At Kenilworth Road, the developers have arrived. As industrial vehicles return to place to complete heavy lifting and scaffolding bedecks the outer perimeter of England's tightest ground, jutting as the stadium's maze of terraced houses winds on Beech Road and Oak Road. Tarpaulin covers the pitch that will host West Ham next month as £10 million of work is completed to bring the stadium up to par. Welcome to the Premier League. Luton Town are the team that appears to have blagged their way through security to gatecrash the elite club. Luton has been in administration three times, near to extinction, and has been suspended 40 points in total since being out of League for five years, and the first flight was 1992-92, but the top flight was in 1991-92. They are also back. So where do you start with their rise and fall and rise again? Given the Hollywood giants' football fairy tale, it could have been ten years ago at Wrexham in the fifth-tier National League, with Luton at their nadir.
