add kenilworth road, tom is waiting for the players to get on the bus.t wouldn't take too long, i could walk it in about 10—15 minutes, but i think today it is probably going to take a little longer. i was talking to a lifelong fan, neil, a little earlier, who has been a luton town fan for 47 years, and the point that he was making to me is that he heard a lot about wrexham and their story, but as he pointed out, they had money invested by ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney, and the difference with luton is that they haven't had what he called a sugar daddy, they haven't had someone who will put the money in, someone who will put the money in, so it is a local consortium that owns luton town. the ground itself is owned by the council. and i have literally saved the club from financial ruin back in 2008, it was bought by gary street, the chief executive, and his consortium, and that was led at the time by the television presenter nick 0wen, who is a lifelong luton town fan as well, and for many years, certainly when i was at the radio here, he was the chair

earlier we had thousands of people in the town for the bus parade, it left kenilworth road, which will hold just over 10,000 people. it is right in the heart of the community. you may have seen the pictures that have gone viral of the entrants for the away fans, it is literally between two people's houses and when you go up the stairs to the terraces, ec people's back gardens. it shows how much luton is at the heart of the community and how much been promoted to means to this team because remember, just nine years ago they were in the non—league and they have worked their way up through all the leagues to make it to the premier league. we are looking at the pictures from a little earlier, the absolutely packed streets as that bus made its way really slowly through the town. real joy way really slowly through the town. realjoy spilling out onto the streets. probably not since david ran onto the pitch when the avoided relegation back in 1982 has a luton celebrated as much. how have they done it? you said nine years from non—league football to the top flight, how have they achieved that?

we want to move out of kenilworth road in the not—too—distant future. and not to far away.ry and we are proud of it. to think they could be premier league teams coming here, it would be amazing for us. in 2018, luton and coventry met in league 2, that year the two clubs were promoted, the path to this match was set. for both of them to be here is extraordinary. now they look to take one more leap. the english women's super league title, will be decided later. at the end of a season, that has been, its most competitive, and most keenly followed. chelsea go to reading, knowing a win, will secure a 11th successive title, ahead of second—placed manchester united. i think back to every campaign, we have only ever won by a couple of points at best, maybe one game, this is business as usual for us. the preparation is what we prepared for at the beginning of the season. we all know how much hype there can be around boxing but this autumn we mightjust finally get the fight that's been talked about for years. that's if the world heavyweight champion tyson fury gets his way. the wbc c

their stadium at kenilworth road only seats around 10,000 people, and you may have seen it is reallyto houses. you walk through there, and to get to the terraces, you can see people's back gardens, so it really is at the heart of the community and thatis is at the heart of the community and that is why so many people... i have lived in luton for decades now, and i've never seen this many people in st george a square to celebrate this. well done. that is all for now. stay with bbc world news. hello. it was a near—perfect weekend for some of you, and for those on half term this week, there can't be too many complaints for many. skies a little like we saw here on the banks of loch lomond as we went through today. but it could be a busy week for the gardeners and growers — the state of the ground here is very dry in pembrokeshire, for instance, and there is little to no rain in the forecast through the rest of this week. 0ur forecast rainfall chart shows the rainfall amounts totting up across southern europe in the mediterranean — not great for those in half term here — but for us, other
