Does anyone know how the cheap (4 for £20) train ticket works when going to Luton. What is the best route to take and is it easy to get into central London before and after the game??

Edit: just been told that it's a straight route but does stop at London Bridge so can just take a tube ride from there if need be.

Never been to Kenilworth Road (absolute hovel) but I did venture to Southend on that sunny August day eight years ago when we all thought we'd batter them then ended up losing comfortably 2-0
I think I'm going to brave both this time (anyone got the Lonely Planet Guides to Essex & Bedfordshire, in case it gets a bit unpleasant?).
PS how on earth are Southend in the play off spots??

Well this is quite possibly the kiss of death, but when we played them at home this season, they were complete toilet. Before they even signed Revell.
Best team I've seen at home was Forest- although those who went to the City Ground may disagree- and for a short period in the first half, Doncaster.

Must admit, in the first 15 or 20 minutes Donny looked like a team much too good for this division. Couldn't keep it up though could they.

Nope. Thought they played quite superb football for a spell of about fifteen, twenty minutes, as you say. But maybe the fact it didn't last is why they're not in the top two now and Carlisle, somehow, are.
Assuming they don't go up via the play offs, they have to be a good bet for next season, as they're bound to pick up another few players, the final pieces in the jigsaw if you will.
On a Luton note- let's hope the ten point penalty costs them their place in this division, as we never, ever win at Kenilworth Road (not only that, but we inevitably play absolutely shockingly)
He is playing again now albeit for the reserves.

Awfully tempting to get tickets for both Southend and Luton. It will be a good distraction from doing Finance revision. Exciting times ahead indeed

I thought Southend played as well as any team between the two boxes, passed the ball around really nicely, but their strikers were useless, not much movement which usually led to them going for one more pass all the time and not really creating openings. They signed Leon Clark soon after that and shot up the table, and signed strikers again in January. I think they're a decent side.
