I hated Luton as a kid in the mid/late eighties for some of the reasons above and i would probably still hate them now if they hadn't dissapeared up their own arse.
I hated Coventry too, more into the 90's though, and i see they too have disappeared up their own arse.
I had an on/off serious dislike for Wimbledon too back in the day, yet again their arse became their final resting place.
If only Man Utd would go the same way.

Apparently Luton have turned into the Manchester United of the lower divisions, taking thousands to places like Tamworth. 

Which is more than they used to take to Villa Park in the old First Division. 

T'was always them and Wimbledon who took ridiculously small allocations, usually less than 600.

My childhood/early ST holding life was haunted by MON's Leicester.  I can't remember the exact numbers but we either didn't beat them at home or at all for a huge run of games until a Tommy Hitz right footer from the edge of the area got us a win at their place I think.  Horrible team full of dirty gits like Savage and Dickov  Also didn't Ade Akenbeyi score his first goal in about a million games in front of the Holte End?  A toe poke from a yard whilst Dickov was fouling the keeper IIRC.

I'm upset they're back.

PS.  Howard Webb has retired. Very glad to see the back of him.

Another example of Luton. Playing the big I Am at Forest Green Rovers.

I have never forgiven Leicester for using the financial loophole of screwing the people they owed money to and then spending a fortune after it was settled.

They are the reason that points deductions for administration were brought in.

Farewell, Howard the Coward!

Hopefully, the glowing tributes on your retirement will not include recollections of the non-penaltyaward at Wembley in 2010.

A bottler when it counted.

He's talking about the FA Cup Semi against Chelsea where we didn't get a penalty. Dowd did award the penalty in the Carling Cup Final - he just didn't send Vidic off.

Don't forget horrible Taggert and Elliott, dirty bastards they were. We'd usually batter them for 90 minutes and end up losing.

Not jumping on the anti-Webb brigade.  He has consistently been on best officially, and by appearing in major finals and International tournaments has done this country proud.  He did have a lack luster season last year so it is maybe a good time to get out.

I am too young, but from the early 90s on it used to be full of the Gooch apparently, flashing their guns around the place.

Its apartments now. You can see it on the train just before Deans Gate on the way into Oxford Road.
