The 2023/2024 season is now just a matter of two weeks away, although I’m sure those 14 days will feel like an eternity.
However, the trip to the south coast to take on Brighton and Hove Albion cannot come quick enough for the Hatters support.
But, no doubt, there will be obstacles thrown in our path, quite possibly a rail strike forcing us all on to the motorways and by-roads that head down to the coast.
For the fixture, Luton Town have been given 3001 tickets, quite where the odd one comes from, I’d like to know.
Now last season, that figure would have sufficed, those who went to our EFL Championship games rarely exceeded that figure.
But, as we all know, the Premier League is a different kettle of fish, and it remains to be seen how quickly the tickets are snapped up by Luton’s travelling support once the Diamond Season Card Holders and Executive Club Members have purchased their tickets.
Sat in the pub last night, a general topic of conversation that did the rounds related to how many of the 38 Premier League games we’d likely attend, something that has now, on this site, manifested itself into a poll:
How Many PL Games Do You Expect To Attend This Season?
Now, whilst I’m guessing many would like to go to all 38, ticket availability, scheduling and work commitments may make a dent in that figure.
Also, a friend pointed out to me, the following tweet which may affect some of those wishing to attend our second game of the season, at Stamford Bridge:
Awful decision @ChelseaFC and I say that as one of your many over 60’s. We need to encourage a new generation, not put hurdles in their way. https://t.co/GJMhBIOBqS

Be aware, if you are looking to go to West London and you are under 16 and not accompanied by an adult, or, if you must, simply grab a fellow supporter and pretend you are with them!
But I’ll certainly be interested to see the results of this poll.

Leeds United’s Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Everton and Manchester United-linked midfielder Tyler Adams ‘has a relegation release clause’Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams reportedly has a relegation release clause in his contract.
Clauses have enabled numerous players to leave Elland Road this summer, with many being given the opportunity to depart on loan by the terms of their Whites deal.
According to The Athletic, Adams has a relegation release clause that would force Leeds to sanction a move if the fee offered meets the figure included in his contract.Since the club’s relegation to the Championship was confirmed, the USA international has been linked with clubs both in England and overseas. Among the English clubs to have been linked with Adams are Manchester United, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.
There is also said to have been interest from the Bundesliga and reporters have suggested Adams is keen to continue to playing at the highest level.
He was a bright spark for the Whites last season, endearing himself to supporters with his combative style of play in midfield. However, injury curtailed his maiden Premier League campaign and he was absent as Leeds were condemned to relegation by Tottenham Hotspur on the final day of the season.
