HistoryThe first organised match of association football in Luton took place at Dallow Lane on 23 October 1880 – a fifteen-a-side match between Excelsior and Luton Rovers.[1] Excelsior, a local works team, emerged as 2–0 victors and remained at the ground until the merger with Luton Town Wanderers in 1885 to become Luton Town Football Club.[1][2] The new club decided to base itself at Excelsior's Dallow Lane.[2] Dallow Lane, also known as the Excelsior Ground,[2] had a capacity of about 7,000[3] – most spectators would simply stand behind a rope close to the pitch,[7] and there was a seated grandstand constructed in 1894. The stand was "120 feet long, 18 feet high, 13 feet deep and [had] five tiers of seats".[4] Due to Dallow Lane's close proximity to the Luton to Dunstable railway line, players claimed to have trouble playing due to smoke from the engines.[5] The club made a damaging financial loss during 1896–97 and was forced to sell the ground to stay afloat.[6] Luton Town left Dallow Lane in April to play at Dunstable Road.[7] The Dallow Lane grandstand remained on the site until the mid-20th century, used as a store shed.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite book | title=The Definitive Luton Town F.C | publisher=Soccerdata | first= Steve | last= Bailey | date=December 1997 | page = 7 | isbn=1-899468-10-2}} {{Luton Town F.C.}}2. ^1 2 {{cite book | title=The Luton Town Story 1885–1985 | publisher=Luton Town F.C | first= Timothy | last= Collings | year=1985 | page = 1–2 | isbn=0-951067-90-7}} 3. ^Bailey, p90 4. ^Collings, p8 5. ^1 2 Collings, pp3–4 6. ^Collings, p11 7. ^Collings, p12 4 : Luton Town F.C.|Sports venues in Bedfordshire|Defunct football venues in England|Culture in Luton |
