Luton Town will bring the curtain down on a season that everyone in the Hatters corner would rather forget when they play host to Huddersfield Town at Kenilworth Road on Saturday - and Mick Harford wants the players to go out with a win to thank the fans for their support.

The Hatters will be boosted by the return of leading goalscorer Paul Furlong from injury and he will be added to the squad that played Doncaster.

Rather than dwell on the events of the last nine months, manager Harford was keen to use his final press conference of the season to pay tribute to the club's loyal supporters who haven't had a lot to cheer about over the last couple of seasons and pledged his determination to reward them for their allegiance when the new season kicks-off in August.

"The supporters have been brilliant, they have stood by us through thick and thin," commented Harford. "It has been a turbulent year but every week thousands always turn up and get behind the team at home and away - they were fantastic at Doncaster, just as they have been in every other game since I've been back.

"The players, the management and the staff have said from day one that this club will never die and we would survive. The club is now on the upward spiral.

"We have issued a statement about the players who we have released and those who are going to be given free transfers. We would like thank each and every one of them for their service at the club and wish these players all the very best for the future.

"I'm now in the process of speaking to various players now on a daily basis as we start to plan for next year.

"We are in a 'needs-must' situation and have got to trade our way out of it. We don't want to let our best players go, no-one does, but we have got assets at the football club and will have to sell those players to bring in the amount of money we need to trade our way out of the situation we are in.

"I'm sure the vultures will be hovering because I know that we have got some good players. Dean Brill is going be a top goalkeeper in my opinion, along with various other players, but supporters can rest assured that we won't under sell them.

"We have a value for the players in mind and we do not believe that that value will drop, just because we have dropped down a league and those players are seen as League 2 players."
