They are however investing £100M in a new stadium. Shovel work expected to start  before the end of the year.

Do you know where the money is coming from?

You'll have to google that!

Luton have been building a new stadium since before Eric Morecambe was a director there.

They have abandoned the idea of moving to Dunstable and are now going to pitch up (ha ha) near the railway station with a 17,500 seater with minimal ends allowing for it to be increased to 23,000 in the future.

Seems to be financially linked to a hotel and retail park development by the M1 which might not get OK'd because it is green field.

You're right about how long it has been. I grew up in Bedfordshire in the 90s and 2000s, and a former owner was giving it large saying they were going to build a stadium off a junction of the M1 then.

Luton Town FC received a legal challenge from the owners of the shopping centre in the town itself IIRC, which has delayed everything as the shopping centre LTFC want to build on the outskirts funds the new stadium. Don't know what the latest is on that front - as with most things like this it seems to have dragged on for years.

Ince gone, no surprise there, not exactly the mastermind you want in a relegation battle..

Serves him right. Slagged off Solksjaer's coaching staff; 'He's got Michael Carrick, no experience'.

He's just battered you 5-0 mate.

Ramsey scores a tap in and runs across to the Norwich fans (he was on loan at Norwich earlier in the season) to taunt them.

What a prick.

[Sweaty Gussets]

A Boro win would be the perfect result

Need Norwich to lose as many of possible from now til the end of the season

[G Somerset Rover]

A Norwich loss here would be huge for us; they would be a point behind having played two more games. Come on, Boro!

[Exiled_Rover]

Ah, you've got to love instant karma.

[jim mk2]

Come on Bonny Boro. The rain might win this match though 

[roverandout]

2-0 boro.  You just know the game will be abandoned

3-1 now.

3-1 🤪

Two of Middlesbrough's goals tonight have been scored by loanees. How many goals have our loan players contributed again?

Yep, Archer has been a great signing. How we haven’t been able to bring in one semi decent forward this season on loan is laughable. And very likely will cost us.

[duckson]

4-1….Archer again.

Thought Boro were imploding according to a poster on here 🤔 

[BigBar]

The same Norwich who strolled to victory against us getting smashed 4-1 after being held at home by Rotherham.

We needed a striker in January, everyone knows that - they tried to get two and failed on both.

I'd love to know what kind of loan fees they're paying for Archer / Ramsey et al. I'd dead set against pumping your side full of loanees unless they're definitely going to take you over the top to the PL. It's like paying rent instead of a mortgage.

Norwich not going above us tonight 

4-1 down to Boro in the River

We must have been watching different games.
