right Luton Town was chanting "who are ya" when it was 0-0 and a small batch of nine teenagers start chanting "who are ya" back and around 20 steward come to escort us to futher down the East stand towards the North to Block G i believe. the thing is straight after we scored because i was in Block A i was able to have a convosation with a Luton Fan and had a little bit of banter and a couple minutes later the stewards come. they also threatened to kick me out because i said it was pathetic.

Change the record.
Agreed. Given that there were 3000+ and it was their big day out I thought they were pretty quiet.
Agree also, at time they were quite loud, but for 3000odd, it was poor.
Are you American?
They don't get irony either.
Similar size club to us? .....really?
If you was in the Rod before the game, inbreeding was the order of the day.
Quite right. We are a much bigger club than you. ;)
Had a nice day today. Let's hope there's a nice juicy tie ready for whoever wins the replay.
Haha if that was the case, half of your fans there today would have used this fine Saturday for Christmas shopping.
What was with the lack of atmosphere today, the Valley was yours for the taking!
Great result for you guys and you could tell how much your players wanted it, your right back throwing himself at every ball.
Set us up for a great return leg, i look forward to the short trip north of the river.
Jeez, back in our Sellout and Upton Park days we would've loved a crowd as big as today - even in the top division. Absolutely ridiculous comments.
Agreed, i wasn't expecting anything like 8,000.
Anybody who has paid good money over the years to watch us go out of the cup every year , miserably , has the right to not to turn up. Having said that i still did my usual 160 mile round trip and unlike other's i didn't think we ( or the game) was as bad as people are making out.
I seem to recall us getting a crowd similar today's for our first game back in the top flight for almost 30 years - and Sheff Weds probably had as many then as Luton had today. Different circumstances of course - on many fronts - but I refuse to beat myself over our crowds having experienced those dark days. Some people need to brush up on their history.
Absolutely not True.
I live in the area and know for a fact that that is not the case.
If they had a stadium of the same size and quality as The Valley and they were in league one they would never average 16 or 17 k . more like 10 or 11.
We have a much bigger catchment area ,it's called Kent. What is the catchment area that you are talking about regarding Luton?
Outside Luton it's villages and small towns and believe me they are not football hotbeds. If the the kids wear any football shirts it's nearly always Arsenal.
Anyhow most people who live in Luton are far more interested in going to a Mosque rather than the football. That's just a fact.
Despite the ignorant comment at the end (over half of Lutonians declare themselves to be Christian) Bedsaddick is right. We pulled 30,000 fans to the Play-off final we were getting 13k crowds in Division 1. And that was before we gained a whole host of new supporters from our schemes throughout Kent & the new supporters we gained during our Premiership success.

Why change the record our own fans are getting treated worse and worse but hey lets not worry hey
Anyone see the bog roll thrown on the pitch ? not much said about that is there
Nothing Ignorant about my last comment at all. There maybe more Christians than Muslims in Luton but in percentage terms how many of them go to Kenilworth Rd compared to The numerous Mosques in the area? Irrelevant maybe , Ignorant it wasn't.
Where's that then? I must've missed it.
The thread started with someone moaning about stewards, then someone criticised the Luton support, then I defended their support...?
Was always going to be a pony atmosphere in our end because it was a nothing game to us. Get to the 3rd round and we will start drawing the crowds in.
As for if we got to the JPT final, we would easily sell 40 odd thousand tickets, 20k regulars, 10k on and off fans, and the rest made up of family and mates.
