Watford brutally troll Luton over Kenilworth Road stadium recently branded ‘a shambles’ – but Hatters have last laugh
Watford mocked Luton Town’s home of Kenilworth Road before their clash, but the occupants were the real winners. The Hatters beat the Hornets 3-0 on Saturday afternoon in what is dubbed as the ‘M1’ derby after some social media mind games from their rivals. Watford mocked rivals Luton with a seemingly sarcastic social media post@WatfordFC X Their home of Kenilworth Road was built in 1905 and is famed for its old school appearance and an away end entrance that traverses over the backs of terraced houses. talkSPORT’s Adrian Durham isn’t the biggest fan of Luton’s stadium, as he ranked it 22nd out of all 24 teams in the Championship. “It’s a shambles, isn’t it? It’s just rubbish,” he said, before adding: “It’s a terrible ground, truly awful ground that they spend no money on whatsoever.” And Luton’s bitter rivals Watford weren’t shy to mockingly take aim at the ground just hours before they kick off in Bedfordshire.
