfer fees AND the backing of an ambitious owner, mean that we can look forward to a healthier future.

All those things also mean that the club will, at some point, be able to stop fire fighting, dealing with miniscule things, and start to develop. A healthier bank account and money coming in may mean being able to actually develop a long term business plan and to begin the task of taking back the town.

I read this forum with dismay sometimes, when the gripes are about something and nothing. We are on the cusp of greatness (for us) and the good times could be about to roll. I say let things be because there would be nowt worse than disheartening a good man like AH over triviality

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Well said Macca. Although I'd say the good times are already rolling. If anyone has not enjoyed the last two seasons (as I have done) then you need a reality check when you next look around our small, sparely filled ground as we whup yet another bigger club's ass.

And when you realise you are only paying £9 for the privilege plus a quid for a half time cuppa, please reconsider whether it really is just about the money these days.

As a great man once said...."get behind the club"

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

Well I hope those who are griping about something and nothing had a reality check on Saturday when little Charlie came on the field. That really puts things into prospective.

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

The club has only recently got any segregation so most stanley fans are used to away fans celebrating amongst them.


The MoM award is not supposed to be objective, the sponsor with give it to the player they want to meet at a lot of clubs, and never to the away side of course. Sometimes they may pick the only player with black boots or some other arbitrary reason.

The clubs end of season party carried on to the early hours with Mr Holt buying the drinks amoungst the great unwashed in the town centre.

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

This statement comes as something of a surprise.


:confused::confused::confused:

When did this happen? I haven't seen any player with black boots for quite some time.

Re: Luton Town Match Thread - Last home Match
 

I know someone who got to pick it as his company sponsored it and he used the black boots method. Imagine if you are a sponsor after several pints, you may think it is funny to give it to Omar after the nod, but he did signal that is what he was doing. Also get hammered and still the home team gets it at every club - therefore not objective.

At the crown for most of its history there has been no segregation, and accessible seating has been within the home support even after segregation

Stanley fans were more offensive with the homophobic chanting again, "who's the faggot in the pink", comedy genius from the drum boys.
