I never said they didn't, I'm just stating all the investment has been into the training complex, just like us.  We were once very vocal about expanding the stadium.  I hope they are more successful.

Yeah I get that and maybe I should have included this at first. 

 

They had to build the training ground anyway to enable them moving from their existing training ground which is adjacent to the ground (therefore now space to redevelop). So the training ground investment was always going to their first intention

I'm aware, and the old training complex stopped expansion, but the facts are the same.

But how can Luton afford or justify it when they have crowds of 15000 🤷‍♂️ for decades. Their parachute payments end next season and maybe in league one too. They must have very rich owners and/or a very obliging council.

Not sure how obliging they are given a new ground has been in the works for 40 years.  They sourced the funds by private investors, they actually bought some land to build the new stadium a decade a go and will be selling that to help fund the new one.
