Today should be the last blog mentioning the wonderful events of Saturday. I have frequently been pinching myself to check I’ve not been dreaming. The Mighty Hatters story is remarkable- a founder member of the Premier League but never played in it. Evicted from the league in 2009 and five years in non-league – a highlight did include being the first non-league to win away at Premier League team that included the current England captain! Now nine years on we are a Premier League team! What is amazing it has been done by being prudent with our budget. It is a good template for football- will be marvellous if we can compete next year by being sensible with the budget. A picture of me and Clare on our way into the stadium on Saturday- you can see many Hatters on the walkway behind us.
Dan and I had a good rehearsal this afternoon – our first performance of Fantasy or Fate is at Folk Tales in Bristol on the 7th June. Then it is Quedgeley Library on the 16th.
Cricket tomorrow is away to Buckinghamshire and my team has been depleted so hopefully we can compete.
Good photos of some happy Hatters at Wembley on Saturday. Hopefully Luton will enjoy a good season in 23/24 and finish above the last 3 places in the Prem. Spurs v Luton will be interesting, with or without Mr Kane’s presence. I listened to the first half of the Town-Coventry game while watching Essex “3rd XI” v Ireland in a First Class fixture. We had 4 Essex young debutants and 4 Irish squad members in our team and only one first-team regular! I heard Coventry’s equaliser on the train back to Colchester then saw the end of extra-time and penalties when home. The quality of penalties was exceptional. Enjoy looking forward to fixtures and maybe visiting some new grounds.
