face before, during and after a Conference clash. Sound Police tactics won the day and kept the violence under control. 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. This caused the York players to be taken up to the top of the away stand for safety, and to prevent the Luton hooligans from being able to attack them. This did not work as the Luton hooligans started throwing coins, bottles and other missiles at the York players and fans. 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 Luton hooligans did not stop in the stadium as they rioted for hours after the match through the streets of Luton. By 23 September 2011 6 Luton men were jailed for up to 13 months in prison and 23 other offenders received lesser sentences. https://www.heart.co.uk/dunstable/news/local/6-men-jailed-football-violence/ Football hooligans from Lincoln and Luton were jailed in December 2013 for a total of almost 30 years for attack on rival fans before Lincoln City and Luton Town football match in October 2012. In April 2015, the MIGs were involved in violent clashes with Southend United CS Crew Youth hooligans outside Roots Hall resulting in two Luton fans requiring hospital treatment, one for a head injury. The BBC reports that in August 2018 outbreak of fighting before Luton Town vs Southend United resulted in sentences of between 8 and 31 months plus a total of 47 years of football banning orders for Luton hooligans. Prosecutor Thomas Godfrey told the court the clash had all the "hallmarks" of being "orchestrated" and arranged in advance. The banning orders mean those convicted cannot attend any club games or international fixtures in the UK or follow England abroad. In addition, the men cannot go into Luton town centre when the club is playing at home or go to any town or city where the team is playing an away match. October 2019 Luton Town and Millwall supporters continued their long history of rivalry, which once again saw clashes between the opposing hooligan elements. Crowds gathered after the game, and it seemed as things may turn ugly, but the police eventually had the majority of it under control, separating both groups, and fans made their way home.
