**Luton Town Football Club** is a professional [football](/source/Association_football) club from [Luton](/source/Luton), Bedfordshire, England. The club currently competes in [EFL League One](/source/EFL_League_One), the third tier of the [English football league system](/source/English_football_league_system). Nicknamed "The Hatters", Luton have played their home games at [Kenilworth Road](/source/Kenilworth_Road) since 1905.[3]

Luton Town joined the [Football League](/source/English_Football_League) before the [1897–98 season](/source/1897%E2%80%9398_Football_League) but left soon after in 1900 due to financial issues. The club did not rejoin the League until 1920. Luton competed in the [First Division](/source/Football_League_First_Division) for the first time during the [1955–56 season](/source/1955%E2%80%9356_in_English_football) and contested a major final for the first time against [Nottingham Forest](/source/Nottingham_Forest_F.C.) in the [1959 FA Cup final](/source/1959_FA_Cup_final). The club was then relegated from the First Division at the end of the [1959–60 season](/source/1959%E2%80%9360_in_English_football), and further relegated twice more in five years, playing in the [Fourth Division](/source/Football_League_Fourth_Division) from the [1965–66 season](/source/1965%E2%80%9366_in_English_football), before returning to the First Division for the [1974–75 season](/source/1974%E2%80%9375_Luton_Town_F.C._season) for a single season.

At the end of the [1981–82 season](/source/1981%E2%80%9382_Football_League), the club won the [Second Division](/source/Football_League_Second_Division) and gained promotion to the First Division. Several years later, Luton defeated [Arsenal](/source/Arsenal_F.C.) 3–2 in the [1988 Football League Cup final](/source/1988_Football_League_Cup_final) and remained in the First Division until relegation at the end of the [1991–92 season](/source/1991%E2%80%9392_Luton_Town_F.C._season).

Between 2007 and 2009, financial difficulties caused the club to fall from the second tier of English football to the fifth in successive seasons. The last of these relegations, in the [2008–09 season](/source/2008%E2%80%9309_Luton_Town_F.C._season), followed a 30-point deduction for financial irregularities. Luton spent five seasons in [non-League football](/source/Non-League_football) before winning the [Conference Premier](/source/National_League_(division)) in the [2013–14 season](/source/2013%E2%80%9314_Luton_Town_F.C._season), securing promotion back into the Football League. Luton was promoted from [League Two](/source/EFL_League_Two) and [League One](/source/EFL_League_One) in successive seasons in [2017–18](/source/2017%E2%80%9318_Luton_Town_F.C._season) and [2018–19](/source/2018%E2%80%9319_Luton_Town_F.C._season) before being promoted to the [Premier League](/source/Premier_League) at the conclusion of the [2023 Championship playoffs](/source/2022%E2%80%9323_EFL_Championship). After spending a season in the Premier League, Luton saw two back-to-back relegations, seeing them play in League One for the [2025–26 season](/source/2025%E2%80%9326_EFL_League_One).

## History

### Formation and election to the Southern League (1885–1890)

Luton Town Football Club was founded on 11 April 1885.[4][5] Prior to its formation, there were many other football clubs in the town, the most prominent of which were Luton Wanderers and Luton Excelsior. A Wanderers player, George Deacon, came up with the idea of a 'Town' club which would include all the best players in Luton. Wanderers secretary Herbert Spratley seized upon Deacon's idea and arranged a secret meeting on 13 January 1885 at St Matthew's School in [High Town](/source/High_Town,_Luton), near the [railway station](/source/Luton_railway_station). The Wanderers committee resolved to rename the club Luton Town—which was not well received by the wider community. The local newspapers referred to the club as 'Luton Town (late Wanderers)'. When George Deacon and John Charles Lomax then arranged a public meeting with the purpose of forming a 'Luton Town Football Club', Spratley protested, saying there was already a Luton Town club; and the atmosphere was tense when the meeting convened in the town hall on 11 April 1885. The meeting, attended by most football lovers in the town, heard about Spratley's secret January meeting and voted down his objections. The motion to form a 'Luton Town Football Club', put forward by GH Small and seconded by EH Lomax, was carried. A club committee was elected by ballot and the team colours were agreed to be pink and dark blue shirts and caps.[6]

Initially based at Excelsior's ground, [Dallow Lane](/source/Dallow_Lane),[5] Luton Town began making payments to certain individual players in 1890. The following year, Luton became the first club in [southern England](/source/Southern_England) to be fully professional.[7] The club was a founder member of the [Southern Football League](/source/Southern_Football_League) in the [1894–95 season](/source/1894%E2%80%9395_Football_League) and finished as runners-up in its first two seasons. It then left to help form the [United League](/source/United_League_(football)) and came second in that league's inaugural season before joining [the Football League](/source/English_Football_League) (then based mostly in [northern](/source/Northern_England) and [central England](/source/Midlands)) for the [1897–98 season](/source/1897%E2%80%9398_Football_League),[8] concurrently moving to a new ground, [Dunstable Road](/source/Dunstable_Road).[9] The club continued to enter a team to the United League for two more seasons, winning the title in the1897–98 season.[8][10] Poor attendance, high wages, in addition to the high travel and accommodation costs that resulted from Luton's distance from the northern heartlands of the Football League crippled the club financially;[10] it became too expensive to compete in that league.[10] A return to the Southern League was therefore arranged for the [1900–01 season](/source/1900%E2%80%9301_Southern_Football_League).[8][10]

### Early 20th century (1900–1950)

Luton moved into their current ground, [Kenilworth Road](/source/Kenilworth_Road), in 1905 after having spent eight years at [Dunstable Road](/source/Dunstable_Road).[7] [Captain](/source/Captain_(association_football)) and [left winger](/source/Midfielder#Winger) [Bob Hawkes](/source/Robert_Hawkes) became Luton's first international player when he was picked to play for [England](/source/England_national_football_team) against [Ireland](/source/Ireland_national_football_team_(1882%E2%80%931950)) on 16 February 1907.[11] A poor [1911–12 season](/source/1911%E2%80%9312_Southern_Football_League) saw Luton relegated to the Southern League's Second Division; the club won promotion back two years later.[8][12] After the [First World War](/source/First_World_War) broke out, Luton took part in [The London Combination](/source/The_Football_Combination) during the [1915–16 season](/source/1915%E2%80%9316_in_English_football), and afterwards filled each season with [friendly matches](/source/Exhibition_game).[13][14] A key player of the period was [Ernie Simms](/source/Ernie_Simms), a [forward](/source/Forward_(association_football)). Simms was invalided back to England after being wounded on the [Italian front](/source/Italian_Front_(World_War_I)),[12][14] but recovered enough to regain his place in the Luton team and scored 40 goals during the [1916–17 season](/source/1916%E2%80%9317_in_English_football).[12]

The Luton side first played in the white and black colours which it retained for much of its history during the [1920–21 season](/source/1920%E2%80%9321_in_English_football), when the club rejoined the Football League;[15] the players had previously worn an assortment of colour combinations, most permanently [sky blue](/source/Sky_blue) shirts with white shorts and navy socks.[16] Such was the quality of Luton's team at this time that despite playing in the third tier, a fixture between Ireland and England at [Windsor Park](/source/Windsor_Park) on 22 October 1921 saw three Luton players on the pitch—[Louis Bookman](/source/Louis_Bookman) and [Allan Mathieson](/source/Allan_Mathieson) for Ireland, and the club's top goalscorer, Simms, for England.[17][18] However, after Luton finished fourth in the division, the squad was broken up as Simms, Bookman and Mathieson joined [South Shields](/source/South_Shields_F.C._(1889)), [Port Vale](/source/Port_Vale_F.C.) and [Exeter City](/source/Exeter_City_F.C.) respectively.[18][19] Luton stayed in the [Third Division South](/source/Football_League_Third_Division_South) until [1936–37](/source/1936%E2%80%9337_in_English_football), when the team finished top and won promotion to the [Second Division](/source/Football_League_Second_Division).[20] During the promotion season, [striker](/source/Forward_(association_football)) [Joe Payne](/source/Joe_Payne_(footballer,_born_1914)) scored 55 goals in 39 games; during the previous season he had scored 10 in one match against [Bristol Rovers](/source/Bristol_Rovers_F.C.), which remains a Football League record today.[21] Towards the end on the 1936-37 season [Eddie Parris](/source/Eddie_Parris) became the first Black player to represent Luton when he made his debut on 13 March 1937 in a home game against [Northampton Town](/source/Northampton_Town).[22]

### Success under Duncan and relegation (1950–1965)

During the early 1950s, one of Luton's greatest sides[23] emerged under manager, [Dally Duncan](/source/Dally_Duncan).[24] The team included [Gordon Turner](/source/Gordon_Turner), who went on to become Luton's all-time top goalscorer,[25] [Bob Morton](/source/Bob_Morton_(footballer,_born_1927)), who holds the record for the most club appearances[26] and [Syd Owen](/source/Syd_Owen), an England international.[27] During this period, Luton sides also featured two England international goalkeepers, [Ron Baynham](/source/Ron_Baynham) and [Bernard Streten](/source/Bernard_Streten),[28][29] as well as [Irish internationals](/source/Republic_of_Ireland_national_football_team) [Seamus Dunne](/source/Seamus_Dunne),[30] [Tom Aherne](/source/Tom_Aherne) and [George Cummins](/source/George_Cummins_(footballer)).[31][32] This team reached the [First Division](/source/Football_League_First_Division) for the first time at the end of the [1955–56 season](/source/1955%E2%80%9356_in_English_football), having finished in second place behind [Birmingham City](/source/Birmingham_City_F.C.) on [goal difference](/source/Goal_difference).[33] A few years of success followed, including an [FA Cup Final appearance](/source/FA_Cup_Final_1959) against [Nottingham Forest](/source/Nottingham_Forest_F.C.) in the [1958–59 season](/source/1958%E2%80%9359_in_English_football)[34] where Owen was voted [FWA Footballer of the Year](/source/FWA_Footballer_of_the_Year).[35] However, the club was relegated the following season and, by the [1964–65 season](/source/1964%E2%80%9365_in_English_football), was playing in the [Fourth Division](/source/Football_League_Fourth_Division).[36]

### Back to the first tier and late century success (1965–1992)

In [yo-yo club](/source/Yo-yo_club) fashion, Luton were to return. A team including [Bruce Rioch](/source/Bruce_Rioch), [John Moore](/source/John_Moore_(footballer,_born_December_1943)) and [Graham French](/source/Graham_French) won the Fourth Division championship in the [1967–68 season](/source/1967%E2%80%9368_in_English_football) under the leadership of former player [Allan Brown](/source/Allan_Brown_(footballer,_born_1926));[8] two years later [Malcolm Macdonald](/source/Malcolm_Macdonald)'s goals helped them to another promotion,[37] while comedian [Eric Morecambe](/source/Eric_Morecambe) became a director of the club.[37] Luton Town won promotion back to the First Division at the end of the [1973–74 season](/source/1973%E2%80%9374_Football_League), but were relegated [the following season](/source/1974%E2%80%9375_Luton_Town_F.C._season) by a solitary point.[8][38] Former Luton player [David Pleat](/source/David_Pleat) was made manager in 1978, and by the [1982–83 season](/source/1982%E2%80%9383_in_English_football) the team was back in the top flight.[8] The team which Pleat assembled at Kenilworth Road was notable at the time for the number of Black players it included; during an era when many English squads were almost entirely white, Luton often fielded a mostly black team. Talented players such as [Ricky Hill](/source/Ricky_Hill), [Brian Stein](/source/Brian_Stein) and [Emeka Nwajiobi](/source/Emeka_Nwajiobi) made key contributions to the club's success during this period,[39] causing it to accrue "a richer history of black stars than any in the country", in the words of journalist Gavin Willacy.[40]

On the last day of the 1982–83 season, the club's first back in the top tier, it narrowly escaped relegation: playing [Manchester City](/source/Manchester_City_F.C.) at [Maine Road](/source/Maine_Road), Luton needed to win to stay up, while City could escape with a draw.[41] A late winner by [Yugoslavian](/source/Socialist_Federal_Republic_of_Yugoslavia) substitute [Raddy Antić](/source/Radomir_Anti%C4%87) saved the team and prompted Pleat to dance across the pitch performing a "jig of joy",[41] an image that has become [iconic](/source/Icon).[42] The club achieved its highest ever league position, seventh, under [John Moore](/source/John_Moore_(footballer,_born_December_1943)) in the [1986–87 season](/source/1986%E2%80%9387_Luton_Town_F.C._season),[43] and, managed by [Ray Harford](/source/Ray_Harford), won the [Football League Cup](/source/Football_League_Cup) a year later with a [3–2 win](/source/1988_Football_League_Cup_Final) over [Arsenal](/source/Arsenal_F.C.). With ten minutes left on the clock and Arsenal 2–1 ahead, a penalty save from stand-in goalkeeper [Andy Dibble](/source/Andy_Dibble) sparked a late Luton rally: [Danny Wilson](/source/Danny_Wilson_(footballer,_born_1960)) equalised, before [Brian Stein](/source/Brian_Stein) scored the winner with the last kick of the match.[8][44][45] The club reached the [League Cup Final](/source/1989_Football_League_Cup_Final) once more in the [1988–89 season](/source/1988%E2%80%9389_Luton_Town_F.C._season), but lost 3–1 to [Nottingham Forest](/source/Nottingham_Forest_F.C.).[8]

### Resurgence and fall to non-League (1992–2009)

The club was relegated from the top division at the end of the [1991–92 season](/source/1991%E2%80%9392_Luton_Town_F.C._season),[8] and sank to the third tier [four years later](/source/1995%E2%80%9396_Luton_Town_F.C._season).[8][46] Luton stayed in the third-tier Second Division until relegation at the end of the [2000–01 season](/source/2000%E2%80%9301_Luton_Town_F.C._season).[47] Under the management of [Joe Kinnear](/source/Joe_Kinnear), who had arrived halfway through the previous season,[48] the team won promotion from the fourth tier at the first attempt.[8] "Controversial"[49] owner [John Gurney](/source/John_Gurney_(football_chairman)) unsettled the club in 2003,[49] terminating Kinnear's contract on his arrival in May;[49][50] Gurney replaced Kinnear with [Mike Newell](/source/Mike_Newell_(footballer)) before leaving Luton as the club entered [administration](/source/Administration_(law)).[49][51] Newell's team finished as champions of the rebranded third-tier [Football League One](/source/Football_League_One) in [2004–05](/source/2004%E2%80%9305_Luton_Town_F.C._season).[8][52]

While Newell's place was taken first by [Kevin Blackwell](/source/Kevin_Blackwell) and later former player [Mick Harford](/source/Mick_Harford),[53][54] the team was then relegated twice in a row, starting in [2006–07](/source/2006%E2%80%9307_Luton_Town_F.C._season), and spent the latter part of the [2007–08 season](/source/2007%E2%80%9308_Luton_Town_F.C._season) in administration, thus incurring a ten-point deduction from that season's total.[8][55] The club then had a total of 30 points docked from its [2008–09](/source/2008%E2%80%9309_Luton_Town_F.C._season) record by [the Football Association](/source/The_Football_Association) and the Football League for financial irregularities dating back several years.[56] These deductions proved to be too large an obstacle to overcome,[57] but Luton came from behind in the final of the [Football League Trophy](/source/Football_League_Trophy) to win the competition for the first time.[58]

### Non-league to Premier League (2009–2024)

Relegation meant that the [2009–10 season](/source/2009%E2%80%9310_Luton_Town_F.C._season) saw Luton playing in the [Conference Premier](/source/Conference_Premier), a competition in which the club had never before participated. The club unsuccessfully contested the promotion play-offs three times in four seasons during their time as a non-League club, employing five different managers. In the [2012–13 FA Cup](/source/2012%E2%80%9313_FA_Cup) fourth round, Luton won their [away tie](/source/Norwich_City_F.C._0%E2%80%931_Luton_Town_F.C._(2013)) against [Premier League](/source/Premier_League) club [Norwich City](/source/Norwich_City_F.C.) 1–0 and, in doing so, became the first non-League team to beat a side from England's top division since 1989.[59]

In the [2013–14 season](/source/2013%E2%80%9314_Luton_Town_F.C._season), under the management of [John Still](/source/John_Still_(footballer)), Luton won the Conference Premier title with three games to spare, and thereby secured a return to the Football League for the [2014–15 season](/source/2014%E2%80%9315_Luton_Town_F.C._season).[60] After reaching the [League Two play-offs](/source/EFL_League_Two_play-offs) during the [2016–17 season](/source/2016%E2%80%9317_Luton_Town_F.C._season),[61] when they were beaten 6–5 [on aggregate](/source/Aggregate_score) by [Blackpool](/source/Blackpool_F.C.) in the semi-final,[62] Luton were promoted back to [League One](/source/EFL_League_One) the [following season](/source/2017%E2%80%9318_Luton_Town_F.C._season) as runners-up.[63][64] Luton achieved a second successive promotion at the end of the [2018–19 season](/source/2018%E2%80%9319_Luton_Town_F.C._season), after they won the League One title, marking the club's return to the [Championship](/source/EFL_Championship) after a 12-year absence.[65][66] Luton reached the [Championship play-offs](/source/2022_English_Football_League_play-offs) in [2021–22](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_Luton_Town_F.C._season), where they were beaten 2–1 on aggregate by [Huddersfield Town](/source/Huddersfield_Town_A.F.C.) in the semi-final.[67]

At the end of the [2022–23 season](/source/2022%E2%80%9323_Luton_Town_F.C._season), Luton Town secured a consecutive place in the Championship play-offs having finished in 3rd place.[68] Luton Town beat [Sunderland](/source/Sunderland_A.F.C.) 3–2 on aggregate in the play-off semi-finals to reach the play-off final against [Coventry City](/source/Coventry_City_F.C.).[69] They went on to beat Coventry City 6–5 on penalties after a tense 1–1 draw to secure promotion to the [Premier League](/source/Premier_League) for the first time.[70] After collecting one point in their first five matches of the season, Luton won their first Premier League game on 30 September 2023, beating [Everton](/source/Everton_F.C.) 2–1 away at [Goodison Park](/source/Goodison_Park).[71] After a stable first half of the season, the club's form significantly regressed after January, winning one in seventeen matches before being relegated in May 2024.[72]

### Back-to-back relegation to League One (2024–present)

On 3 May 2025, a second successive relegation put Luton back in League One after losing 5–3 on the final day to [West Bromwich Albion](/source/West_Bromwich_Albion).[73] Despite compiling 49 points and equaling Hull City's total, their inferior goal difference resulted in them finishing 22nd.

Luton parted ways with head coach [Matt Bloomfield](/source/Matt_Bloomfield) on 6 October 2025. Bloomfield was sacked by Luton after a bad run of games, leaving the club in 11th place in the league. [Jack Wilshere](/source/Jack_Wilshere) was appointed manager on 13 October 2025.[74] On 12 April 2026, Luton achieved a 3–1 victory over [Stockport County](/source/Stockport_County_F.C.) in the [2026 EFL Trophy final](/source/2026_EFL_Trophy_final), winning the competition for the first time since [2009](/source/2009_Football_League_Trophy_final).[75] Despite a run of 12 games unbeaten towards the end of the season, Luton failed to make the play-off spots due to a late goal against [Wigan Athletic](/source/Wigan_Athletic_F.C.) by [Stevenage](/source/Stevenage_F.C.). Luton finished the [2025–26 season](/source/2025%E2%80%9326_Luton_Town_F.C._season) in 7th place.[76]

## Club identity

### Badge

Luton Town have traditionally used the town's [crest](/source/Crest_(heraldry)) as its own in a manner similar to many other teams. The club's first badge was a white [eight-pointed star](/source/Octagram), which was emblazoned across the team's shirts (then a deep [cochineal](/source/Cochineal) red) in 1892. Four years later, a crest comprising the club's initials intertwined was briefly adopted. The shirts were thereafter plain until 1933, when Luton first adopted a badge depicting a [straw boater](/source/Boater). The club's initials were again added in 1935, with this basic design remaining until 1947. The club then played without a badge until 1970, when the club began to wear the town crest regularly, having first done so in the [1959 FA Cup Final](/source/1959_FA_Cup_final).[77]

In 1973, concurrently with the club's switch from a white to an orange kit, a new badge was introduced featuring the club's new colours. The new emblem depicted a stylised orange [football](/source/Football_(ball)), bearing the letters "Lt", surrounded by the club's name in navy blue text.[77] In 1987, the club switched back to a derivative of the town crest, with the shield portion of the heraldic crest becoming the team's badge; the only similarity with the previous design was the inclusion of the club name around the shield in navy blue. The "rainbow" badge, introduced in 1994, featured the town crest below an orange and blue bow which curved around to meet two footballs, positioned on either side of the shield, with the club name underneath.[77] This badge was used until 2005, when a replacement very similar to the 1987 version was adopted, featuring black text rather than blue and a straw boater in place of the outstretched arm depicted in the older design. The club's founding year, 1885, was added in 2008.[16] The badge was altered to its current form during the [2009–10](/source/2009%E2%80%9310_Luton_Town_F.C._season) pre-season, with the red of the town crest being replaced with orange to better reflect the club colours, as well as the font having been modernised.[78]

### Kit

The club is associated with two very different colour schemes—white and black (first permanently adopted in 1920), and orange, navy and white (first used in 1973). Luton mainly wore a combination of light blue and white before 1920, when white shirts and black shorts were first adopted. These colours were retained for over half a century, with the colour of the socks varying between white and black, until Luton changed to orange, navy and white at the start of the [1973–74 season](/source/1973%E2%80%9374_in_English_football). Luton began playing in white shirts, shorts and socks in 1979, with the orange and navy motif reduced to trim; navy shorts were adopted in 1984. This palette was retained until the [1999–2000 season](/source/1999%E2%80%932000_Luton_Town_F.C._season), when the team played in orange shirts and blue shorts. From 2000 to 2008, Luton returned to white shirts and black shorts; orange was included as trim until 2007. The white, navy and orange palette favoured in the 1980s was brought back in 2008, following the results of a club poll,[79] but a year later the colours were changed yet again, this time to a predominantly orange strip with white shorts.[80] Navy shorts were readopted in 2011.

### Pop culture

The club released the song "Hatters, Hatters", a collaboration between the Luton team and the Bedfordshire-based musical comedy group [The Barron Knights](/source/The_Barron_Knights), in 1974.[96] Eight years later another song featuring vocals by the Luton players, "We're Luton Town", was released to celebrate the club's promotion to the [First Division](/source/Football_League_First_Division).[97]

## Stadia

Main articles: [Dallow Lane](/source/Dallow_Lane), [Dunstable Road](/source/Dunstable_Road) and [Kenilworth Road](/source/Kenilworth_Road)

Luton Town's first ground was at [Dallow Lane](/source/Dallow_Lane), the former ground of Luton Excelsior.[5] The ground was next to the old [Hertford, Luton and Dunstable Railway](/source/Hertford,_Luton_and_Dunstable_Railway) line, and players regularly claimed to have trouble seeing the ball due to smoke from the trains.[9] A damaging financial loss during [1896–97](/source/1896%E2%80%9397_in_English_football) forced Luton to sell the stadium to stay afloat and, as a result, the club moved across the tracks to a stadium between the railway and Dunstable Road.[9]

The [Dunstable Road](/source/Dunstable_Road) ground was opened by [Herbrand Russell, 11th Duke of Bedford](/source/Herbrand_Russell,_11th_Duke_of_Bedford), who also donated £50 towards the £800 building costs.[9] When the site was sold for housing in 1905, the club was forced to move again at short notice to its present [Kenilworth Road](/source/Kenilworth_Road) site in time for the start of the [1905–06 season](/source/1905%E2%80%9306_in_English_football).[7][9]

Kenilworth Road has an all-seater capacity of 12,056[98] and is situated in the [Bury Park](/source/Bury_Park) area of [Luton](/source/Luton). It was named after the road that runs along one end of it, although the official address of the club is 1 Maple Road. Opposite the eponymous Kenilworth Stand is the Oak Road End, which has evolved from a stand first used exclusively by Luton supporters, then later by away supporters, and now used by both except in times of high ticket demand from away clubs. The Main Stand is flanked by the [David Preece](/source/David_Preece_(footballer,_born_1963)) Stand, and opposite them stands a row of [executive boxes](/source/Luxury_box). These boxes replaced the Bobbers Stand in 1986, as the club sought to maximise income.[99]

The original Main Stand burnt down in 1921, and was replaced by the current stand before the [1922–23 season](/source/1922%E2%80%9323_in_English_football). The ground underwent extensive redevelopment during the 1930s, with the capacity by the start of the [Second World War](/source/Second_World_War) being 30,000. [Floodlights](/source/Floodlights_(sport)) were installed before the [1953–54 season](/source/1953%E2%80%9354_in_English_football), but it was 20 years before any further modernisation was carried out. In 1973, the Bobbers Stand became all-seated, and in 1985 the grass pitch was replaced with an [artificial playing surface](/source/Artificial_turf); it quickly became unpopular and was derided as "the plastic pitch".[18][99][100][101]

A [serious incident involving hooliganism](/source/1985_Kenilworth_Road_riot) before, during and after a match against [Millwall](/source/Millwall_F.C.) in 1985 led to the club's then chairman, [Conservative](/source/Conservative_Party_(UK)) [Member of Parliament](/source/Member_of_Parliament_(United_Kingdom)), [David Evans](/source/David_Evans_(MP_for_Welwyn_Hatfield)), introducing a scheme effective from the start of [1986–87](/source/1986%E2%80%9387_Luton_Town_F.C._season) supposedly banning all visiting supporters from the ground, and requiring home fans to carry membership cards when attending matches.[102] Conversion to an all-seater ground also began in 1986.[99] Away fans returned for [1990–91](/source/1990%E2%80%9391_Luton_Town_F.C._season),[103] and grass a year later.[104] The David Preece Stand was erected in 1991, and the conversion of the Kenilworth Stand to an all-seater was completed in 2005.[99]

### New stadium

Main article: [Power Court Stadium](/source/Power_Court_Stadium)

The club first expressed an interest in building a new stadium away from Kenilworth Road in 1955, the year it won promotion to the First Division for the first time. Even then the ground was small compared to those of most First and Second Division clubs, and its location made significant redevelopment difficult. The team has since made several attempts to relocate.[33] Leaving Luton for the nearby new town of [Milton Keynes](/source/Milton_Keynes) was unsuccessfully [proposed](/source/Relocation_of_Wimbledon_F.C._to_Milton_Keynes#Luton_Town—"MK_Hatters"_(1980s)) several times, most notably in the 1980s.[105] The club sold Kenilworth Road to Luton Council in 1989, and has since leased it.[106] A planning application for a new 20,000-seater indoor stadium, the "Kohlerdome" proposed by chairman [David Kohler](/source/David_Kohler_(developer)) in 1995, was turned down by the [Secretary of State](/source/Secretary_of_State_(United_Kingdom)) in 1998, and Kohler left soon after.[107]

In 2007, the club's then-owners proposed a controversial plan to relocate to a site near Junction 12 of the [M1 motorway](/source/M1_motorway_(England)), near [Harlington](/source/Harlington,_Bedfordshire) and [Toddington](/source/Toddington,_Bedfordshire).[108] A planning application was made on the club's behalf by former chairman Cliff Bassett, but the application was withdrawn almost immediately following the club's takeover in 2008.[109][110] In 2009, the club began an independent feasibility study to determine a viable location to move to.[111][112] The club did not rule out redeveloping Kenilworth Road and, in October 2012, entered talks to buy the stadium back from Luton Borough Council.[106] By 2015, these plans had been dropped in favour of a move to a new location, with managing director Gary Sweet confirming that the club was in a position to "buy land, secure the best possible professional advice ... and to see the [planning] application process through to the receipt of consent."[113]

In April 2016, the club announced its intention to build and move into a 17,500-capacity stadium on the Power Court site in central Luton.[114] Outline planning permission for this ground, with potential to expand to 23,000 seats, was granted by Luton Borough Council on 16 January 2019.[115] In March 2021, the club announced that it intended to make a number of changes to the initial scheme to reflect changes caused by the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic_in_England), but that the capacity of the new stadium was still to be 23,000 and had a target opening date of 2024.[116] This plan was revised in 2023, to delivering the first phase, a 19,500-seat stadium, by 2026, followed by the second, a further 4,000 safe standing seats, at a later date.[117][118] In September 2024, the club submitted revised plans to the Luton Borough Council for a 25,000 stadium with a planned opening date of 2027.[119][120] The council approved the plans in January 2025.[121] In April 2025, Turkish contractor [Limak International](/source/Limak_Holding) was appointed to build the new stadium, with construction starting in summer 2025 and the stadium, currently called [Power Court Stadium](/source/Power_Court_Stadium), is now set to hold its first competitive game at the start of the 2028–29 season.[122][123]

## Supporters and rivalries

### Supporters

The club's nickname, "the Hatters", reflects Luton's historical connection with the [hat making](/source/Hatmaking) trade, which has been prominent there since the 17th century.[124][125] Supporters of the club are also called Hatters.[126]

During the [2014–15 season](/source/2014%E2%80%9315_Luton_Town_F.C._season), Luton Town had an average home league attendance of 8,702—the second highest in [League Two](/source/EFL_League_Two) behind only [Portsmouth](/source/Portsmouth_F.C.). In the [2013–14 season](/source/2013%E2%80%9314_Luton_Town_F.C._season), when the club were in the [Conference Premier](/source/Conference_Premier), the club had significantly higher support than the other clubs in its league, with an average home attendance of 7,387; more than twice compared to the second highest of 3,568. Average attendances at Kenilworth Road fell with the installation of seats and the club's reduction in stature, dropping from 13,452 in [1982–83](/source/1982%E2%80%9383_in_English_football) to their 2014–15 level—a slump of 35% over 32 years.[127] The [Luton Town Supporters' Trust](/source/Luton_Town_Supporters'_Trust) owns shares in the club and elects a representative to the club's board.[128][129] The club is associated with another supporters' group, the breakaway Loyal Luton Supporters Club.[130] The trust has, since March 2014, held the legal right to veto any changes to the club's identity, including name, nickname, colours, club crest and mascot.[131]

The club produces an official match programme for home matches, entitled *Our Town*.[132] A character known as Happy Harry, a smiling man wearing a straw boater, serves as the team's mascot and appears on the Kenilworth Road pitch before matches.[133] In December 2014, after the seafront [statue of Eric Morecambe](/source/Statue_of_Eric_Morecambe) in his birthplace [Morecambe](/source/Morecambe) was restored, Luton and [Morecambe F.C.](/source/Morecambe_F.C.) jointly announced that the winners of future Luton–Morecambe fixtures would be awarded the "Eric Morecambe Trophy".[134]

### Rivalries

Main article: [Luton Town F.C.–Watford F.C. rivalry](/source/Luton_Town_F.C.%E2%80%93Watford_F.C._rivalry)

Luton Town supporters maintain a bitter rivalry with [Hertfordshire](/source/Hertfordshire)-based [Watford](/source/Watford_F.C.).[135][136][137] Watford were the higher ranked team at the end of every season from 1997 until 2022. However, overall Luton still hold the superior record in the fixture between the two clubs; out of 120 competitive matches there have been 55 Luton victories and 38 for Watford, with 29 draws. The 2003 [Football Fans Census](/source/Football_Fans_Census) showed that there was also animosity between Luton Town fans and those of west London club [Queens Park Rangers](/source/Queens_Park_Rangers_F.C.).[135] The fans also maintain a friendly relationship with Dutch side [Go Ahead Eagles](/source/Go_Ahead_Eagles).

### Hooliganism

Further information: [1985 Luton riot](/source/1985_Luton_riot) and [Luton Town MIGs](/source/Luton_Town_MIGs)

Luton Town FC and its supporter base has had a prolonged history with [football hooliganism](/source/Football_hooliganism). Incidents of violence date back at least to the 1980s, with the most notorious early example, the [1985 Luton riot](/source/1985_Luton_riot), occurring on 13 March 1985 during the FA Cup sixth round tie against [Millwall](/source/Millwall_F.C.).[138] Millwall fans overwhelmed their allocated stand at Kenilworth Road, throwing bottles, billiard balls, and other objects at Luton supporters and police, while players and officials were forced to take cover. The match was halted for 25 minutes due to pitch encroachment, and the disorder extended into Luton town centre, resulting in around 47 hospitalisations and 31 arrests. The scale of violence contributed to subsequent national measures on stadium safety, including CCTV installation, all-ticket matches, and alcohol restrictions.[138] During this period, the [Luton Town MIGs](/source/Luton_Town_MIGs) (Men In Gear) were active and played a prominent role in orchestrating hooligan clashes, continuing their involvement in violent incidents throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

In September 2003, Luton supporters were involved in orchestrated pre-match violence ahead of a Worthington Cup match against Watford at Vicarage Road. Six Luton fans were jailed for affray, receiving sentences between eight and 14 months and football banning orders of six to seven years, while a total of 20 individuals were imprisoned for disturbances inside and outside the ground.[139] On 6 October 2012, violence occurred in Lincoln before a match against Lincoln City, when Luton fans clashed in the Ritz pub, leading to 21 arrests and subsequent guilty pleas for violent disorder.[140]

During the May 2010 Blue Square Premier play-off semi-final, York City defeated Luton 1-0 at Kenilworth Road. Post-match, York players were attacked by projectiles after a pitch invasion, and police were assaulted by fans armed with improvised weapons. Several arrests were made, prompting apologies from the club chairman and highlighting the need for enhanced security measures.[141] On 24 August 2010, [Tommy Robinson](/source/Tommy_Robinson), later founder of the [English Defence League](/source/English_Defence_League), led a street brawl between Luton and Newport County supporters. Robinson was convicted in July 2011 for using threatening, abusive, or insulting behaviour and received a 12-month community rehabilitation order, 150 hours of unpaid work, a three-year football banning order, and fines.[142]

On 16 February 2013, prior to a fifth-round FA Cup match against Millwall, minor pre-match disturbances occurred in Luton town centre, followed by incidents in the town after the game, resulting in twelve men charged with public order offences and affray. In October 2019, following a Luton Town versus Bristol City match, a mass brawl occurred in Guildford Street involving multiple groups of football supporters, leading police to issue appeals for information to identify those involved.[143] Luton fans have also been involved in incidents during Championship play-offs, including a pitchside assault on an opposing player in May 2023, prompting FA charges for failing to control spectators despite the club having issued prior bans.[144]

The club's largest wins have been a 15–0 victory over [Great Yarmouth Town](/source/Great_Yarmouth_Town_F.C.) on 21 November 1914 in the [FA Cup](/source/FA_Cup)[153] and a 12–0 win over [Bristol Rovers](/source/Bristol_Rovers_F.C.) in the [Third Division South](/source/Football_League_Third_Division_South) on 13 April 1936.[151] Luton's heaviest loss was a 9–0 defeat against [Small Heath](/source/Birmingham_City_F.C.) in the [Second Division](/source/Football_League_Second_Division) on 12 November 1898.[151]

Luton's highest home attendances are 30,069 against [Blackpool](/source/Blackpool_F.C.) in the FA Cup on 4 March 1959[151][154] and 27,911 against [Wolverhampton Wanderers](/source/Wolverhampton_Wanderers_F.C.) in the [First Division](/source/Football_League_First_Division) on 5 November 1955.[155]

The highest transfer fee received for a Luton Town player is the fee [Leicester City](/source/Leicester_City_F.C.) paid for Luton-born full-back [James Justin](/source/James_Justin) on 28 June 2019.[156] The most expensive player Luton Town have ever bought is believed to be [Mark McGuinness](/source/Mark_McGuinness), who signed on 20 August 2024 for a reported fee of £6 million, although the figure remains undisclosed.[157][158]

The youngest player to make a [first-team](/source/First_team_(association_football)#F) appearance for Luton Town is [Connor Tomlinson](/source/Connor_Tomlinson_(footballer)) at 15 years and 199 days old in the [EFL Trophy](/source/EFL_Trophy), replacing [Zane Banton](/source/Zane_Banton) as a 92nd-minute [substitute](/source/Substitute_(association_football)) in a 2–1 win over [Gillingham](/source/Gillingham_F.C.) on 30 August 2016, after the club were given permission for him to play from his headteacher.[159]

The youngest player to score a senior goal for Luton Town is Finley Evans, who scored in an [EFL Trophy](/source/EFL_Trophy) match against [Brighton & Hove Albion U21s](/source/Brighton_%26_Hove_Albion_F.C._Under-21s_and_Academy) on 28 October 2025 aged 16 years and 271 days old.[160]
