Do Luton have a decent following on the road cos Luton is a long journey remember Oxford came with about five hundred couple of seasons ago but they were top of the league at the time.Lets hope for a big crowd plus 3pts

When you consider they have sold 37,800 tickets for wembley and they want more, then you would think that 500 would be a minimum.

However even though they can technically still avoid relegation even their most positive fans must see it as very unlikely, and as you say it is a long way.

Their form is not bad at the moment either, so it should be a difficult game with them fighting to stay in this league.

I think he was trying to infer that you can get a train from Watford to Lancaster. However, for much of the day, you can't get direct trains to/from there because the Glasgow/Lancaster - London trains are non-stop from Warrington Bank Quay and vice versa. This came about in the timetable change last December.

That is just plain strange, Dawzi. To be obsessed with trains when the Shrimps have an important match! Personally I prefer writing down all the service station names on the M6 and M5 between Morecambe and Exeter, far more exciting :)

Doesn't matter much, but it's Watford Junction, and they don't go through Manchester. ;)
