They're really going up the famous creek now.

Confirmed by the BBC. Not sure if this is a good time or a bad time to play them. They'll either rally, or have their heads down feeling doomed. Let's hope for the latter.

I think its too soon to see a rallying type effort from them. To be honest I doubt that they will ever rally. As soon as this has happened Im sure the Leeds scenario sprung to mind. Luton and Leeds are worlds apart in club size, sqaud strength etc. As much as I hate to say it, Leeds have been amazing to overcome a 15 point deduction and to now be sitting in play off spot. Im almost certain that we wont see the same from Luton and quite frankly I couldnt give a toss! I hope they end up head first in the **** with a one way ticket to Blue Square Football.

Heard today form a Looton fan that they're rumoured to be docked 40 points from the start of next season MINIMUM for their dodgy dealings.... I reckon this could be the end of Luton.... and regardless of how much everyone loathes them, no one likes to see a club vanish of the map...remember it could have been us a few years ago.

40 points?
That'd be a heck of a precedent for the FL to set and LooTown would probably pursue such a draconian sanction through the courts...

40 points seems a bit much - would be very harsh indeed despite the seriousness of the allegations against them...
As much as i dislike Luton i hate to see any team go into administration and face the uncertainty they now face (Col U, Forest and any team that Sean Thornton may be playing for in a given season :D being the exceptions to the rule). Fans must be gutted - and I am a bit worried about our match with them tomorrow: we could either trash them or they could give us a good hiding to show their solidarity etc.
Bet Morgan is glad he got out of there on loan when he did...at least he still gets his wages now :p

According to 5 live yesterday, Luton are in danger of a further 15 point deduction as the CVA is not in order. apparently the taxman is not happy with the terms and they want more than the offer currently being made to creditors.

Oh dear.
It wouldn't make much difference though, as having sold most of their decent players and had a ten point deduction they're deep in the sh!t anyway and likely to be relegated.
Possibly a bigger worry is the threat of a possible winding-up order should the taxman get too stroppy :p
