Luton Town fans on Twitter have been celebrating latest incredible news
Whilst moving into a new stadium can be a stressful affair, just ask Tottenham fans about that, Luton Town fans cannot wait for work to start on their new ground. Yesterday was a historic day for the club as they edge towards their move too, as Luton Council approved plans to develop land off of junction 10 of the M1 to help pay for the Hatters new stadium.

Whilst you’ll struggle to find a Luton Town fan that doesn’t love Kenilworth Road, the famous ground is over 100 years old and the club has tried and failed in the past to move away and find a new home. Now, though, it looks like the Hatters will finally be granted their wish as after having plans approved for a new 17,500 seater stadium in January, yesterday’s news now means that the club has a way to fund it.
This update comes as massive news not just for Luton Town Football Club, but for Luton as a whole. The Newlands Business Park will bring over 10,000 jobs to the town as well as £250 million to the economy annually, according to this report from ITV. The Hatters will still be celebrating this news today, and as they sit atop the League One table with dreams of a new ground becoming a reality, it’s not hard to understand why the supporters on Twitter are so jubilant.
In response to all of that, you read those jubilant fans’ tweets here:
Best news of my quite long life. A tear in my eye. Hope I get to go in the new stadium.
