Details

Welcome to They Tried To Kill Us Off – the newly independent Luton Town podcast, hosted by Kev and Jimbo. If you've noticed things look a little different... don't worry. You're in exactly the right place. After nine seasons as the Luton Town Supporters' Trust Podcast, we're starting a new chapter. We're now an independent podcast, but we're still the same podcast you've been listening to and watching since 2017. And if you're already subscribed to this podcast, you don't need to do a thing. Your subscription stays exactly where it is and you'll continue to get all our podcasts here as normal. Our new moniker comes from a famous chant every Luton supporter knows. It's about resilience, sticking together and refusing to be beaten. Luton against the world. We think it perfectly captures what supporting this football club is all about. We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone at the Luton Town Supporters' Trust for their support over the past nine seasons and for helping us get to where we are today. We're incredibly grateful for everything we've been able to do together and we're delighted that the podcast can continue into this new chapter. And while this podcast channel remains exactly where it is, we've also got brand new social media accounts. We'd really appreciate it if you'd followed us there as well and join us for the next chapter: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheyTriedPod  Facebook: facebook.com/TheyTriedLTFC X: x.com/TheyTriedLTFC Instagram: instagram.com/TheyTriedLTFC

THE SCARIEST ATTACK IN LEAGUE ONE?! 😳 Huddersfield v Luton preview
It's the toughest test of the season so far! 😬 Luton Town are back on the road tonight to face league leaders Huddersfield Town at the Accu Stadium in a huge League One clash. Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe and Town fan Mark Crowther to get stuck into the big questions ahead of the trip to Yorkshire. Huddersfield are top for a reason, with some frightening attacking statistics and the division's leading goalscorers. But Luton aren't far behind, sitting second in the scoring charts themselves. So how can the Hatters hurt the Terriers? Could Jack Wilshere change his formation for the challenge and, if he does, who might benefit from a tactical reshuffle? The lads discuss Huddersfield's biggest threats, the potential Luton line-up, how Town can get after the league leaders and, of course, make their score predictions. There's also the great chips and gravy debate! What camp do you fall into? All this and plenty more on the longest-running, award-nominated Luton Town podcast, They Tried To Kill Us Off. 🧡 COYH!

A PROMOTION-WINNING PERFORMANCE?! 🤯 FOUR in a row! | Peterborough 0 Luton 2
🤯 FOUR WINS ON THE SPIN! AND THIS ONE FELT DIFFERENT! Luton Town beat Peterborough United 2-0 at London Road to make it FOUR CONSECUTIVE WINS — their first run of four league victories in succession in League One since their promotion-winning campaign in 2018/2019! And was this a glimpse of something special? Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe and guest Mark Crowther, the Town fan and fundraiser, to reflect on a hugely encouraging afternoon for Jack Wilshere's men. The boys go through the 90 minutes, looking closely at Luton's impressive starts to both halves, the many positives on and off the pitch and the areas where the Hatters still need to improve. There's plenty of discussion around what this winning run means, with one particularly telling assessment of the performance: "This was an away performance of a team that gets promoted." And with the belief growing, could Luton really be on the way to something special? Mark also joins us to talk about his latest charity adventure, the four causes he's raising money for, why they mean so much to him and what inspired him to take on another mammoth bike riding challenge when he said he was finished. You can donate to Mark's 'Every Mind Matters' fundraiser here: https://www.justgiving.com/team/everymindmattershattersawaychallenge2 Plus, we get stuck into plenty of your comments on the latest episode of They Tried To Kill Us Off, the award-nominated independent Luton Town podcast! 💬 What did you make of Luton's performance?

THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER! 🧡🔥 Luton Town have completed a perfect week at Kenilworth Road, beating Doncaster Rovers 3-1 to make it three wins from three home games and NINE POINTS FROM NINE! Jamie Donley struck a stunning brace, while Callum Marshall got the Hatters on their way from the penalty spot.
