Shh! you know the rules!
Shh! you know the rules!I feel another "fight club" in the offing.
Who's reffing this one?
I can only smell sour grapes.Yeah stinks of double standards.
Some people choose that view. Most are quite open minded. What side do you fall on?What a small minded thread
To be clear, you expected Luton to drop £10m on work to their ground in case they got promoted? Think that through.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.
So no then.
we got one this season gone because our ground was not ready to playon in the first 3 games!I don’t recall us getting one when the CBS wasn’t finished on time.
The two situations aren’t comparable; it’s more comparable to the CBS not being finished in time for the season.we got one this season gone because our ground was not ready to playon in the first 3 games!
Why did they not schedule their first few games away? They've done that in the past for other teams and there was always going to be a risk it wouldn't be readyTbf if you read the BBC article it says it is due to be ready on time but only just. So rather than any potential delay cause a last minute postponement and piss fans off, they're calling it now and both Burnley and the PL agree that's fine. A non-story really.
As far as I'm aware there's little or nothing spectator related. It's all about providing the press and TV with the facilities they so richly think they deserveSo is it just media shite and not safety?
I can only smell sour grapes.
I think most of us are of the opinion they're just going to take the money and run and spend that money on their new groundGood luck to Luton I say! They need to splash the cash to stay up though
I get what you're saying but you'd want to play your first home game back in the PL asap. For as long as it looks like you could, why postpone? I imagine they were in regular contact with the PL and with it not being a health and safety issue they were probably happy to let it slide a bit.Why did they not schedule their first few games away?

If that is what is needed to get promoted then yes. Other teams in the past have not been able to move up the football pyramid if they don’t have stadiums which meet the criteria of the league above. Why should it be any different from championship to premier league. One example being Stevenage not being promoted to the football league in the 90s.To be clear, you expected Luton to drop £10m on work to their ground in case they got promoted? Think that through.
And I don’t blame them one little bit. It’s their money.I think most of us are of the opinion they're just going to take the money and run and spend that money on their new ground
Oh, I agree.And I don’t blame them one little bit. It’s their money.
I don't understand this at all. It's one game. Once they had the capital, they did the work. What that's got to do with Stevenage in the 90s, f*ck knows.If that is what is needed to get promoted then yes.

My big problem with it, isn’t to do with Luton, it’s the inconsistencies across the leagues in this country. One minute a rule is followed, the next jt can be bent/ broken depending on the club and the situation. Which increases the unfairness in football. It’s already massively weighted in bigger clubs favour because of the Sky money, parachute payments etc. To then not implement rules fairly makes it even worse.
Different league aswell - premier league under different governing to the EFLI don't understand this at all. It's one game. Once they had the capital, they did the work. What that's got to do with Stevenage in the 90s, f*ck knows.
We broke rules, got a suspended punishment. Should we have been docked points there and then instead? I'll be rooting for them, I know that much.
The suspended points is still a punishment.I don't understand this at all. It's one game. Once they had the capital, they did the work. What that's got to do with Stevenage in the 90s, f*ck knows.

I don’t think they’re all that bothered about staying up.They probably have something like a 10 year plan to become an established PL club though.Good luck to Luton I say! They need to splash the cash to stay up though

It’s about consistency in the rules, no consistency from the governing body, that’s all.
I do realise that. But there should still be consistencyYou do realise it’s two different bodies with different sets of rules?
Different scenario aswell - Stevenage was a capacity issue, which I think is the same in the prem. Luton’s is media facilities isn’t it? Can be added before the season which they expect.I do realise that. But there should still be consistency

If I was a Luton fan browsing this one, it would be a case of what we think the Sunderland forum is like.
