Franchise and Luton Town to merge?

[Spencer_White]

If they end up in the same league next season it seems pretty likely to me. Luton's ground is a relic, and they dont have many fans in Luton proper anyway. Their fans come from Dunstable and surrounding towns (including Milton Keynes).

Weve been wondering how they were going to get fans in that stadium in MK and this would seem to be it.

I should think they would keep the Luton Town name as well, seeing as it does have some history in the football world. It would be nice to get rid of the McDons name. But their trail of destruction through the meaning of football continues.

Well done the FA.

I think if they are not in the same league then Luton will probably play at Franchise' new ground.

But I cant see many people watching Franchise when they could watch a proper club.  

The whole thing is a joke. Ableit not as big a joke as Kenilworth road.

Luton have just signed an agreement with a developer to move to a 20,000 new ground near the M1.

     Classic Sol Davis tackle on Sidibe of Stoke.....precipitated mass brawl.  Sol got red card despite winning the ball clean as a whistle.

Sol and Ricardo Fuller then went and had a fight in the player's lounge after the game. good to see sol is as big a mental case as ever

Have they? Did you see the championship this morning? Was that all bollocks what they were saying then?

Agree classic Sol. Loved the way he slammed his hands together after he got up, as if to say, 'dont fuck about, fucking hit him you nonce' to his team mate.

  I did see the Championship, but I was more looking at the pictures rather than listening to owt.....due to a quality Sat night.

I can't see a merger between two clubs of that size merging......although nothing surprises me in football any more!

I hope they do merge. It would pave the way for loads of similar merges which would mean the football league could be cut down to a reasonable size. A size where it could be profitably. Four professional divisions is too much. We need 2 max. Best outcome would be one professional league of 10-15 teams, that way there wouldn't be so much of a problem with handing out tv money.

 Well the egg chasers did it....strangely I was in the car park at  Rodney Parade on a fine summer's evening  listening to 5Live when I heard that the likes of Aberavon, Maesteg, Bridgend ,Cross Keys and Abertillery were to be consigned to the scrapyard of sport along with Grandstand.

Fuck off.

It would kill the local community aspect of football.

We need more involvement and better integration rather than less teams.

Bollocks. Us and Oxford could merge with Reading to become some sort of Thames Valley Warriors, it would be ace, mean auto promotion and financial stability. We've all got decent grounds and so could alternate which ones we use.

Serious post: Didn't Sol Davis have a stroke or something last year ?
