Mad as Hatters

I am meeting a Hatter tomorrow morning to discuss Saturday's game between Luton Town and Charlton Athletic.

Meanwhile, it has been announced that 'Bedfordshire Police will be running a free bussing operation for all Charlton fans attending the above game. The busses [sic] will be located at the train station and can be utilised to get to and from Kenilworth Road Station [stadium?] Officers will be at the station to assist and answer any questions. Luton has a guided busway system which if circumstances allow, will be able to get Charlton fans to the ground and back from the stadium to the station within 2 minutes.'

I do not know what you are supposed to do if you intend to go by car. Presumably the bus operation is in part intended to deal with all the Addicks hard men that will be arriving (including the Bloke Behind Me who lives in the area). Perhaps there are memories of the notorious visit by Millwall to Kenilworth Road in 1985 which influenced Mrs Thatcher's stance on football: Riot
