Luton Town: from non-league to the verge of a Premier League ... (The Guardian)

Nathan Jones's side take on Huddersfield in the Championship playoff first leg on Friday and are three games away from promotion to the Premier League.

“It is every credit to everyone who stuck with the club through very dark days,” Still says. It is a similar story at Huddersfield, the visitors in the playoff first leg on Friday, whose squad cost about £2.3m. Both have defied the notion that financial muscle is the only way to compete. “Nathan is clearly vital to this, and very good at it, but I’d argue that it’s the wider team of great people we have working in every office, every changing room, every kitchen and around every square inch of the club that attracted him back home. They could be sitting halfway down the league [Championship] and going: ‘Well, we’ve done the job we set out to do.’ But all of a sudden there’s a bigger thing tapping them on the shoulder and I’m not sure they would have believed they would be doing that.” Sweet acknowledges there is “a comedy factor” around the prospect of the creaking and charismatic Kenilworth Road hosting Premier League matches. Hyde have just finished 18th in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, the seventh tier, while Luton are two games from a Championship playoff final and three from discovering the glitz of the Premier League, 30 years on from last tasting the top flight.
