COUNCIL PLAN LEASE EXTENSION

Posted on: Thu 14 Jan 2010

The Club are delighted to report that Luton Borough Council have agreed to extend our lease of Kenilworth Road for further a 10 years should we win promotion back to the Football League in the next four years.

The current lease of the famous old ground, that opened in 1905 and which is owned by the Council, runs until 2018.

But in a superb show of support to the Club, the Council have revealed that should we win promotion from the Blue Square Premier between now and 2014 the lease will be extended for a further decade.
