Luton Town pack their bags to visit Hartlepool United at Victoria Park on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having managed to conjure up just 2 wins from the previous 6 games.
The previous match played between the two at Victoria Park was within the last three years, in December 2001, with Luton Town inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Pool in a League Division Three match.
