Cherries clash is rescheduled as Luton get just over 1,500 tickets for Liverpool trip

Luton’s Premier League fixture at AFC Bournemouth has been rearranged for next month, with the game now taking place on Wednesday, March 13 at 7.30pm.

The original fixture back in December was abandoned when Town captain Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch just before the hour mark with the scores level at 1-1. He has since undergone surgery to have an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) fitted, but was back at the Brache last week to receive a special encased football for making his top flight debut this season, and also able to attend his first Luton match the next day, watching the Hatters hammer Brighton & Hove Albion.

Further information on tickets to be released in due course, but the Hatters have received an allocation of 1,626 safe standing tickets for their trip to Liverpool later this month. The game has been brought forward to Wednesday, February 21 due to the Reds being involved in the Carabao Cup Final against Chelsea the following Saturday.
