Personally I'd like to see the outside of the Arndale cladded to look like a medieval castle, with some turrets on top of the car park. The station side Bute Street entrance could have a gatehouse, portcullis and drawbridge.

Indeed, anybody who has any sort of control should always be accountable.

Crazy decisions? Like Power Court or The Brache? Like John Still or Nathan Jones? Like saving the club in 2007 and taking it through 5 divisions to the EPL? A terrible 18 months on the pitch granted, but "crazy decisions"?

But you said the board need to go, without any reference to who you'd want to replace them. They're all Luton supporters, and some of them have dug deep in their own pockets so you can still watch your team on a Saturday. You really want that board to go?

I bet Mike Ashley is licking his lips at the thought of buying up a club with a brand new stadium bang on his doorstep.

Some of our younger supporters really should check up on the club's history at board level.

Just when you thought Keir Starmer's Labour Party couldn't get more illiberal, or more like the Tories...

When asked what policy he would prescribe in response to AI, @rbreich.bsky.social said Universal Basic Income. That's the 3-word correct answer. It's not the only thing we need, but it's the core. It's the foundation to build on. The more people say the same, the better. Mention UBI over and over.

As an aside, her brother - Joseph - has written a book based in Luton called The Thrill Of It All, and it's excellent!

What Starmer still hasn’t learned is that you can’t give different messages to different audiences and get away with it. The people at the Labour conference will also hear what he says in the Sun.

The best thing on any social media is when people share The Simpsons moments.

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

Farage is the very definition of a racist.

Tom Scott @tom--scott.bsky.social · 10d

Genuinely baffled by Keir Starmer's refusal to describe Nigel Farage as a racist.

The evidence for this is overwhelming. The founder of UKIP, Alan Sked, quit the party because of Farage's racism.

The far right won't be defeated unless we are honest about what it is.
