Erling Haaland is in for a culture shock if Luton complete their rags-to-riches rise – but Hatters supremo Gary Sweet says it will be a taste of “real life.”
Cheap shots about Kenilworth Road's ramshackle charms – notably the away fans' entrance through neighbours' back gardens - have been two-a-penny on social media. And if they win the £180 million promotion shoot-out with Coventry ar Wembley on Saturday, chief executive Sweet confirmed they will make an immediate £10m dent in the jackpot to comply with Premier League criteria by rebuilding one stand in barely 12 weeks.
The Hatters hope their DIY SOS will only be a temporary makeover, with plans to move to a new stadium at Power Court in the town centre finally nearing the first spade in the ground.
