[5] A group of MIGs hooligans were involved in a mass brawl with members of the Lea Valley chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club at the Blockers Arms public house in Luton in May 1990.
[6] In March 2000, on the fifteenth anniversary of the Luton riot, a group calling themselves "BOLTS Crew and MIGs 2000" were blamed for revenge attacks on Millwall fans when the two teams met at Kenilworth Road.
[4] Bedfordshire Police said that they were aware, weeks before the match, of plans by original members of the BOLTS Crew and MIGs 2000, to attack Millwall fans in retribution for the events of 1985.
About 30 MIG 2000 threw bottles at the Duke of Clarence in Upper George Street at about 1:30 pm and tried to force their way into the pub to attack Millwall fans peacefully drinking inside.
Police had to deal with a similar incident an hour later outside the Nelson Flagship pub in Dunstable Road when the Luton gang had doubled.
[8] A local Luton newspaper reported that the MIGs had met in the Nags Head Inn in Dunstable the previous Monday evening, 29 October, to draw up a "battle plan".
The kick-off was delayed 15 minutes and riot police eventually restored order by forcing the fans back into their seats and blocking off the area behind the Vicarage Road goal.
[1] Bedfordshire Police had received money to help stamp out hooliganism, with £200,000 earmarked for an investigation into the fighting at the Watford match in the 2002–03 season and some going toward preventing opposing fans from causing trouble that season with Luton apparently being seen as an easy target, and Luton followers seen as an "easy touch" by other hooligan firms.
[14] and a day later six Luton fans were jailed for between eight and fourteen months for their part in the fight at the Moon Under Water pub.
[12] A report by the BBC in April 2005 "found Luton to be largely free from football hooliganism - high or low-level.
"[15] In November 2005, Police arrested 18 Luton hooligans after fighting broke out at the Black Horse, in Coventry Road as yobs battled each other both inside and outside the premises, using bar furniture as weapons.
[17] In addition to the trouble at the game, ten Luton hooligans were banned from football matches in England and Wales for up to five years.
[20] In March 2010 reports stated Hayes and Yeading wanted Luton to be promoted from the Conference - so they would not have to play them the following season.
[21] On 4 May 2010 Luton hooligans stormed onto the Kenilworth Road pitch after losing 2-0 on aggregate in the play-off semi-finals to York City.
Richard Brodie, a York striker, told the police that he was hit on the head with a pound coin after he was ushered back into safety.
The banning orders mean those convicted cannot attend any club games or international fixtures in the UK or follow England abroad.
