Well they probably heard the collective sigh coming out of Kenilworth Road on Saturday just before 5pm when the ref blew for full-time half-way round the world as we all felt mightily relieved that another mediocre season was finally over with.

It would be fairly easy to base my season's review around all the many negatives, however, I think the collective performance on Saturday pretty much summed it all up for so many of us. Let us hope that some of these players that displayed a clear lack of respect to the fans and the people involved with 2020 who have worked so hard to actually give them a future by saving the Club, move out of Kenilworth Road as quick as Matthew Spring has ran off the pitch and down the tunnel at the last few games.

However, there have been a number of positives this season and the main one that in particular feels me with so much more optimism for the future of this great Club is of course the change of ownership to LTFC 2020, which hopefully will be completed very shortly. This will be a momentous day in the history of the Club and one that will bring us the fans far closer to having a greater say in the destiny of the Club. I am sure the Committee of Loyal Luton is not alone in wanting to thank all of you that have been extremely supportive and patient since the turn of the year.

On the pitch the continued improvement and undoubted commitment rightly saw Keith Keane storm away with our Player of the Season, while the emergence of youngsters such as Ryan Charles, Ed Asafu-Adjaye and George Beavan has been extremely encouraging and bodes well for the future. We also saw some memorable games against the likes of Sunderland, Charlton, Everton and Liverpool as we enjoyed two good cup runs. There has also been the return of Luton Legend Mick Harford and we wish him all the best for a busy summer in assembling a squad that can make us all proud again and challenge for an immediate return to League One.

I would also like to say a big thanks to all those who came down The Whitehouse after Saturday's game for the re-run of the 1988 Littlewoods Final. The atmosphere was unbelievable and my voice was still struggling all day Sunday!! It was good to belt out so many of the old songs, while watching the game and for so much noise coming from the few hundred in there and all with big smiles on their faces was a perfect way to end the season.

That leads nicely onto next Saturday and if any of you have still not got tickets for the game then I would encourage you to try and snap these up this week although I understand you will probably be able to pay-on-the-day, not forgetting there is also the option to pay an additional £5, which will go towards the youth set-up at the Club. With continuation of good weather also on the horizon, what better way is there to get one more football Saturday out of the season and one that we know will be a fun-packed day while I'm sure some of the older Legends will show they can probably still run quicker and kick straighter than some of last Saturday's team!!.

Then in the evening there is the Legends dinner with all profits again going towards the youth set-up. Loyal Luton has now taken two Premier tables and two Champions tables. We only have a few seats left but if you are interested in attending then please mail me ASAP. 

For further details on both these events then you can click here.

Many thanks to all those that have worked so hard in getting this event off the ground and also to 2020 for commissioning the 1988 replica kits that should be available in the Club Shop next Saturday.

For all those not going next week then have a great summer and keep a look-out for our messages that will continue to be sent out updating everyone on developments, while we will also be seeking your valuable feedback on a couple of important matters that are likely to arise.

Enjoy the summer sun and here's to a successful 2008/09 season.

Cheers
