Luton v Swansea Sat 7 Dec 15:00
It’s Saturday and it’s away game time. We’re off to Luton in Bedfordshire, a multicultural and densely populated town of 200,000. It’s about 35 miles north of London and a 300 mile round trip from Swansea. It has an unenviable reputation for higher than average crime rates, mostly for violence and sexual offences.
The majority of the population (55%) are non-white, with ethnic whites making up the remainder.
Luton FC’s home is Kenilworth Road. They are nicknamed the Hatters because Luton, besides the car industry, is famous for making straw and latterly felt hats.
Their head-coach is Rob Edwards, who gained 15 caps for Wales as a defender, and managed Watford before getting promotion to the PL with Luton.
Luton have struggled after their return to the Championship this season. A 4-2 loss at Norwich last Saturday was their tenth defeat of the season and consequently they are 3 points away from the relegation zone. All four goals conceded were through individual errors Edwards said afterwards.
Total summer transfers out £21m, transfers in £11.7m on one player centre-back Mark McGuinness from Cardiff, the rest frees or loans including our very own Liam Walsh, who spent most of his time injured in his three years at Swansea. He has played 9 games so far for Luton this season but is presently out with a hamstring injury.
Swans meanwhile have a week to recover after three games in six days and will be hoping they can carry their Portsmouth second-half performance into the Luton match.
