They have to ground share to meet the rules. Is it 20k capacity?

But if they’d spent the money on the stadium they should’ve done, they wouldn’t have had the team they had. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have gone up. There are teams that have bent or broken the rules (e.g Derby) far more than they have. But in my view it could still be considered a form of cheating.

The changes only need to be made in the Premier League I thought? Why would they have spent before they got promoted?

Luton Town: Club's first Premier League home game postponed over stadium uncertainty - BBC Sport

Luton Town's first Premier League home game is postponed with the club unable to guarantee improvement works at Kenilworth Road would be completed in time.
www.bbc.com

The £10m work programme includes the construction of a new stand to meet broadcast and media requirements.

In the past teams haven’t been able to climb the football pyramid if there ground isn’t ready by the time the season they would be promoted ends

Hasn't that mainly been about seating and safety standards though, for non league teams into League Two etc?

That's a difficult one though isn't it because they are in it and the ground isn't compliant.

I think the difference is a ground doesn't meet criteria and a team can't rectify it.

Then there is ground doesn't meet criteria, team are rectifying it but may not be finished until two or three weeks into the season.

Two totally different scenarios, can some of our fans grow up please.

No they can't meet the criteria as far as we know although they might get the pitch ready

We've got a suspended sentence - and we were lucky to get that, we might well have lost points and missed out on Wembley

And the first game there was at reduced capacity as well. Though I think the club actually got some money off the council for that in the form of a rent reduction.

After some of the shit we’ve pulled (playing ‘home’ games in Northampton, Birmingham, Burton). Not having a playable pitch etc. we should not be criticising Luton’s ground issues

Yeah but some weird, bitter little bed wetting girl still can’t seem to stomach the fact we lost the final. It’s so embarrassingly baffling, it really is.

There’s quite a few on here that need a massive comedown from whatever they’re on.

We couldn’t play at home for 3 games when the CBS was built - I don’t see the difference, Fair play to them as well, they’ve got there on merit without spending anything like a lot of other clubs.

I was saying it well before we got into the playoffs. It’s just a frustration on how the league is run. So many inconsistencies and this is another one.

Friday night plans:

1) Go out for a few beers
2) Get frisky with the missus
3) Watch a good film
4) Have an argument on Sky Blues Talk about the Luton Town stadium

Take your pick.

Not really they’ve usually got so long to get up to scratch. Fulham had to play at loftus road when they first got promoted as craven cottage had terracing if I recall. It also can’t have undersoil heating which is also a requirement.

this really is a non argument.
