    There is no way in the world a police force would allow fans of Watford and Luton to mix, with alcohol, in a pub in town before the match. This will no doubt be changed. They wont want to have to deal with the inevitable problems if they dont take action. Wouldnt be surprised to see all pubs closed prior to the game.

    Official statement from the club now saying there will be dedicated routes away from the stadium for both sets of fans, which may be different and slightly longer than regular routes.

    But anyone who doesn’t want to partake can hang around in the stadium and wait a bit.

    Question is - where will these routes end and does police support for the routes continue around the town centre etc? Because they won’t be guiding them all the way back to L*ton.

    I tend to agree - there will be flash points. It’ll be about containing them.

    I imagine Luton fans will be taken along Vicarage Road towards the station with Watford fans directed out down Cardiff Road.

    Should be keeping the L*ton fans in the ground for at least half an hour and then bussing them out. I'm surprised that they haven't insisted on away tickets only being allocated with coach travel like the old days.

    It's going to be nasty - Millwall tonight will be like a trip to the opera in comparison.

    I cannot believe they are 7pts ahead of us....

    Luton? They are 4 points a head and we have the game in hand tonight?
    Blackburn are 7 points ahead

    Absolutely right.
    Regarding the opera I see Harry Cripps as Tosca.

    Omg so they are. I think I was suggesting if they beat us and we lose tonight they will be 7 ahead.

    Anyone with common sense would keep away fans in..

    I notice Swansea and Cardiff are playing as well - think they have a bubble system .

    If Hertfordshire police show the same level of decision making and strategic planning as Scott and Gino it could go pretty pear shaped.

    Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few of the police are looking forward to giving some Luton scum a good kicking. I'd also be surprised if there weren't at least a few hundred single brain celled Luton scum intent on violence. May well turn into a coppers v scum showdown.

    I think this is an excellent idea. Gives rival fans a chance to bond over a few beers and enjoy a laugh and exchange stories about the good old days. By the time game kicks off there will be Mexican Waves and communal songs about Franchise FC.

    Makes sense with Swansea v Cardiff on the main sky channel .

    Well anyone going I hope you are safe. I went to the league cup game, was a pretty terrifying experience (for a wet lettuce like me). I am though pleased I went, not living in the area I never fully felt the rivalry with them - all changed that day! Never felt an atmosphere like it from the second I stepped out into the town centre from the Harlequin car park.

    Can’t wait to see The 1881 charge at the Luton fans only to pull up with a hamstring injury.

    The only good that can come out of this is our Stone Island oddballs taking a good old beating. Nothing serious of course, just enough to put them back in their place for the rest of their life.

    I'm just waiting for the day we can download our online firm into organic robots and set them lose on the Migs, who by that time most likely all have free bus passes

    8A304DDF-699D-471E-9FAA-8B9C825788EA.jpeg Loads of our fans will probably be leaving before the end anyway!

    And the Luton fans will be waiting .

    Well I was already dreading the match on Sunday from a football standpoint and now this thread is making me nervous from a “will I get my head kicked in even though I am a middle aged woman” standpoint. Good times.

    Not right that you should be feeling like that in advance of the games, HH24, and I'm sorry that you do.

    It's very unlikely that you will find yourself in the midst of it, but were the worst to happen, I'd suggest keeping your hand on a bottle of perfume in your coat pocket and bringing a little fragrance to their eyeballs...

    Personally I'm not overly concerned about the threat from the Luton orcs but I do think it's absolutely astonishing that they're not going to be kept back for half an hour or so after the game to let us run away without engaging with them

    Ah but is it worse to have your head kicked in even though you’re a middle aged woman or not have your head kicked in because some Luton scummer takes pity on you as an old lady?

    I'd venture to say that more Watford fans have probably thrown a throw over a settee than thrown a punch in their lives, Lloyd...

    If Steal Clitty Gold is at the game Watford fans have nothing to worry about. The guy is hard as nails and will be attacking Luton fans with his boxes of dental floss.
