Rumours abounded at the end of last week that Luton Town FC be renamed London ” Luton Town Football Club after the airport of the same name in a bid to attract supporters from London who can't decide whether to support Arsenal, Brentford, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Leyton Orient, QPR, Spurs or West Ham. Or even the homeless Dons.
If they are drawn in the cup against London ” Barnet or London Watford, it will cause problems for the commentators. As far as we know London ” Gatwick does not have a football team, nor London - Biggin Hill, but London ” Southend does. London ” Manston, a mere 80 miles from Oxford Circus, and not inhabited by a low-cost airline, also lacks an eleven in the Football League.
