Not too surprisingly, BBC Look East had a big lunchtime news article about Luton Town FC and the playoff final. Probably went on for about 5 minutes with most Hatters fans thinking they've already won the game and have started celebrating already.
Has BBC Midlands given us much air time over the last few days ? Going back in time, local BBC used to treat us like a boil on the arse and would totally ignore City news as long as there was a club called Aston V*lla having a story about a player being awake all night with toothache...

It's weird that Luton is on BBC Look East isn't it?

There's a full preview on local BBC news tonight apparently... They were briefly talking about it last night, i noticed it on the tv in the gym.

I wouldn't read too much into a local news programme being pro-Luton..... its hardly an in-depth analysis and they're not exactly going to put up loads of Luton fans saying they don't fancy their chances.

That was the BBC sport Championship page earlier. 5 story's on Luton, 1 on Cov.
I'm Perfectly happy for us to just carry on unnoticed.

It’s in that weird sort of area where it’s not quite London, not quite the East, and not quite the Midlands.

My mate went to uni in Northampton and I remember thinking it was weird they would get Anglia on ITV

Surely we have to look to Sunderland fans to provide an impartial barometer on this one....

Although since they got bullied by Luton they've decided that they are also "tinpot" and "scum"

A 4-page thread appeared on their forum overnight about Cov..... although they honestly "don't care because whoever goes up is coming straight back down to be replaced by Sunderland in 12 months....."
