    I’ve been a Luton fan since 1983 and have seen the highs and lows.
    The 30 point deduction in 2008 by the FA ensured their demotion to non league football but they made sure the picked up the Football League trophy in 2009 beating Scunthorpe in the final, ironically, the Irons are sure to be relegated from the football league this season.
    It’s all looking bright down Kenilworth Road these days and if they do go up there will be yet more irony as it looks like Watford will be relegated to the championship.
    A move to their new stadium Power Court in the centre of Luton is not too far off either.
    It’s a good time to be a Hatter, Nathan Jones has done wonders.
    Did you see Mickey Weir play for them?

    Eric Morecombe's team, which is good enough.

    What a rollercoaster they have experienced in the past couple of decades. When I was a kid they were old First Division and a very good side, with the likes of the Stein brothers, Ricky Hill, Steve Foster, Ashley Grimes, Danny Wilson. I remember them winning the League Cup; they played on a plastic pitch and had a policy of no away fans at games, due to hooliganism.

    They had a financial collapse and fell through the divisions, ending up non-league and almost going out of business. In the past few years they've gone the other way and now look certain to be in the Championship play-offs. What a fairy tale, should they get back to the EPL. I'd like to see them do it and complete the comeback.
    Remember them well in the 80’s, we always used to give Steve Foster a bit of stick at Anfield when I stood on the Kop. Liverpool went on to sign Paul Walsh from them who I liked as a player, they also had a decent keeper in Les Sealey as well as the other players mentioned.

    No, I’m from Edinburgh and going to see Luton is more of an annual treat.
    Mickey was only there for 4 months, my mate said he was a tricky player for them and impressed on his short time there, in context, he was there as long as Shaun Maloney was with us.

    I always remember Luton as having one of the 1st plastic pitches
    The bounce on the pitch was incredible, obviously it was nothing like what we have now but even then how that was passed suitable for football is beyond me :)

    The entrance to the Oak Stand, between a terrace of houses and along a walkway above back gardens, needs to be seen to be believed.

    The goal that got them there was something else. Straight out of a Danny Baker Own Goals and Gaffs video.

    Would be extraordinary. Really hope they can do it.
    Lot of injury problems though.

    Tommy Robinson a big fan too!
    That mug used to try and claim he was a member of the Luton MIGs back in the day. He wouldn’t dare show his face at the club after being humiliated a few years back.

    From Premier League to non-league, and now back to the Premier League. What a journey; it must be unique.

    Absolutely brilliant achievement.

    I remember seeing them relegated 31 years ago at notts county. Far too long.

    Just reading Luton's Captain collapsed on the pitch and taken to hospital but is conscious and speaking to family.
