over three orfour years, over three or four years, so when the club go back down, they don't have a massive contraction as well. i know there is an awful lot of talker and parachute payments and whether they will continue on within football, but it is to allow for the fact that is such a greatjob... fik. fact that is such a great 'ob. .. 0k. yeah, just — fact that is such a great 'ob. .. 0k. yeah. just going _ fact that is such a great 'ob. .. 0k. yeah, just going to _ fact that is such a greatjob... 0k. yeah, just going to move over to nicky schiller, who was on the bus route for us, i think they are coming your way!— route for us, i think they are coming your way! they are literally 'ust coming your way! they are literally just passing _ coming your way! they are literally just passing me — coming your way! they are literally just passing me as _ coming your way! they are literally just passing me as you _ coming your way! they are literally just passing me as you speak, - coming your way! they are literally just passing me as you speak, the| just passing me as you speak, the buzz, and you can see all the fans following them as well, but there are the luton town players, i'm going to try and keep up with this bus, which my skills of running might not do, they are going a little bit faster, because we are not far from st george's square, so that crowd in st george's square have been waiting since ten o'clock this morning, a lot of them, and thatis this morning, a lot of them, and that is why it is speeding up. it has been through the park, which is

the area where kenilworth road actually is, and that, as you can tell, meant that... actually is, and that, as you can tell, meant that. . ._ actually is, and that, as you can tell, meant that... oh, we are 'ust losin: tell, meant that... oh, we are 'ust losing nicky — tell, meant that... oh, we are 'ust losing nicky there, i tell, meant that... oh, we are 'ust losing nicky there, as i tell, meant that... oh, we are 'ust losing nicky there, as he i tell, meant that... oh, we arejust losing nicky there, as he sprints i losing nicky there, as he sprints along the side of the road, they were going so slowly before they got to him, and i suddenly got a bit of clear road and really put their foot down. anyway, that bus, with all the players on board and the trophy, resort going onto the bus earlier, nicky, are you with us? no! no, he is trying to make his way, and the bus is... oh, go on, nicky. is trying to make his way, and the bus is... 0h, go on, nicky.- bus is... 0h, go on, nicky. yeah, no, the bus is... oh, go on, nicky. yeah, no. the bus— bus is... 0h, go on, nicky. yeah, no, the bus has _ bus is... 0h, go on, nicky. yeah, no, the bus has now _ bus is... 0h, go on, nicky. yeah, no, the bus has now turned - bus is... 0h, go on, nicky. yeah, i no, the bus has now turned right, and as you can see, all the fans that we are behind the bus are now running, because they want to get into st george's square, you can see them all running with me as well, because st george's square is probably less than... filth.

because st george's square is probably less than... 0h, nicky! i think we have _ probably less than... 0h, nicky! i think we have lost! _ probably less than... 0h, nicky! i think we have lost! let's - probably less than... 0h, nicky! i think we have lost! let's go - probably less than... 0h, nicky! i think we have lost! let's go back| probably less than... 0h, nicky! i. think we have lost! let's go back to those pictures of the bus. it has slowed down a bit, those pictures of the bus. it has slowed down a hit, it is making its way to the city centre, with nicky schiller in pursuit. he will be there any minute, i am sure, this is there any minute, i am sure, this is the scene, this is what they will be greeted by, thousands and thousands of luton town fans with their flags ready, the sea of orange, the council asked people to paint the town orange, and they are certainly doing it. ithink town orange, and they are certainly doing it. i think nicky are still talking as he runs, shall we go back to him? no, 0k, fair enough! so this is the scene waiting for those luton town players in the centre of luton, st george's square, they have been watching highlights on the screen up there last season, really revelling

in this victory, you will all remember, isuppose, on in this victory, you will all remember, i suppose, on saturday they beat coventry city in sudden death penalties, the championship play—off final, sending them back to the top flight for the first time in 31 years. it really has been an epic journey for them. a bit of a fairy tale ascent from non—league to the top flight injust tale ascent from non—league to the top flight in just few years, and really the fans are really behind them, they could really get the sense of pride coming through today from all of the people we have been hearing from, even a fan who is in no way until changed his middle name to luton. so a sense of how much this means to everybody there, including the changes on the way, not least because of the money on the way, estimated to be £170 million they will get over the next few seasons, that money coming through in terms of tv money, really, i suppose, through in terms of tv money, really, isuppose, also

through in terms of tv money, really, i suppose, also the sponsorship, and we will be watching over the next couple of months to see which new players they would bring in and whether they will make huge changes to the line—up or not, because if you hear one thing about the team, it is that they play so well together, and that is how they have managed to do what they have over the last few years so far without huge amounts of cash injected in. but they will be getting a lot more money, and they will need it, around £10— 12 to update kenilworth road, which we were seeing pictures of earlier, which isjust were seeing pictures of earlier, which is just a very small capacity, 10,000 capacity. there we are, the bus arriving in the city, let's listen as they are greeted by their fans. cheering lits microwave there was flags, they are here, you're premier league luton town! —— let's wave those

flags! music plays sarah mulkerrins is with me, they are lapping up this arrival, aren't they? look at everybody, so excited, the players with their arms in the air, the trophy aloft, what a moment. it air, the trophy aloft, what a moment-— air, the trophy aloft, what a moment. . ., i, ., moment. it certainly is, i cannot wait to see _ moment. it certainly is, i cannot wait to see all _ moment. it certainly is, i cannot wait to see all the _ moment. it certainly is, i cannot wait to see all the foreign - moment. it certainly is, i cannot| wait to see all the foreign videos that i'm sure they will have on their various social media accounts, filming this really special moment for themselves, they have worked so hard all season, and they came through such a dramatic championship play—off final, one golub in the first half, they were in control, captain tom lockyer went down, injury or a happening that cause great concern, he was taken to

hospital, and he is all right, and we know that, and then, you know, coventry came back into things in the second half, it went all the way to extra time and then penalties, they had to hold their nerve all the way along to finally reach the top flight of english football, and they did it in that penalty shoot—out, winning 6—5, brilliant for those luton fans, agonising for coventry, the other team in the final, to have lost out in the way they did, but luton town will have been dreaming of this all season, planning and hoping and daring to believe, and today, you know, and the last couple of days for these players, this is the culmination of all that hard work, and they can finally breathe out and relax into it and enjoy it, and the fans all around them cheering on the famous orange that they have, they are there supporting them, and it is a real moment for them, and it is a real moment for them today. them, and it is a real moment for them today-— them today. yeah, and were 'ust watchin: them today. yeah, and were 'ust watching the fi them today. yeah, and were just| watching the crowd, all the flags,

orange smoke in the air, there has been confetti, and the bus journey accompanied with little smoke bombs everywhere, it really is a sea of colour, you can see thousands of people have gathered, and you can see them stretching out in surrounding roads, and people followed the bus from kenilworth road. we are expecting the players to get out of the bus and go up on stage, they have the trophy already, we have seen them showing it off two players, but they will be officially given it by the town's mayor, then we will hear from some of the players at the club, who had been there since ten o'clock this morning, those fans, they have not drifted away at all, even though we were expecting the match 12:15, and they are a little bit late because apparently they had a lot of

celebrating to do over the last couple of days, and it is not going to stop anytime soon. thetgt couple of days, and it is not going to stop anytime soon.— to stop anytime soon. they will celebrating _ to stop anytime soon. they will celebrating long into _ to stop anytime soon. they will celebrating long into those - celebrating long into those holidays over the next month or so before they regroup and think about how they regroup and think about how they can, you know, attack the premier league, how they can get on as a team, what tactics they may need to work on, what players they will be potentially welcoming into the squad, and it is lovely for luton themselves, for the town around it, and everything that will go into luton town being a premier league club, everything that goes along with increased attention, people all around the world knowing more about luton with people wanting to go to matches there. there will be an awful lot of fans from other clubs wanting to visit kenilworth road, which harks back to the old days of football, only 10,000 people

able to fit into the stadium, and how you get into it around those residential streets with the terraced houses, ithink residential streets with the terraced houses, i think it is going to be quite a destination stadium for a lot of the premier league fans, so there will be increased attention and focus and all the bonuses that come with that for and the surroundings itself, you know, it will really benefit in ways more than just the football and the fans in it, and it will be, as i say, a destination for the other fans, and for those players, taking this moment behind the stage to perhaps to reflect a little bit on the scene is that they have just experienced on that very slow bus ride in, where they have been, you know, celebrated. cannot hear the outcome. yes, here they come on stage. medals around their— yes, here they come on stage. medals around their chest, _ yes, here they come on stage. medals around their chest, they _ yes, here they come on stage. medals around their chest, they are _ around their chest, they are clapping the fans, everybody smiling, what a lovely scene in luton, sarah, they are absolutely
