S7 E1: Premier League - here we come, summer signings, sunstroke and Ross Barkley

We've made it! We started covering Luton Town in the fourth tier of English football back in 2017/18 and now, as the longest-running Hatters podcast, we begin season 7 as the only one-club football show to have gone from League Two to the Premier League.  On this episode we preview our first-ever season in the Premier League, talk transfers after a summer in which Town had signed, broken their transfer record three times and added eight new recruits (at the time of recording, but it's now nine) with Ross Barkley of ex Everton, Chelsea and England international fame added to the squad a few hours before we recorded.  We discuss the new rules that will be brought in this season, including the introduction of World Cup time-keeping and players approaching referees.  And we touch on the first game, the Premier League curtain-raiser away to Brighton and Hove Albion, but more on that in our next match preview podcast.   To celebrate our town, our club and our pod's own little piece of history, and a return to the big time after 31 years away we've had a Premier League glow-up, with brand-new retro style Panini sticker-inspired artwork, a new podcast logo (thanks to Ed Smith) and a new, old-school theme tune (courtesy of Seán Grant and the Wolfgang).... and that's just the start. We've got a few more tricks up our sleeves and we can't wait to reveal them to you. But for the first time, this term, WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE! **************************************************************** Check out Ed Smith Creative at: www.edsmithcreative.co.uk Check out Seán Grant and the Wolfgang at: https://linktr.ee/sgwolfgang
