Title: Crewe & Luton
Post by: Luci on Friday, January 4, 2008, 12:47:17
As these are the up and coming away fixtures, Crewe is ok for the Saturday but Luton Away on a Tuesday night!

Anyone been to Luton by train before or is it a nightmare?  If so, I'll drive to this as its after payday and its also on a Tuesday night which is a bit rubbish. Ive heard Luton also is surrounded by residents parking?

Not been on the train to Luton but driven there before. Its in the equivalent of a Manchester Road type area, the entrance to the ground is in the middle of a row of terraced houses. A very weird ground. I think we parked about 10 minutes away.

Luton is linked direct to london on train but tiems will be tight to get home.  As said you will get parked about 10 mins away but its a shit hole, possibly worst area ever

Take your passport, you'll need it to get out......

The ground is surrounded by residential housing primarily occupied by the asian community. That said, if you want to stock up on curry spices and the like, the shops down the end of the street are ace!

Parking is non-existant. Think I parked on an industrial estate which was about a ten minute walk to the ground.

Driving into Luton at the moment is a total nightmare, M1 at Luton and surrounding areas full of major roadworks, train definitely best option.

Macca will be a late decision, if I go I will leave swindon at 3 as can get to Watford in an hour and a bit then its only 20 mins

Lutons ground is in a shitty area, and when Walrus drove us last time we asked at a local corner shop where it was they directed us to a playing field with a couple of goal posts on it!

Found it eventually, was a bugger to find on street parking, and if I was going to this I'd grab something to eat before going in the ground. The queue for half time grub went from the little kiosk at the top of the stand all the way down to the front, then along towards the goal.

Nice big away end though.

Not a problem, which suite would you like, I will make the call! I could play golf in the morning while you use the beauty facilities!
