The mutants up the road

You may find a % of the attendees at the Vic agree with TR !

 

Yeah, you've posted that twice now.

There might be a percentage that agree with Stephen Yaxley-Lenon at the Vic but unlike our friends up the road they're not chanting about him at a football match. Best to keep that **** outside the stadium.

 

I hadn't considered that before, but I suppose there probably are a little tiny group of fascists amongst us. What a shame, eh? What a stain on our beautiful colours. What an insult to our history. Even we're not immune from infiltration by thicko bigoted quarter wits, oddball white supremacists and big mouth, pub-brave, fat-belly fackwits.

Like Luther and Barnsey never happened.

 

I don't think there is a bad enough disease out there for any of those caravan dwelling rent a mob fcuktards.

 

That has a certain lyrical ring to it EMiD!

 

I think the grudge is a lot more than 30 years old. I vaguely recall the centenary book mentioning how the Watford team went up there for an away game in horse and carriages at the turn of the century (19th to 20th) and got chased out of town.

Having witnessed previous violence up there it’s not something I want to see a repeat of but it is part of the history of Watford FC and it would be a shame to dismiss this rivalry as an irrelevance now we are a corporate premiership club. Because if you know your history it’s enough to make your heart go .........

 

When was the last time a Hatter came on here giving it large? I can't remember any in years. We seem to be constantly trolling Outlaws.

 

Like us their fans look for other rivals, for them it’s Stevenage but for most fans their main rivals remain us. Unfortunately I know some people that support them and I can assure you the rivalry has not moved on, it’s more like taken a back seat as we haven’t been in the same league but it most certainly still exists from both sides.
You may think we should move on but plenty do not

 

Not exactly a stellar argument. Red helmet is part of our history; don't mean you want him back.

To hold a 40 year old grudge because a Luton fan stole your scarf (as appears to be the case with one distinguished member here) seems all a bit silly to me.

 

I take it you've never been to a derby game at Kenilworth Road then?

 

I take it you are new to this forum then?

In fact, 'never been to a derby game at Kenilworth Road' is as limp, lame and pathetic as you can get.

 

You, who would waft away over a hundred years of rivalry as silly, call me limp, lame and pathetic. Pot calling kettle eh .

 

They had about for or five threads about the Spurs game, seems there is a bit of envy from being in our shadow for so long now. Bless.

 

Makes a nice change, usually they are all gushing over Tommy Robinson on there

 

Tell me all about your experiences there then. I have many well documented here, but you?

 

Is there a secret to viewing their shytty forum that doesn't make you think it was created last century because it is so un-user-friendly?

 

Nope. It's a perfect reflection of their ****** little club.

Just had a look now, check out the first thread topic.....the mutant's brains are degenerating at an alarming rate.

How long until we have a Luton Town player in mens' England squad? - Lutownian Today, 14:55:23 [poll]

 

Bernie Ecclestone is putting a block on the F1 track possibly?

 

I dunno, but I do know that them chanting tommy robinson's name at their matches is really jeopardising the whole thing. The dumb fux.

 

They don't have the money to build it and Gary Sweet's ego won't let him look for partners, ground-name sponsors etc

 

They still have the land at J10 but don't want to move the football club there. So their wizard wheeze is to flog that land for a retail development and then use the cash to build their new hovel in their town centre on an old bit of industrial waste ground. Problem is their local luxury shopping emporium objects to both the competition the out of town development will cause and the tens of Luton supporting wierdos and thousands of away fans who will flock through each week. I think they're worried it'll put the old dears off their Saturday afternoon shopping in Peacocks and Wilkos.

So they're in the middle of a long and tortuous planning process, with the shopping centre being the major objector. It has a few months to go yet though they'll likely get their new minuscule stadium.

 

I don't see why they don't want to go to the J10 plot, it allows away fans to get in and out quickly and saves them the bother of going near the hovel of a town.

 

I don't think moving out of town is popular with their fans. They'll get scared by the machines on wheels roaring past on the great grey river and the noisy metal birds flying low overhead. Plus their owners presumably don't have the £££ to build a new stadium without selling the prime land to fund it.

 

It seems to me that the most logical and sensible decision they could take would be to disband.

 

Indeed-its 16 years ago today that we played them in the league cup and lost 2-1 with the infamous pitch invasion and numerous other incidents in the town before and after. Although we played them twice in our play off promotion season 4 years later it seems such a long time ago you sort of miss them

 

What exactly would they be giving it large about? How they've only just managed to scrape into the third tier and support a club where the football is a sideshow to regular racist chanting?

 

A quick look at their amateurish little forum shows they are still banging on about that day as if its the greatest thing that ever happened to them (...oh, wait...)

There are kids starting apprenticeships now weren't even born then!

It must be gloomy up there, living in our shadow for all these years

 

You could have left it at "It must be gloomy up there"!

 

It is amazing the way our 2 worlds have diverged. 20 years ago it was nip and tuck over who would finish higher in the league. Now they have to just sit there and pray that we meet in a cup game and that we rest our first team.

 

Since we won the third tier in 1998 it's incredible to think that we've only met 3 times, the last being in April 2006. Anyone under the age of 27/28 probably wouldn't even recollect a match between the two teams.

 

And yet they are still the more successful club. Shameful really.

 

I would suggest that anything that happened thirty years ago has little value in a game of one-upmanship.
