No idea, but if its to their advantage they have every right to. Bit of a bummer for their fans though. Maybe they feel that theres a possibility that this wont be Lutons only postponement, and if others also refuse to switch then Luton, a potential relegation rival, will suffer from serious fixture congestion? If Burnley switch the fixture, and lose, they are gonna wish they hadnt? Why would they help out a relegation rival?
Maybe, but I’d have also thought last thing they’d want, not gonna have a massive squad so could impact them down line as well.
They are signing bang average players like Chong who was on loan last season at Birmingham. It pains me still and always will we never had Batth, Cirkin, Alese, Ballard and Stewart available. We would literally be in the Prem now.. Them signing Chong reminds me of when i slept with a lass in Ibiza who looked like a super model. When i woke up sober she had a face a dog wouldn't lick and teeth like a Witch doctors necklace
it's because they know they're being heard because of the microphones, and add to that, outlets like talksport kiss their arses and bang on about how fantastic the support is, unrivalled atmosphere blah blah blah.
Always remember when they made it awkward for us because of the strip clash and we had to invent one for that one game instead of playing in there away kit aswell (psg, Munich all do). It was funny because we beat them in it like.
Burnley have every right to tell Luton and the Premier Leauge to f**k off. I'm in no way a fan of Burnley, but that fixture list is what the manipulated "random" fixture list ended up as so they'll have to deal with it.
Burnley fans have quite rightly been excited about their return to the PL and were no doubt looking at fixtures, booking hotels, buying train tickets, etc ... ... now, through no fault of their own it's all changed before it's even started.
In the lower leagues teams often are refused promotion if their ground and facilities are not up to the level required of the league they aspire to be promoted to. It should be no different in the professional game, if the club can't afford a new ground or adaptions to their existing ground then they shouldn't be able to be promoted. There was never a chance Luton could make the required changes in time for the season to start
Correct, absolutely no chance they could bring that ground up to Championship level, never mind PL. It's an absolute disgrace being purported to be 'quirky' by the media. Let's see how much fun it is for commentators having to climb iron ladders to a gantry from which there's no escape in a fire. And to think they halved the Roker End for safety
No doubt Luton will receive the same sypathetic treatment that Coventry got last Season, having agreed that their pitch could be used for a Rugby Sevens tournament during the close season.
They reckon you go through a house to get to the ground ! but they get £120m so that should help them rebuild the ground.
"It’s alleged that the club failed to ensure their spectators and/or supporters – and anyone purporting to be their supporters or followers – conducted themselves in an orderly fashion, did not behave in a way which is improper, threatening, violent and/or provocative in the 14th minute, and did not encroach on to the pitch or commit any form of pitch incursion following the final whistle."
They are going to be hit with about 20 of these next season, it’s like playing on Marley Potts field.
