Well, this is unique. Luton Town announced today that Chelsea have signed three players from the
Hatters' youth academy.
According to the Luton Town website:
Brothers Rio, Cole and Jay Dasilva have signed terms with the Blues in separate transfers each
worth five figures which will in total net the Town a suitable sum.
Often, when push comes to shove in radicalising a group of football supporters, it will take
one, symbolic moment to push those that might otherwise have merely got on with the job of watching
their team to realise that the time for action is now.
For those that follow the ailing Blue Square Premier club Kettering Town, that moment may have
come at any of three or four different occasions over the last month or so, but the tipping point
for many may have cone with twin five-goal defeats at the hands of Luton Town over Christmas and
the New Year (results which plunged the club back into the thick of the relegation places at the
bottom of the table), it with the release of an official club statement which sought,
unsurprisingly enough, to place the blame for the club's woes at the foot of everybody but those
with the overall responsibility for managing its finances.

This is, believe it or not, a plastic match ticket, found by Dad recently while tidying up.
Dad used to take me to Kenilworth Road, Luton for a few seasons, the Sealy-Foster-Hill-
Harford-Stein side. We saw some great games on Luton's infamous plastic pitch, always from the
very front of the terrace, right behind the goal.
This match was supposed to be a foregone conclusion. Indeed, the final aggregate score
perpetuates that feeling. Truth, however, can be stranger than fiction and the supporters of
Wrexham FC can be justifiably proud of the performance of their team at Kenilworth Road this
evening. In the first leg of this Blue Square Premier play-off, Luton Town put in a display of
consumate professionalism at The Racecourse Ground as the home side froze on their big night.
