Sorry, posted the wrong one

 

Crown Sports Bar at the bottom of Ivegate.
Been in there a number of times.
Got City memorabilia everywhere, massive screen and was packed before the home leg.
Loads of lads I know are off there Saturday.

 

Just on the Luton/Sunderland game (I know there's a second half and a Wembley final to overcome) but its a great rise to the Premier League if they achieve it, 2009/10 season saw Luton relegated playing in the Conference Premier League if they do make the Premier League what a great achievement that would be and shows what can be done, not sure if they have a sugar daddy or they have made the right calls with regards their managers over the years, how can they survive on an average home attendance of 10,000 which is basically their ground capacity, but good luck to them.

 

Just avoid any Sam Smiths pub, because as well as no TV's, they also don't allow mobile phones, so you wouldn't even be able to check the score

Oh and most of them stink of piss and other foul odours

 

We just walked in and immediately got shushed while trying to order a drink because 3 old ladies were playing bingo.

Absolute madness!

 

Is that the same boozer on Ivegate that had strippers in it back in the 70’s? My uncle used to tell me when my grandad visited from Belfast, he used to always make him go in there

 

They also have one Reece Burke in their squad. I always look to see how well he is doing.

 

A big screen outside VP around fan zone area, few bottle/food bars etc with a small entrance fee would of been good.

 

I suspect ticket sales will be controlled via EFL/Wembley. They always have been in the past, unless it has changed this year?

 

Had a look at Luton and Coventrys pages to see their ticketing details. Both teams have been allocated just over 36,000 each (36,493 Luton - east side of Wembley & 36,237 Coventry - west side). Ticket prices match last years, so I'd expect the same for L2.

However, ticket sales for the championship final are online only. Both have the same blurb which is below:
Due to anticipated demand the Club and Ticketmaster advise all supporters will need to book online at www.eticketing.co.uk/lutontown

Tickets will not be sold through Luton Town Ticket Office, although the Ticket Office staff we be available to assist with booking queries during normal advertised opening hours.

Coventry have the same details but added to their blurb that only disabled fans should visit the ticket office for assistance with their online purchase. Both sides have been set an e-ticketing page, with all the help pages and help phone numbers for the site directing you to Ticketmaster support, so just looks like e-ticking is a sub-site of Ticketmaster. Both sets of fans are only allowed to purchase 2 tickets per season ticket/supporter ID and each transaction caps at 6 tickets. So sounds like the championship is bar code/QR Code only tickets, no more paper ones. I'd guess it's the same for the EFL as a whole.

 

You forgot to post you're address.

 

I was in one a while ago and we were all asked to leave after one lad took a phone call.

 

Bloody hell , worked there 6 years in 68-74, whilst doing my engineering apprenticeship. It was rammed nightly and a good pub in those days. I’m surprised it’s still there! A right s/hole last time I went in before getting a train to Kings X after a City game about 10 years ago.

 

Is that the “ Old Crown “ as us old uns knew it. Jubby’s place? @Bronco ??

 

It's not that bad, plenty of worse places to go.

 

Being below the Interchange as it was, it was always a meeting up pub. And then they all came back 10 mins before last orders and last buses.

The “ lock ins” were something else. It was Bradford’s Police drinking den ! Plenty of detectives used to prop up the bar!
