From: news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/luton_town/6366125.stmLuton stadium dream moves closer Luton have moved a step closer to their plans of relocating from their Kenilworth Road ground. Developers Rosemound signed an enabling development agreement with Cliff Bassett, owner of the 250-acre Old Park Farm site near the M1. Under the agreement Rosemound will provide £25m towards the 22,000-seat stadium, subject to planning consent. Chairman Bill Tomlins told Luton's website: "This announcement will enable us to focus on our intended move." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh good. Only another 7 years to wait, when you consider the planning application, subsequent refusal, planning inquiry, inspector's report, minister's decision, tender period for the contract and the actual construction. I'm over the moon

With this board, I'm not even optimistic about this announcement.
When the stadium gets planning approval, I'll be pleased. Until them, I'm a sceptic - they've shown their true colours in the last 3 transfer windows (January, Summer, January)

I agree Neko, my sarcasm may not have come across in my comments.

A bit like the Kohler Dome, never materialised. Hope it happens, I will go to see a few games, for me Kenilworth Road is pure dilipadated.

I agree Neko, my sarcasm may not have come across in my comments. Oh no, worry not - it came across loud and clear I just wantd to leave absolutely no doubt about my position either~
