Sweet plays down Antwerp friendly concerns

Hatters managing director Gary Sweet has played down any concerns regarding Town’s home pre-season friendly against Belgian side Royal Antwerp.

The Antwerp Community Trust (ACT), claimed that Bedfordshire Police demanded additional security for the game on Saturday, July 26, costing €5,000, which has been paid for by the trust.

But Sweet said: “That’s not quite true.

“The police don’t make demands on costs this far in advance, however we are aware that there could be a heavy charge, which we’ll absorb.”

Tickets for the Antwerp clash are: Adults £12, over-65s and under-17s £6 and accompanied under-10s £1.
