ERLING HAALAND is in for a culture shock if Luton complete their rags-toriches rise – but supremo Gary Sweet says it will be a taste of “real life”.
Cheap shots ab out Kenilworth Road’s ramshackle charms – notably the away fans’ entrance through neighbours’ back gardens – have been two-apenny on social media.
And if they win the £180million promotion shootout with Coventry at Wembley on Saturday, chief executive Sweet confirmed they will make an immediate £10m dent in the jackpot to comply with Premier League criteria by rebuilding one stand in just 12 WEEKS.
The Hatters hope their DIY SOS will only be a temporary makeover, with plans to move to a new stadium at Power Court in the town centre finally nearing the first spade in the ground.
So if Manchester City’s 52goal Norwegian sensation rocks up in August, he had better be ready – because whatever Luton’s time-warp home lacks in finesse, the volume will be noisier than an all-night rave.
