Club formed in 1885
One side of the ground and one end are small and covered. A Luton fan once told me that the council would not let the club build any higher than the surrounding houses. The small end, The Oak Road Stand, is given to away supporters and this has a simple electric scoreboard on its roof. The other end is a large covered all seated stand, which was originally a terrace. You can still see parts of the old terrace at the back of this stand. The small side of the ground (called the Bobbers Stand as entrance cost a Bob!) is predominantly filled with a row of executive boxes and is so small that you can clearly see the houses behind it. Netting has been suspended between the floodlight pylons on its roof to reduce the number of footballs being kicked out of the ground. The other side, the Main Stand, is an older two tiered covered stand. This stand is mostly wooden (therefore no smoking allowed) and is really beginning to show its age. The Main Stand only runs around two thirds of the length of the pitch, with another newer structure 'bolted' onto one end. This area is known as the 'New Stand' and is used a family area.
