Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Chris_Jephcott]

I have been to Luton several times.

It's the only city in the UK where the speed cameras all face the same direction - away from the city*

*Grimsby is the same too, although you can debate whether it's a town or just a fishy smelling dump.

Leagrave is a quiet suburb...

Apparently, Luton is in London. Shouldn't really be surprised as Gatwick, West Sussex is also in London.

Not to mention Lydd.

And London Oxford Airport:

Let's face it... to be cool in the country, you have to have the word London in there somewhere.
Londoncentric cock monkeys.

I'm seriously surprised so many people know this much about Luton, live there or have visited it. I cannot comprehend how it's spread over 4 pages.

Perhaps they were Blackburn fans who had "taken the Holte"? I'd imagine they hate Yorkshire. And I think calling Mackems "Geordies" is acceptable, though inaccurate, as it winds them up.

I made my one up.

Typical bloody Solihull behaviour.

Of course I wasn't too embarrassed to hit anyone.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

It's all dogheads and carrier bags in that area i think.

Ye think your right but I am hoping on a Saturday there might be a haven where I can escape !!

Have a look on the CAMRA guide. There is bound to be a decent boozer showing footy in there.

On CAMRA mentioned a pub called "Nickelodeon" in Bentley Bridge. Sounds ok for football but unlikely to have any Villa connections. Cheers anyway .....

I know and we haven't even mentioned Paul Young yet.

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.

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

You have, probably without realising. It's like that, more than any other English county. How often have you used the M1? Ever needed a burger, a pee, a latte or a cheap folding campchair then spotted services named Toddington?

Yet, with a train station on the BedPan line. I lived in nearby Sundon Park from the age of about 2 to 8.

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.

I coached footy all around mid beds for 4 years, Clifford, shefford, sandy, Leighton buzzard, great gransden, etc. lots of good places and memories.

[Rotterdam]

I played football for a team in the South Mids league and confirm Luton is a dive.
The cricket club is on the outskirts of the town and is very agreeable.

As I said earlier I have very happy memories of living just outside Leighton Buzzard in the mid sixties. Its probably set for some publicity in August to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Great Train Robbery which happened at Bridego Bridge, just a couple of miles outside the town. We used to cycle down to the Bridge as kids. Ironically, the first person I met at school in Leamington when we left  Heath & Reach now lives there. Funny old game.

I'm so impressed with all the Luton chat I have investigated the hire of a charrabanc to tour its finest high spots.

We can call in at Milton Keynes for cultural activities and Bicester for shopping if so desired limited seats available

Curtis Eugene Davies played for Luton and he played for Villa he now fins himself transfered to Hull. When he visits Luton he goes to Hull and back. Not sure which is nicer
