Luton Town v West Bromwich Albion – 19 February 2022
Gary Sweet provides an update as at this date. Of note we reiterate his sentiment. Thank you for your patience, it won’t be in vain.
“… this sets me up nicely to provide a brief update on stadium relocation matters. Without getting technical and boring, there’s little specific to say at this time despite so much activity behind the scenes, taking up a vast majority of my time. But, I can assure you that all is going to plan, even if that plan gets more difficult by the harsh further decline in the retail market (brought about by the pandemic) and the sharp increase in materials and labour prices. But we’ve never hidden from a challenge and are taking these obstacles in our stride. We are still on track for a ‘first-half’ 2022 detailed planning application at which point those plans will be made public. We’re also in the middle of engaging with the various stakeholder supporters’ groups on specific matters relating to them, such as Hatters Heritage and our Disabled Supporters Association. Further questionnaires will ask for your feedback in due course too, to gather more intelligence on your opinions on matters such as safe-standing, hospitality and travel. Your response levels are always amazingly engaging, for which we thank you. Over the next few weeks, you’ll notice some activity at Power Court as the site gets tidied up in general, some buildings start to get demolished and we carry out more exploratory work on certain groundworks, all in readiness. Thank you for your patience. It won’t be in vain.”
