[Football] Who do you want to win the Championship playoffs?

[Wozza]

Unlucky Pritchard!

 

[Hugo Rune]

2/0 Luton…..well deserved imo

Exactly.

The Makems finished 11 points below Luton. They need to do their time in the Championship and get a lot better before they are worthy of OUR league!

 

[Hamilton]

Anyone but Boro.

I did want Sunderland, but now they’re out, it has to be Coventry. Do it for Jimmy!

Had Nathan still been there I would have plumped for Luton.

Luton for the away day

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

If Luton go up, the away end holds around 1,200 max but police like to keep a sterile area to keep the goading and coin throwing from a safe distance so it might be down from that. I can't stand their fans but what an achievement it would be if they made the Premier League from the National League.

It would make Bournemouth look like the Bernabeu though with the facilities. At least Plucky offers a decent view.

Are there fans quite bad? Always heard they have a bit of a rep, but, wanted to check.

Sunderland had 1,032 tickets for tonight.

Why SAFC's Luton ticket allocation was only for 1,032 fans as Cats sell out away end

Sunderland will face Luton Town over two legs in a Championship play-off semi-final.

Last time I went was to watch Barnet there. A miserable 2-0 defeat the day after the Paris bombings and there was a lot of offensive chanting. Without wanting to sound like PPF, Luton's chavs took a hiding outside the ground as they tried to surround the coach to annoy the driver and fans. Although a lot of the faces I recognised were Tottenham fans, who didn't have a game due to an international break.

But the whole area of Luton is GRIM.

Had forgotten he’d died.. 8 years ago wow.

I went to Kenilworth Road last season, still an absolute dump. Sat in the 'main' stand, on rickety benches which don't have backs.

The toilets had a broken pipes with urine pouring over the floor.

I know they are due to build a new stadium and don't want to spend money on Kenilworth Rd but there's a limit, how much does it cost to get a plumber in, a few painters and some half decent plastic seats.

We had to spend several million on the Amex to make it premier league ready didn't we

 

[Brian Fantana]

My father-in-law is a Sunderland fan and as well as being an arsehole in general, he has spent the majority of my kids' lives belittling Brighton and trying to get them to support Sunderland instead. Allied to that, having spent about a decade living and working pretty closely with a wide cross section of their support, they are right up there in the entitlement stakes.

Safe to say that tonight has been a hugely enjoyable one at Fantana Towers, especially as my FoL had to watch the match here.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Always great to see clubs that 'Deserve to be in the PL' (SKY, TalkSPORT, BBC) like Sunderland not getting there. No one deserves anything. Messes up their narratives quite nicely. See also Wednesday, Sheffield.

 

[Gwylan]

Boro for me. It would be another stadium to tick off and I have two friends who live in the area - would give me a good excuse to visit

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Radio yesterday were saying if Luton do get promoted, then their ground is currently not upto standard.

I know they have 14 weeks. Still a lot of work to be done! Could you imagine if they weren’t allowed up.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Probably Coventry after all their fans have been through. Luton’s rise from the conference is quite incredible

Luton and Coventry have both had back stories to rival ours, so either or really

 

[Wozza]

This would be the case for any new PL club.

Need new, stronger floodlights, room for VAR cameras etc.

Several million needs to be spent.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Exactly.

I concluded the opposite when I watched. Sunderland play a decent brand of football which is a strong foundation for an extended stay in the PL.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

This would be the case for any new PL club.

Absolutely, but Luton have to get rid of a whole stand and replace it within 14 weeks.

And do all the other work.

A tough ask, especially where the ground is.

 

[crodonilson]

Sunderland on the verge of sacking Mowbray after last nights capitulation and their abject failure to achieve promotion back to the PL. Seems slightly harsh to me.

 

[brighton_tom]

This would be the case for any new PL club.

£10m needs to be spent according to a BBC article. Which includes one of the stands needing to be pretty much rebuilt...

Luton Town: Premier League promotion could cost £10m

Luton Town are well-placed for the play-offs or automatic promotion, but need to improve their ground.
