Luton Town: Hatters confirm pre-season friendly schedule

Comments (0)

Luton Town have announced their pre-season schedule – with 11 friendlies penciled in to serve as preparation for the 2015/16 campaign.

The Hatters will welcome League One sides Coventry City and Walsall to Kenilworth Road while the highest level opposition they will face are Brentford, who could be a Premier League club as they are due to contest the Championship play-offs.

That fixture could also see former star striker Andre Gray – who departed Luton for the Bees last summer – make his Kenilworth Road return.

The rest of the schedule sees Luton visit a string of non-league sides – although a trip overseas to face Royal Antwerp failed to come to fruition due to the Belgian club’s financial difficulties.

Antwerp visited Kenilworth Road last summer and brought a large following across which created an excellent atmosphere.

Luton aim to play them again once Antwerp are back on a secure financial footing.
