Forgive my ignorance, but it's been a very long time since I was in England. Does Luton Town still have that awful astro turf ground? It used to be a very big achiles heel of Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool team. I remembered that we once went there as the FA cup holders and was beaten 3-0.

No they got rid of astro turf a while back i think Ariz
When i lived in England for a year in 1986 ( a great year as a red to be in the UK). I saw two matches, the visit to mecca and standing in the Kop was everything i expected it to be and much more.
The other game i saw was in London at Loftus road against QPR who also had that astro turf as well, what a joke that game was.
Though Liverpool did win it

no mate, the league made them get rid of it. i remember that game well, it was live on t.v back in the days when not many games were, i think the t.v people rightly suspected that the premier team at the time i.e us, might come a cropper on that joke of a pitch and they were right. the ball bounced about a mile in the air from goal kicks and most of the players had tracksuit bottoms on to avoid burns when sliding for the ball. we looked lost on that pitch. i`m sure but not certain that steve foster, the iconic centre half of the eighties who used to wear a white headband was in their side that night.
