Welcome to They Tried To Kill Us Off – the newly independent Luton Town podcast, hosted by Kev and Jimbo.
If you've noticed things look a little different... don't worry. You're in exactly the right place.
After nine seasons as the Luton Town Supporters' Trust Podcast, we're starting a new chapter. We're now an independent podcast, but we're still the same podcast you've been listening to and watching since 2017.
And if you're already subscribed to this podcast, you don't need to do a thing. Your subscription stays exactly where it is and you'll continue to get all our podcasts here as normal.
Our new moniker comes from a famous chant every Luton supporter knows. It's about resilience, sticking together and refusing to be beaten. Luton against the world. We think it perfectly captures what supporting this football club is all about.
We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone at the Luton Town Supporters' Trust for their support over the past nine seasons and for helping us get to where we are today. We're incredibly grateful for everything we've been able to do together and we're delighted that the podcast can continue into this new chapter.
And while this podcast channel remains exactly where it is, we've also got brand new social media accounts. We'd really appreciate it if you'd followed us there as well and join us for the next chapter:

In the third edition of our interview series with key figures at Luton Town, Jimbo picks the brains of new Luton assistant manager Chris Powell. Thoughtful, inspiring and refreshingly honest, he provides a powerful insight into leadership, belief and what it takes to build a winning culture.
The former England coach and current Luton Town staff member shares lessons from working under Gareth Southgate, reflects on England’s transformation, and explains how he’ll help to shape Luton’s next chapter.
🧠 How do you create unity?
⚽ What really changed behind the scenes with England?
🔶 How does Powell believe Luton's fortunes can be turned around?
He talks candidly about his experiences in turning around the cultures at Charlton Athletic and the England international team and the things he and boss Jack Wilshere can help instil in their new Luton side.
From a man who's been there, done it and got the t-shirt over a vastly experienced playing and coaching career, when Chris Powell talks it's always an interesting and insightful listen.
