| One of them will be joining us next season after today's conference play-off final. Which would you prefer?
Got to be York for me, far nicer away day, and closer to where I live. |

| It's a travesty that Luton are non-league with their pedigree. So it's the Hatters for me. |

| At first glance it's a no-brainer. Luton is an absolute cesspit.
But the fun and games we had with Luton when Kinnear was there, coupled with the fact that they would bring down 1000+ away fans, I wouldn't mind if they won it. |

| Hmm, an away weekend in the beautiful and historic City of York, or a trip to the Kennel, where we'll be crammed in like sardines, abused by the local knuckle-draggers (and Luton is the birthplace of the EDL, don't forget) and surrounded by squalor and decay.
Tough choice, but on balance it's York for me. |

| This one season 'rivalry' with Luton was 10 years ago. Joe Kinnear has long since disappeared off the scene. I doubt many Luton fans will remember or care what happened back then. |

But never been to york, so them for me. |

| Luton deserve to get back up after what happened to them re their finances and dropping down the league. |

| Not too bothered which one. York is a nice place but a long way to go. Luton is a s**thole but closer to home for me. Kinnear was a complete w***er! _______________________________________ I'm one of the common people so says the wife!

| Shame for Luton
The team I really feel sorry for is Wrexham who finished 2nd 15 points ahead of York. And to think we spent all season flirting with being dumped out of the FL into that graveyard of a league. Disgraceful!!!!! Sort it out brent - sack fletcher and open ya wallet or f*** off!!! |

| Shame for Luton and i bet their fans are absolutely gutted....living proof of just how hard a League the Conference is to get out of, and to think if we had gone down this season that many on Pasoti were shunning it off as just a "quick season or 2" before we would be back in the League again.....how shockingly Aviva, short sighted,and blinkered most are over on that despicable website. I remember back in the first Luggy promotion season going to Luton, being confined to drink in that dingy pub with their idiots on the outside pelting us with the odd stone or 2, then being marched up to the ground as if we were on some kind of protest march , the game wasn't one to remember, well beaten 2 0r 3 nil i think? Some of our own idiots got done in by some local Asians after the game i seem to re-call.....thank goodness times have moved on, that was about 10 years ago i think , although it seems lots less then that, such has been the scale of our demise |

| I've never quite understood the need for playoffs for promotion personally. It is exciting for the winners and a day out at Wembley but for the rest it's agony. Why play 46 games in a season with points awarded for results then for the team with more points than anyone else to have to play in a lottery with other teams for the privilege of going up and often losing out. Anything goes to get the last pound out of supporters pockets I suppose.
Didn't much care who won today out of the two of them but for away supporters a day out in York has to be a better option I'd guess. Nice City and somewhere you could make a long weekend out of.
