Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Louzie0]

I sang with a band in the Luton area in the mid - late 70's and it was great. I'll always remember Luton.

You must have had a sheltered life lol

Back then, Luton was a cross-genre extravaganza, musically speaking. You just didn't know what would happen next.

When I first moved here, there were masses of pubs everywhere, was great atmosphere in town, how times have seemingly changed

I've visited sporadically over the last 25 years. Some high points, musically, some ...not so much.
Next visit is 23rd July though for the Villa! Are you going?

Am I the only person on this forum who hasn't lived in Luton?

Nope. I have been to the airport to drop off my mother in law with a 1 way ticket to Slovenia though.

Yes, will be going. Actually moved here towards the end of 1980's and shortly afterwards their wanker of a chairman brought in no away fans, but was always good to go in the ground and see villa fans there

I will be there with an old friend, season ticket holder. Perhaps PM closer to the match! UTV.

That would be good, please do so

I dreamt of the day when Luton was discussed on h and v, simple pleasures for a simple fella!

[Louzie0]

You could join us on the 23rd...all Luton aficionados are welcome

I was born in Luton in the late 1950s and lived in Arundel Road until moving to Heath & Reach just outside Leighton Buzzard in 1965. Very hazy memories of the place but the house was a three storey semi with an amazing attic conversion. I thought there was a little park near us across the main road and further down Arundel Road, a bakery which we used to pass going to junior school. I went back for the first time last September just on a whim,  the 'park' was a bowling club, and the bakery building was part of a big industrial park. One memory is crystal clear;  the people who lived next door to us had the most fuck off Vauxhall Cresta. I really enjoyed living in Heath & Reach too which is just inside Bedfordshire, so have happy memories of the county.

I didn't realise I was part of a secret conclave of Villans who have or now live in Bedfordshire. I like it here. We live in Clifton near to Shefford which is well known for being famous for absolutely nothing, apart from the obvious proud fact that Robert Bloomfield, pastoral poet, was born here, meh.

Nope. I have been to the airport to drop off my mother in law with a 1 way ticket to Slovenia though.

I don't think I have ever been to Bedfordshire.

I and my kids have been up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire thousands of times. Does that count?

[Malandro]

I've been to Luton airport and Luton bus station I think (Is that the place that looks like a war zone?)

[supertom]

This is what happens when we do so much transfer activity so early. We're seemingly on hiatus now until we get people out the club, and get certain people signed on for longer. The transfer thread has turned into "the history of Luton" thread.

I feel I'm missing out having not been there.

Been away from H @ V for a while, am I on the right site/thread?
