Roy's View From... View From Luton

[INTAKE BLADE]

Cheers Roy
Twas like reading a view from a pig game, so obvious

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

It was lame, but it's been like that for a while. The crowd react to what's on the pitch, and once Utd got going, so did the crowd. Not saying it's great though, it isn't. It was quiet at Wolves and Derby as well.

Their chants of "Sheffield's a shithole, I want to go home" have to be ironic. Luton is grim. A real armpit of a place. Theres a reason it's consistently in the worst places to live list.

Anyway, 2-0 and 25 shots on their goal says it all. An easy home win. Nothing to get excited about.

 

[BerksBlade]

Please tell me Luton fans weren't singing "we wanna go home, Sheffield's a shithole..."
Luton fans. That's fans from the town of Luton. Luton...
I'm not even sure whether there's a worse town in the country. Seriously.

Arguably Luton's near neighbour Dunstable is worse. But Luton is a genuine shithole for sure. Even Swindon is better.

Sorry but Luton we’re wasting time in the first half and trying to take momentum out of the game and quieten the crowd. Fair enough , as PH said post match we have to expect that and try and play our own game. But then in the second half they went two nil down and but seemed to go even slower. Luton totally gave up. It wasn’t even about trying to limit damage, they were either knackered, clueless or gave up. If I was a Luton supporter I would be more concerned about that than if our crowd was quieter than they expected

 

[knowsnowt]

Luton is the soiled gusset of the South.
I'd rather top myself than even pass through there.
Tramps.

I was on the back of the Kop. Didn't hear their fans once during the entire game. Admittedly we were poor also. However, times aren't great for us right now.
We've been relegated and now we're midtable and treading water.

Well I was sat above them and didn’t hear them once, first time this season that’s happened.

 

[wizadry]

Luton!

I’d rather watch my Brother and Sister shag than visit that shithole again.

 

[knowsnowt]

If you Google "nicest area of Luton" it returns no results.

 

[Gareth Kay]

Tend to agree with the atmosphere. In a way the we've become something we've never been. If more phones were lit up it would've be embarrassing

 

[Gareth Kay]

I only watched it on a stream but the atmosphere was very quiet. Been bad for about 18 months now.

Harsh when the first part had zero attendance

 

[100% part time blade]

Walking down to the ground today I mentioned how you don’t hear singing from home or away fans in the build up anymore. Did that stop when the incredibly loud tannoy started?

2 things I know about Luton. I went as a young un when we won 6.3 and you walked in past washing on the back garden. 2nd was the most intimated I've ever been. Huddersfield game at Wembley Sent us on a detour due to crash. We went past a big market next to kennelworth Road with men wearing robes shaking our mini bus, never again

Nicest area of Luton = the road out

 

[Wards]

We've won about ten games in 3 years, were they expecting us to be dancing in the gangways?

Yes, really weird that they slowed down even more at 2-0 down.

I haven’t seen teams do that since we were in L2 2016/17 when it was real damage limitation stuff.

 

[Reyt Then]

I think Luton made a bit of noise in the first half to be fair. The poor bit IMO was the collective 'oh fuck' when we went 2 up and lost their nerve... at least keep the noise up if you're away and you've spent the money. I'm sure whenever we were losing away in the Prem 2-0, which is the equivalent of Luton playing us, we'd still be chanting away like madmen.

[sheff_blade90]

im getting the feeling they didnt like us as fans

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Nice stuff weird one.

Not sure sneaking off onto Porktalk to make up the numbers is strictly needed.

 

[Hblockblade]

If only they could have put a few of those comments together, worst home support ive seen, prem team last year, playing Luton today

 

[jono_t2000]

 

[Davalon]

Did Yaxley-Lennon make the trip?

 

[S64 Blade]

Embarrassing fanbase ? Luton won't get 27,000 through the gate for the rest of the season .

Their highest ever attendance for a league game is 27,911… in 1955. I doubt they’ll ever get anywhere near that again.

 

[SUFCinks]

I live miles away, not far (but far enough) from luton in fairness. It’s a 270 mile round trip for a home game which is excessive.

View From Luton — The View From

roysviewfrom.com

A poor mans View From is doing the rounds on Porktalk. It differs slightly from Roy’s in that he gives as broad a range of comments, Blades shit, Blades fans shit, Wendy bigger etc times many,, it’s all positive from Oxford.

The View from the Opposition

I like to listen to the away commentary when we play away from home. Adds to the away atmosphere. Sometimes they are gloating and other times very biased but sometimes they make good points and it is interesting to see another pair of eyes perception of our play. Earlier in the season at Ipswich ...

The Preston commentary on Tuesday said Sharp and Brewster were the best partnership ever at Championship level. They aren't.

 

[Chimpan-A]

I won’t have this “yes, the crowd were shit today” nonsense. It was quiet because there was, and has been, nothing to sing about. The team need to galvanise the support.

If I watch a comedian, I don’t howl with laughter just because i’m there, I expect the jokes to make me laugh.

A 54 year old man loudly singing for no reason is either mentally I’ll or the lead singer of Metallica.

What was that all about. Talk about cringe, it reminded me of the pigs infamous light show which was extremely embarrassing for them. It’s a football match, not a boy band concert.
