Luton v Watford

I was driving in to Luton about 40 minutes ago and the Watford coaches were lined up at the side of the road, about 4 miles from the ground. The police escorts was massive. 6 or 7 bikes and 8 or 9 patrol cars. They must be expecting a bit of bother.

Currently sitting in the range Costa whilst my wife spends all our money on tat. Thought you guys might be interested in that.
A wife buying tat ALWAYS leads to a full redecoration of the entire house, you do realise that donā€™t youā€¦?
 
Knowing a few Luton and Watford fans and the rivalry there is always potential for trouble at this fixture and police presence is always big.
I live in the area and was surprised. It was my wife who mentioned the footie as we were passing the coaches and police.
. Our local will be packed right now with a mix of fans

Surprised you are surprised @Laughing. Have you been living in the area long? There is a deep dislike bordering on hatred on both sides although maybe not evident amongst the farmers of rural Beds.

Here is a piece on the history of the rivalry and the crowd troubles down the years.

If Boro donā€™t get an automatic promotion place, then on the evidence of this game we will not worry too much about Luton.

Iā€™m not seeing much quality but unfortunately playoffs are usually rough and tumble affairs and Iā€™d rather avoid Luton in the semi finals thatā€™s for sure. Iā€™d rather play a Blackburn or Norwich.
 
Watford very ordinary 1st half. Luton dont usually score more than 1 of late. Dont concede nuch either. Think it will stay 1 nil luton to put pressure on us.
 
Surely itā€™s not Wilders fault.. heā€™s a footballing genius. He has the same problem there that he had here earlier this seasonā€¦ the players simply arenā€™t good enough šŸ˜‰
