External link removal

Will the person with ip 81.107.127.33 stop deleteing my entry (hatters-forum) from the external links section . And why are you removing it ? 21-8-6

I think you should refer to this because it explains why people are keen to remove 'linkspam'. Especially as you don't appear to have added anything else to the Wikipedia since you started contributing. Budgiekiller 21:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Just for clarity, see the above link paragraphs 3 & 9 (i.e. you run the site, and it's just a forum). Budgiekiller 21:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Theres plenty of information on the site as well , If you are going to remove my link i think you should be removeing other links that are just to forums as well .

I have also checked several other football clubs an they have external links to fans forums , so why are they ok an mine is not ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hatters-forum (talk • contribs)

Their existence does not mean they are 'ok'. Users watch various pages, I happen to watch Luton Town F.C. because it's subject to so much racist vandalism. I refer you once more to paras 3 and 9 of the above link to explain why your link is being removed. Budgiekiller 12:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Watford claims

In the article Luton are claimed as beig a bigger club than Watford. I find this claim very hard to understand. Watford have in recent years been consistently in an equal or higher league. Have had premiership places more recently (06-07 season). and have a larger ground and average attendence. It seems a remarkable claim to suggest Luton is a bigger club and really needs some serious citations to back this up.--GazMan7 14:42, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

1980s Millwall match

I will continue to revert this section to the original version. Factual accuracy should trump the notion of finding a "compromise".

There were not 10,000 Millwall fans at the match. One wonders where home supporters would have found room to stand. Kenilworth Road was not, and is not, the San Siro.

There were not two pitch invasions. There were numerous pitch incursions, but only one "famous" one which was repeated incessantly on the TV news. Since this section of the article discusses the fall-out of those pictures in government and FA circles, referring to "a pitch invasion" is accurate.

Wikipedia is not a good place for ageing hooligans to boast about their past exploits. This is the essence of 'Arry's edit, and that is why it should be reverted.

Membership of the "Bushwhackers" at its peak was only a hundred or so. One of the first things one notices in the pictures I mention is that there are rather more than 100 people on the pitch. Apparently there were 10,000 in the stands, too. The possible involvement of the "Bushwhackers" group do not pass the notability test. Police intelligence was not what it is now. No reliable documents have ever been released to the public that identifies who started or participated in the trouble.

Editors who would like to contribute to this section might perhaps ask themselves what qualifies them to do it. Have they read the police and media reports from the time? Are they supporters of one of the teams, or is their knowledge based on anecdote? Were they even at the game? --Lingvo9 (talk) 23:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, how dare you accuse me of being a football hooligan boasting about past exploits, I find this remark highly offensive, I have never commited a criminal act in my life. It is patently obvious that you do not have a clue what you are talking about. Yes, I was at the game and I am a Millwall supporter-not a Millwall hooligan or Bushwacker. You also have no idea of the capacity of Luton's ground in 1985 do you? The attendence was 17,470 13 March - didn't know that either did you? Luton didn't make an FA Cup quarter final an all ticket match hence the presense of so many fans from London, that not only included "Bushwackers" but The Headhunters and the Yid Army to name but a few. Yes, some so called Millwall fans were involved but the vast majority of ordinary Millwall fans took no part in any act of violence, in fact, "Millwall Fans" were themselves injured. I therefore take great exception to this article demonising all Millwall fans as hooligans - I hope I have made my position quite clear. 'Arry Boy (talk) 02:01, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Please explain how 10,000 Millwall supporters, roughly the same number of home supporters and thousands of supporters of other London clubs equate to an attendance of 17,470. My memory has become foggier over the years, but I don't remember Millwall fans arriving early and building a new stand before the game.

Please direct me to the line where I accused you of being a football hooligan. Try as I might, I cannot find it.

Please direct me to the section which demonises all Millwall fans as hooligans. Try as I might, I cannot find that, either. --Lingvo9 (talk) 11:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

You need directing to where you called me a football hooligan? I think you need to make an appointment at Specsavers. If you really need to be directed to where Millwall fans are demonised as hooligans it reads thus: "Following a pitch invasion by Millwall fans". What all the Millwall fans? Some of the Millwall fans? How many Millwall fans? Who says they were Millwall fans? The BBC, The Sun, YOU? You weren't even there, if you were, why didn't you know Luton's ground capacity at the tme? You didn't even know the date, you do now because I told you. What makes a Millwall fan? Any yob that was allowed to travel down from London because Luton didn't make the game all ticket? Because they paid and entered the ground at the away end, that makes them all Millwall fans does it? Any of those yobs on the pitch wearing Millwall colours? No, the media and you and people like you just want to believe it - and I want an apology for being called a football hooligan. 'Arry Boy (talk) 13:28, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

With respect Lingvo9, this comment, "Wikipedia is not a good place for ageing hooligans to boast about their past exploits. This is the essence of 'Arry's edit, and that is why it should be reverted." is quite clearly aimed at Arry Boy and equally clearly, linking him and ageing football hooligans in the same sentence. Whilst you did not specifically make an accusation that he is/was a football hooligan you also quite clearly linked him and being an ageing football hooligan. And someone reading that posted to them could very easily read it as an accusation of being a football hooligan. In addition you did not appear to assume good faith with the edit summary of "nonsense". Nonsense on wikipedia is content that is "unsalvageably incoherent with no meaningful content" and "This does not include poor writing, vandalism, material not in English, badly translated material, hoaxes, etc". What it cleary is in this case is a content dispute between the two of you. His edit made perfect sense, whether it is correct or not is another matter, but to state that it was nonsense is not correct. It was something with which you totally disagree and to use an edit summary of "nonsense" is both not helpful and inaccurate. I would though suggest to both of you that you refrain from criticising each other as it will not help improve the article, and would urge you try and work together and discuss it civilly withouth the sarcasm and criticism.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 14:16, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

A quick google search found a few articles, one of which here includes very specific comments about that day as follows -

"At the final whistle all hell let loose and the inadequate number of police and stewards could not cope as the pitch became a footballing battlefield. Thirty one people were arrested, many of whom turned out to be supporters of West Ham and Chelsea. The suspicion that it was as much an organized riot by outside sources as Millwall followers on the rampage was strengthened by the estimated 10,000 traveling supporters behind one goal -- double the southeast London club's average home gate at the time." That quite clearly states that "many of them" were fans from other clubs than Millwall. It also mentions the "estimated 10,000 travelling supporters". This from an article which is a fully reliable third party source written by a British journalist in the lead up to the 2004 FA Cup Final. And it can also be used quite easily as a source to state that there were an estimated 10,000 travelling supporters whith many of that support being fans of West Ham and Chelsea.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 15:17, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Tangerines, the key words in your citation are "many" (could be any number between 1 and 31), "suspicion" (of whom?) and "estimated" (by whom?). This non-contemporary article which does not cite its own sources (evidence? anecdote? hearsay) is not reliable evidence of anything. Most respectfully. --Lingvo9 (talk) 23:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

With respect, you are removing a source written by a Daily Telegraph journalist, Christopher Davies, stating that it is an "unreliable citation" and replacing it to back up what you are claiming with something that does nothing of the sort. All it does is confirm that Millwall supporters were involved that day and nothing more. Whereas the article by Christopher Davies who you seem to think is unreliable and who I would suggest you are absolutley wrong, gives quite specific information about that days events. If you disagree with two other editors then you need to take it to Admin and conflict resolution rather than simply removing everything you disagree with especialy so when your revert removed perfectly valid refs templates for the articificial pitch source. There was absolutley no need or reason for you to have reverted that. Please stop reverting and take this elsewhere if you disagree. Thank you.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 23:54, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree that this report is a much more accurate and truthfull account of what happened. The trouble caused that night came from the Millwall Bushwackers and members of the West Ham ICF and the Chelsea Headhunters among others, the ordinary Millwall fans were caught up in it, some were even attacked by members of other London "firms" who went with the sole intention of causing trouble, and for no other resason. MFC had asked Luton Town to make the game "All Ticket", but they flatly refused and accepted no blame for doing so. In all fairness, the article should be changed to reflect this. 'Arry Boy (talk) 16:24, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I would urge that this edit war stops now and that this is taken elswhere as it is clearly not going to get sorted. I have tried to compromise with it; I have tried to use what is a relable source despite what is being said. If a source from a Daily Telegraph journalist is "very unreliable" then much of what is used on wikipedia as sources is very unreliable. Reverting my edit simply because you (Lingvo9) disagreed with most of it (though not all as part of it was merely reformatting a reference) was not exactly conducive to sorting this out. At the very least you could have retained the part which was just reformatting the reference. There was absolutely no need to revert that part of my edit. Two editors disagree with you here Lingvo9, and I would ask you to take it elsewhere if you cannot agree to some compromise. Thank you.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 00:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to have reverted your formatting. Wikicode can be difficult for humans to read.

I am not going to debate this any further. If anyone replaces edits supported by reliable contemporary sources with comments based on less reliable, non-contemporary sources, or anecdote, or hearsay, they may expect to have those edits reverted.--Lingvo9 (talk) 00:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I find your attitude quite astonishing, not only have you called me a hooligan, now your'e saying a BBC website is more reliable than the Japan Times - truly astonishing. 'Arry Boy (talk) 00:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Just to add to the above, the sopurced content which I added is written by an established and very experienced sports journalist with the Daily Telegraph who also writes regular articles about football in England for the Japan Times. With respect, that is hardly "less reliable", in fact I would argue the opposite that it is perfectly reliable; especially when the article is very specific in detail. It isn't in any way whatsoever "hearsay" or "anecodote". It is content added with a perfectly reliable source. The Daily Telegraph, the Japan Times and the BBC are all equally reliable sources. And the BBC article used as a source simply doesn't mention about followers of other London clubs being there that day. It does not however state anything to say that did not happen, it is merely focussing on the Millwall element. I in no way condone what happened that day, it was not a very good day for English football and for Millwall FC.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 19:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

It was indeed a sad night for Millwall supporters who were solely blamed by the BBC and still are. They have had since 1985 to amend their articles, but have choosen not to. They know only too well that so called "supporters" of MFC were not the only people involved. I'm just grateful for reponsible journalists such as Christopher Davies who know the truth, and are prepared to put it into print. Personally, I found and still find, the BBC's biased reporting, completely reprehensible. 'Arry Boy (talk) 17:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Extensive cleanup

I believe that this page is in need to a serious cleanup because it is full of uncited claims, opinion and is not written in a consistent prose. UKWikiGuy (talk) 19:27, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Additionally, the History section is very recentist - it isn't exactly notable when a club hires a new Physio, for instance. Dancarney (talk) 09:45, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Rivalries, Milton Keynes Dons

The statement that "genuine" Luton fans don't support the MK Dons presence in the city is clearly a matter of opinion. May I suggest "genuine" is replaced with the word many or most? Paulwmk 14:21, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

As a Luton fan living in MK, can I also point out most MK Dons fans consider AFC Wimbledon their biggest rivals, for obvious reasons. Paulwmk 15:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

As you say, MK Dons consider AFC Wimbledon their rivals. Luton fans do not consider MK Dons rivals - therefore I don't see why MK Dons need to be in the article at all. Cliftonian (talk) 10:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

"Due to financial irregularites, Luton were docked 10 points for the 2008-09 season - and then 20 points by the Football League for exiting administration with without a CVA."

What is a "CVA"? The acronym is not explained anywhere in the article. Thryduulf (talk) 19:24, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Changed "CVA" to "Company Voluntary Arrangement". Cliftonian (talk) 09:34, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

List of notable players

I've started this list off, in order to get into this list a player must have:

• at least 100 Luton league appearances, or if lower than this amount:
• must be notable to the club despite having made fewer than 100 appearances (for example Paul Walsh, Malcolm Macdonald)

feel free to add to it.

Images

I have looked at the images in the article and has remove some that violates WP:NFCC. Some more comments.

• File:Luton Town 1919.jpg - There should be a publication date for this image.
• File:LutonTownFCBadge1973-1987.png - Non free image. OK.
• File:GordonTurner.png - Non-free image. I think this has to go to. The image is really not needed to get across the point that he record goalscorer. The image is also present in his his biography. Anyway it violates the mos since it sandwiches the text.

Rettetast (talk) 13:26, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

I've added a date on File:Luton Town 1919.jpg (1920). File:GordonTurner.png — I think you're right, it's kind of squashed in, let's get rid on this page. Cliftonian • talk 13:28, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Copyedit issues

I'll list them here:

• "Luton did, however, enjoy success in the United League during their early years, and were founder members of the Southern Football League in 1894." Multiple problems. This is out of sequence, the United League is unexplained (and I don't know what it means) "enjoy success" is vague, as is "early years". Simply don't know what to do with this. --Dweller (talk) 10:33, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Kevin Blackwell

Why is Kevin Blackwell not included in the table of former Luton managers? He wasn't that bad!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.138.18 (talk) 11:43, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Read the description above the table again. – Cliftonian^{the orangey bit} 11:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Flag "key"

This change was apparently made due to the FAC, which is here. I see nothing in there which would necessitate the use of a key which is pointless to users of graphical web browsers and entirely useless to the visually impaired in there. Perhaps someone could enlighten me, as this definitely isn't a common feature of FA-class football club articles. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 22:20, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I seem to recall that the table was requested because people may not know the flags by sight. I agree with you that it's a little superfluous, but as it was required to get the article to FA I'm not going to get rid of it. – Cliftonian^{the orangey bit} 07:24, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, if we're discussing conformance to MOS:FLAGS, then seeing as the majority of the players in the article have never been capped then there is no reason to have flags in the first place, let along having an entire column for "nationality" in the section that follows the squad list. The whole lot should be removed, as MOS:FLAGS specifically proscribes the use of flags for pointless identification of nationality. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 08:29, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Chris, the article reached a consensus at the FAC (hence it becoming a Featured Article). If you have issues with it, you should have brought them up then. You certainly should not have simply edited the article to your pleasing without a new consensus being reached.

I know that you're only trying to be helpful and to contribute, and I commend you for that; however, you can't just get rid of parts of the article that were necessary for it to get promoted. And before you say, it's not a personal thing. I'm merely defending the opinions of the users who helped this article to FA.

Cheers, – Cliftonian^{the orangey bit} 11:58, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I find it difficult to believe that listing people's football nationalities (urgh) was "necessary for it to get promoted". As you've now reverted to a version where the managers section actually contradicts the recommendation not to needlessly list nationalities (which should have been picked up in the FAC), the article is actually less compliant than it was before. There is more than one way to be compliant with a recommendation. Ticking boxes on an FAC in a way which still results in article issues just means it'll fail at the next review. At the very least the manager nationalities should be removed. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 16:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

If you feel that strongly about it, go ahead. – Cliftonian^{the orangey bit} 17:05, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Peterborough Vandalism

This page seems to have been vandalised. It says Peterborough united reserves.

Ryan Charles & George Beavan

The Luton News is reporting that Charles and Beavan have both been released. Is The Luton News a reliable and official enough source, or should we wait for official confirmation from the club? For the record, the article isn't online, it's in the paper only. Haruman215 (talk) 12:21, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

• The Luton News is more than good enough. The lovely people even used to print the ranting letters I used to send them every couple of weeks. You may remember them. – Cliftonian^{the orangey bit} 05:31, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Kit Colours

I edited the club colours but I see the changes have been reversed. Our current home shirt is the same colour as Blackpool's shirt last season (it's their previous Cabrini kit); it's not dark orange, more tangerine. We wear white socks with orange tops at home as first choice too, just like we did last night in the home game against kettering. Our away kit has orange socks, not white (in fact those previously depicted are the home socks - the orange top is the correct shade for the current home shirt). I have amended the colours again - could we keep these colours unless and until the club changes them, please?

John Moore Season

I do feel John Moore is well worth a mention, he may not have been in charge for 50 games, but, 7th in the First Division was & is the highest position ever achieved. Also he was a great player & later coach for Luton Town. So please give him credit if only in the text. 82.19.10.4 (talk) 14:24, 17 December 2013 (UTC)Lutonoldboy 17-12-2013

Kit history, Commons page, and image categorisation

Hello Hatters!

Lately I've been working on Wikimedia Commons, on organising Luton and LTFC related media.

Firstly, all the kit elements/templates which are specific to Luton now have their own subcategory: Category:Luton Town FC kits. Rather than the generic categories, this helps organise and keep track of the files we have. If there's any images that still need moving to that category (I've probably missed some), please add them or let me know.

Also, I made this page: Luton Town FC kits. This goes in the aforementioned category and is to detail the history of how the kits have evolved over the years, as has also been done for other teams. I've started it off by giving a rough summary, but it would be nice to build it into a central, detailed history of the team's kit. It could be linked with the Wikipedia article, like other teams' articles do, for example at Arsenal F.C.#Colours. If you'd like to add to the page, create some historical kit images, or even just share some useful references, that would be great.

Thanks!

2013–14 Conference Premier title - honours

In the honours section, it mentions: "Luton Town's major honours are detailed below; non-League achievements are omitted."

This means that the 2013–14 Conference Premier title isn't included. What was the justification behind this? It seems odd to exclude a league title won by the first-team. All the best Michaeldble (talk) 14:39, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
