In light of our statement on Monday evening referencing an issue regarding the covering of the ‘Betrayed by the FA’ flag during the England under-21 match against Austria at Kenilworth Road, we can now offer an update.
LTST strongly condemns the covering up of the flag and as such we have contacted the football club and have been advised that this was not their decision.
The FA hired the ground and we understand that when they did so the club insisted that the flag was untouched.
It turns out that the banner was rolled up shortly before the gates opened. Despite it being unrolled, someone ordered it to be rolled up again.
LTST therefore calls on the FA to offer Luton supporters a full apology for allowing this action to go ahead and would expect that any future ground hire comes with a guarantee that items within a venue are left untouched.
