It’s been 31 years three months and 10 days, 11, 424 days of waiting but the moment is finally here for Luton town.
Today, Luton Town are travelling south to Brighton and Hove Albion to play their first Premier League game in 9 years.
It’s been a long wait for Hatters fans; David Pleat’s side of 1991/92 failed to win away from home. The 9th March 1991 and a 2-1 win at Aston Villa was the last time the team scored points away from home in the top-flight.
Around 3000 Hatters fans are expected to travel down to Brighton to support the team; kick off is at 3pm today
Team Boss, Rob Edwards has said:
“We feel ready and I’m proud to be here,”
“You don’t really think about it in the moment because you’re always thinking ‘what’s next?’ and it’s hard in football to take stock and reflect on achievements. I’ve found it difficult to think ‘oh, that was good’ but I am extremely proud to be a Premier League manager and it’s been an aim of mine for a long, long time. Everyone in football is ambitious and we all want to work at the highest level, and I think everyone would agree that the Premier League is the highest level at the moment, but none of us have got a crystal ball and we don’t know what’s going to happen.”
