not looking good for luton town, and then they have gone on this ridiculous journey ever since, through the divisions, back up to the premier league, and they are getting rewarded for sticking with the club over these years. even when they were down in the conference, lee two, they were posting brilliant attendances given how small the stadium is, they are limited in that sense, but they have stuck with them through out the years, and now they are getting the reward of playing against the likes of man city, liverpool, arsenal, all those sides, and if they manage to stay up, it will be even better, one hell of a journey they have been on. just pausing for men and we have 18 years and another football story this month down at lunchtime and chelsea just in the new manager we can go live network sports reporter ben croucher. fix,

three—year contract at stamford bridge. the club said his experience and standards of excellence, leadership qualities and character will serve chelsea football club well as they move forward. he is a winning coach has worked at the highest level in multiple places and languages his ethos, tactical approach all make him inaccessible draw exceptional candidate. the's owner said he is a world—class coach with an outstanding track record. a lot on his they say. chelsea finished 12th in the premier league this season, their worst ever, but they do now finally have one of the best coaches in world football going forward, mauricio pochettino. find forward, mauricio pochettino. and the have forward, mauricio pochettino. and they have got _ forward, mauricio pochettino. and they have got luton to deal with now as well, haven't they? the? they have got luton to deal with now as well, haven't they?— as well, haven't they? they have indeed! net _ as well, haven't they? they have indeed! net we _ as well, haven't they? they have indeed! net we can _ as well, haven't they? they have indeed! net we can go _ as well, haven't they? they have indeed! net we can go back- as well, haven't they? they have indeed! net we can go back to i indeed! net we can go back to talking about what is going on in luton today. massive celebration

your faces as well it is going to be very different to what plenty of players have been used to the past four years so a really unique occasion going to kenilworth road for notjust fans but players well. interesting to see you describe what looks is a sweet, cute glamping described as fierce. i can understand what you mean as in terms of hostile crowd. it was so interesting talking to a football finance expert looking at differences in the money compared to manchester city whose squad costs around £1 billion versus luton town's squad which costs around four or e5 town's squad which costs around four or £5 billion in the thought of players going to kenilworth road and being beaten by suction in terms of financially lesser team would be, you know, they'll be worried about humiliation, won't they? i you know, they'll be worried about humiliation, won't they?— humiliation, won't they? i think humiliation _ humiliation, won't they? i think humiliation would _ humiliation, won't they? i think humiliation would be _ humiliation, won't they? i think humiliation would be a - humiliation, won't they? i think humiliation would be a bit - humiliation, won't they? i think. humiliation would be a bit strong

because luton have earned the opportunity to be in the premier league and the fact they've done on such a small budget goes back to what i was saying earlier. as a business, their recruitment has just been ridiculously good now for years. every player has been brought in with their eyes being an important part of the squad and fit the philosophy on are there because of the team spirit they can bring to the club in terms of what they bring in the dressing room as well so, you know, the budget that luton have is small for championship levels, let alone premier league levels and i got the premier league it will be really interesting to see what they do in terms of bringing players in the kind of players they bring in. so this is one thing i am particularly looking forward to over the summer and just think they do when the likes of erling haaland, character breiner and all these other players from all these sites go to kenilworth road it is going to be very, very interesting watch for the next year.

most of them are nursing hangovers but it is always a very delicate balancing act for any manager when they take a team up to the premier league what to do. i mean, we saw nottingham forest last year successfully spend over £100 million and eventually came to fruition and they were better off and they retain their premier league safety but luton have a special way of playing and a special ethos as well. i don't think the manager wanted to be too disruptive because it's been proven to be mightily effective in getting into the championship there is no guaranteed method of success, is there? chelsea has spelt half £1 billion and are they better team? know, therefore be infinitely worse. i think luton will properly want to find a couple of players for the town it got here but this group weren't enough to get the team into the premier league and i'm pretty sure rob edwards will be desperate to play them next year. 10,000

capacity. there must be 100,000 people on the streets today. it is going to be very hard work for any team to come here.— going to be very hard work for any team to come here. someone was describin: team to come here. someone was describing italy — team to come here. someone was describing italy as _ team to come here. someone was describing italy as a _ team to come here. someone was describing italy as a fierce - describing italy as a fierce atmosphere they've got waiting for them. i suppose they are so proud they have come all this way without they have come all this way without the huge money other clubs have seen along the way and i suppose everybody talks so much about how this team works so well together and as you say not wanting to change that too much and it is of the changes you want to see just talk us through facilities and we know the other stadium is a long way off in a couple of years we are going to have to see some changes at kenilworth road, and we? it’s to see some changes at kenilworth road. and we?— road, and we? it's a shame, isn't it? the way _ road, and we? it's a shame, isn't it? the way they _ road, and we? it's a shame, isn't it? the way they are _ road, and we? it's a shame, isn't it? the way they are going - road, and we? it's a shame, isn't it? the way they are going to - road, and we? it's a shame, isn't| it? the way they are going to have to spend about 10 million £12 million improve the staff and facilities for the media. a bit of a waste of money in the next year or

two they are hoping to bring the first spade in on the new stadium perhaps towards the end of this year or early next year and we're going to get around 100, up to £170 million living in the premier league. that new stadium is in the town and you get a sense of how important the football club is to the community keeping it in the town and absolutely vital for them and will cost 200 million pounds. you mention if they're going to go out and buy the players, well, i think your puppy and buy the players, well, i think your puppy take a slightly broader opinion on that. this is really crucial revenue for a club that has suffered so much over the last 20 years or so this club nearly went out of business. it really needed. they have points to productions and relegation after relegation. ends them up to... five years in the national league. a5 them up to... five years in the national league. as i said, always

done it almost went out of business. but they got back up. they'll be prudent. they got a new stadium to around them, a team working together, you can: a ) that. around them, a team working together, you can: a newt. around them, a team working together, you can a new stadium buy and pay off i think all the club are so thankful to be here and thankfulfor are so thankful to be here and thankful for the opportunity to give it a go. when it is a sort of riches to rags to riches story, isn't it? because it was 1992 then they were in the top flight but they've gone right the way down and write the way back up again and such a major roller—coaster of a journey that it is amazing how quickly theyjust manage that turnaround over the last four years, manage that turnaround over the last fouryears, isn't manage that turnaround over the last four years, isn't it? what is it down to? the fans got on board. it is a good starting point. the fans got on board and it felt like the and more stable hands and the chief executive is a national, passionate luton town follower so it required a bit of reset to be honest and i discussed kevin a cameraman to have a little cat the side and look at

all the fans lining the streets if we get a little bit of a shock. fans have been behind this club incredibly so over the last few years. was a club of the dominant worth saving? absolutely was and how they quite literally have their moment in the sun.- they quite literally have their moment in the sun. some of those fans are walking _ moment in the sun. some of those fans are walking faster— moment in the sun. some of those fans are walking faster than - moment in the sun. some of those fans are walking faster than you i moment in the sun. some of those | fans are walking faster than you are going on that bus. that is brilliant. what about the captain. is tom lockyer on the bus? tom locke isn't here and i was just struggling to find the club captain and speaking earlier on and apparently tom lockyer is ok, not in well, not on the bus today and i'm sure he is watching bbc news and trying to keep across the sly feed just to have a sense and taste of what it is all about. joyous scenes, share jubilation and probably a sense of disbelief over the next few years to where now. manchester united,

manchester city. open to kenilworth road and will give them a heck of a game and enjoying those days out. for being at the stadium this morning i'm not entirely sure how much some of the big players in big clubs are going to enjoy the experience of coming to kenilworth road because it is an incredibly intimate environment. very limited tickets for the away fans. they will all be squeezed into old—fashioned terracing. squeezed in the middle of an estate. it is something. nothing compares to it really in this day and age. certainly not in the premier league. some of the glamorous grounds that football players playing all around the country. well, whilst kenilworth road is popular and a loss of fans had acutely endearing to them. not quite sure what you miss there! what happened there? somebody wanted some kfc so fans have just gone and got him. someone hasjust got lifted up

there is now some orange paint bombs going off behind me. as there is now some orange paint bombs going off behind me. a5 are the fireworks, as the not orange yet but i think in another hour or so it will be completely orange. just mac i'm not orange yet but i but i think i'm not orange yet but i but i think i will in another hour so. studio: funny that they got a case deliver to the team bus with some of the fans down below that is absolutely brilliant. it is going so slowly you can see how easy it is for them to run and get it for them. it was watching from the bbc sport centre? bbc sports presenter of course. this macula watching? they arejust course. this macula watching? they are just absolutely loving this moment, aren't they? just looking at these injuries with you now is the orange smoke bombs go off around those two buses making their way to the centre. i those two buses making their way to the centre. ., . those two buses making their way to the centre. . , , ~ those two buses making their way to the centre. . , , ,, ., the centre. i was 'ust thinking how nice it is the centre. i was 'ust thinking how ii is for — the centre. i wasjust thinking how nice it is for these _ the centre. i wasjust thinking how nice it is for these funds _ the centre. i wasjust thinking how nice it is for these funds to - the centre. i wasjust thinking how nice it is for these funds to have i nice it is for these funds to have their moment with the players. there are so much pressure involved in top ten spot, isn't? lovely for the fans feel to celebrate along with those

players and clubs supporting all through the years and we've been hearing through the years about the ups and downs of this club and getting them back to where they are. i havejust getting them back to where they are. i have just been thinking about how nice it is in a way for a sport to have stories like this because sometimes, you know, a lot of people talk about the astronomical amount of money that is involved in football and in sport in general and we can see a lot of the top end clubs and their budgets for players and you wonder at times how you can complete and get to the top level and luton town are the real story of being able to preview can do it and i think that is why an awful lot of people at probably watching on and enjoying these scenes for what they say about what you can do and how you can punch above your weight. we know the budget for their players

enjoying this fix of the parade so much is lothar championship standards and more of a league 1 budget and are they going to be playing in the premier league against players fully worth more than that squad as a whole so i think it is a good moment as well forfootball think it is a good moment as well for football and think it is a good moment as well forfootball and for the think it is a good moment as well for football and for the football pyramid in terms of how it works and how are smaller club like this can reach the top flight and how they can complete and see the way the results will go and it is a really nice in a condition where you do sometimes cease some punching above their weight and getting to celebrate that today. it their weight and getting to celebrate that today. their weight and getting to celebrate that toda . . s, , celebrate that today. it needs to be iossible, celebrate that today. it needs to be possible, doesn't _ celebrate that today. it needs to be possible, doesn't it, _ celebrate that today. it needs to be possible, doesn't it, that _ celebrate that today. it needs to be possible, doesn't it, that you - celebrate that today. it needs to be possible, doesn't it, that you can i possible, doesn't it, that you can be promoted and stay up? for everybody interests it needs to be possible. everybody interests it needs to be -ossible. . , , everybody interests it needs to be -ossible. . , ., everybody interests it needs to be -ossible. , ., possible. absolutely and you can hear the players _ possible. absolutely and you can hear the players talking - possible. absolutely and you can hear the players talking about i possible. absolutely and you can j hear the players talking about it. when they set out as a team, any

team at the start of the season, they have got to be able to believe that they can achieve sometimes what seems like the impossible. for luton town they supply of last year but they had been on this journey for several years and i mentioned nathan jones who was involved in another philosopher motions and some people found every permission on the way they have been believing for a while they have been believing for a while they can believe what a lot of other people doubted they can believe. a lot of people might have scoffed at that, but the players have to be able to believe they can do this and it is a vindication of that for them today, and the belief that, yes, the dream might seem impossible, but with the right organisation, the people in place, the structures around them, a team working together, you can do that. essen
