So they've won on penalties. 6-5.

Gonna be interesting to see if they manage to get more points that Derby (11) or the Mackems (15).

We should start a Sweep Stake on how many points they are gonna win.

Also wonder where they are gonna play their matches?

Will they get their own stadium up to EPL standard? Will they be playing at Watford? Or will they ground share with the MK Dons?

It's gonna be interesting. For the travelling fans Watford would be a lot easier off the train but either way gonna be interesting to see what happens.

No doubt they'll be taking a proper good thrashing by Eddie Howe's high flying Magz!

I'm really pleased for them.

They'll play at home - no chance they'll turn down that advantage.

100% it'll be all sorted and up to standard.

It'll be an interesting addition to the away day circuit that for sure.

I've been to some crappy old stadiums - Filbert Street, the Dell, Roots Hall and Kenilworth Rd in '94 when we got beat 2-0 in the cup.

Yet another masterful cup performance from the toon! lol, not!

Teams like Brentford and Brighton shoud be their model.

I think it's fantastic that a small club like Luton have made it. And I don't mean it in a patronising way-I'm sure they would look on their stature compared to their achievement as a badge of honour.

History, etc, is important, obviously, in terms of teams that give our league its 'clout', but tLuton have earned their right to be in the Prem and play alongside those teams.I hope they do a Forest.

One of the best games I ever saw at St James’ was against them. They were league leaders and on a long unbeaten run.
We went 2-0 up only to be pegged back with a few minutes left. We went up the other end and Imre Varadi made it 3-2 with the last kick of the game. I was in the corner (standing then) - absolutely mental scenes.

It’s mad, I had no idea they were so close to the premier league I thought they were way down the divisions. They should take the money from the premier league go back down to the championship and invest it wisely it could transform their club. If the start spending stupid money on players and wages trying to stay up on their first go could end in tears in the long run.


But this is a great thing for English football, all the other clubs Throughout the divisions feel like it’s really possible to get to the Premier League now. If Luton can do it why can’t Gateshead?

They were playing the mackems 3 years ago in league one and were promoted from that league only a season before the mackems.

I couldn't see them using the Watford Stadium. There's been too much hatred between those two clubs in the past.

It would be the equivalent of the Muckums playing at St James' Park or even worse still us having to camp at the Stad du Crap
