If You Feel Low - Think Of Luton Supporters!

Five of us travelled down and met some home supporters in a pub near the ground, who collected ID cards from fellow fans so we could get in to watch the match.

It didn't last long, however. Newcastle scored, we celebrated, and the stewards kicked us out! But the thought was there.

Sadly, the Football League have handed them an amazing THIRTY POINT BAN for the start of next season.

The club will now start the new Coca-Cola League Two season on -30 points, having already been deducted 10 points last month by the FA for breaching rules over payments to players' agents.

Stephen Browne (Luton director: "It's quite clear that we have made a mistake. We placed our faith in the footballing authorities. We have tried to do everything openly and honestly.

"Obviously the very clear message from both the FA and Football League is that doing such a thing is a total waste of time.

"Once again the faithful supporters are left high and dry. Once again a policy of honesty is not at all recognised by the football authorities who claim they want to clean up the game.

"People who should, in theory at least, be protecting supporters and encouraging honesty in the game will not bring us down.

"They are clearly trying to push Luton Town out of existence".

For what it is worth - as football fans - our thoughts go out to those generous fans from Luton who helped us in our hour of need.
