Re: LTN bailing out the council for the Love Luton festival. Is that really a bad thing? Its like a marketing budget for the town; you probably expect to make a profit, but if you don't, its spent on good column inches for the town - something it wrongly doesn't seem to get that often.
FAO runway08 - maybe the council could fund a new stadium from the airport fees? I won't hold my breath, but here's hoping!!
