Luton Town have been the star performers in this season's League Two campaign. They've swaggered through the season, scoring 72 times so far and at times looking completely untouchable.

At home they opened with an eight goal mauling of Yeovil and they've also hit Cambridge and Stevenage for seven. Away from Kenilworth Road they've been just as scintillating, smashing five away at Swindon and Gateshead.

They're most fans champions-elect, the side that have consistently impressed throughout the season. Their main battle now lies away from the grass, across the negotiating tables of the town council as they hope to relocate from their home of 112 years.

Luton Town are ambitious, they feel their swashbuckling season is merely a hint of things to come. They have aspirations of Championship football, maybe even beyond. After all, they missed out on the Premier League gravy train by one season, dropping out of Division One in 1992. In order to facilitate that, they need to leave Kenilworth Road.

Since 1992 their history has been littered with financial woes, a non-league spell and points deductions. Now, with their house firmly in order, they want to get back to their eighties heyday. Nothing says progression like a 23,000 all-seater stadium, the plans for which were submitted back in August 2016.

18 months later there is still no decision from Luton Council. Managing Director Gary Sweet has been highly critical of the delay, stating: "I am beginning to find it unfathomable how something so positive and already so detailed upon submission can take so long. It will be incredibly disappointing (and costly) if we were to miss this key timeframe."

The ground move in unlikely to hinder them in the short term, James Collins and Danny Hylton will still fire them to League One for the first time in a decade, but beyond that they may need the extra revenue a new ground is likely to generate. In addition to the football ground, their Power Court development will incorporate 550 apartments, bars, restaurants, a 1,800-capacity live venue, hotel and a car park.

The revenue from such a project could quite well be the catalyst the club need to break back into the top two divisions on a permanent basis.
