29th October 1996-New Division Two, Watford 1 Luton Town 1

BSAD imageBSAD report:It makes a change for us to play Luton when they’re on a roll – it’s usually us enjoying a good run which, inevitably, comes to a sticky end against our local rivals. But nothing much changes – April 1987 was the last time we beat them in a proper match (the Anglo-Italian cup, in which you were allowed to name everyone in the ground as a substitute and play rush goalie, doesn’t count and we know it).

The most important local derby for years and, perhaps inevitably, it ends in massive anticlimax. We may be able to take some consolation from the fact that Luton’s season has been as bad as ours but the knowledge that we’ll have to visit this hellhole of an away end (where there’s so little legroom you can’t even sit in the seat you’ve paid stlg 12.50 for) next season doesn’t exactly fill my heart with joy.

21st November 1995- New Division One, Watford 1 Luton Town 1

Eight and a half bloody years! If you don’t count the Anglo-Italian (and, let’s face it, nobody does), that’s how long it is since we beat Luton. To Watford fans, that really hurts. On the evidence of this awful performance, we’ll be waiting for a hell of a long time.
