LUTON TOWN - SATURDAY 12/04/08

REPORT

With the season all but over from a Brighton point of view, the only thing worth playing for on the trip to Luton was the chance to relegate the hosts and end a 74 year old winless streak at Kenilworth Road. With the last trip to Luton proving extremely dramatic both in terms of action on the pitch and action off it, it was a seven man Crocs contingent taking in the trip and hoping to avoid the controversy that overshadowed the last visit, although it didn't get off to a good start with a similar beginning to last time around involving McCarthy and Rumble out on the town
