    With the club welcoming Manchester City and Arsenal this month already, it's also been a chance for travelling supporters to experience Kenilworth Road - the league's smallest ground and one that harks back to football's old days.
    But can Luton thrive in the top flight?

    Luton is my new favorite in the Premiere League. I didn't know where the city was exactly because I don't live in the country, but I took it to my heart. What team spirit, bravery and willingness to fight! Larger teams can follow an example of Luton.

    Bournemouth itself is a miracle club suffering a worse fate than Luton (potential extinction as a club) but in a short 6 years they went from bottom of League 2 to champions of the Championship and won promotion in the premier league (and the first flight) for the first time in their History.

It just grew and now clubs with more funds buy better players. What they really need to do is find someone with the funds, willing to invest for them to grow as well. They will recover the investment for sure. Especially if they battle for top 5-6 position
