Luton are set to rename their ground Prostate Cancer UK Stadium for one day only

Luton Town have made a bold move in their attempts to make more people aware of prostate cancer.

Next Tuesday, when Luton host Wycombe Wanderers, the match will be taking place at the Prostate Cancer UK Stadium rather than Kenilworth Road. That's because the League Two side have renamed their ground for the day in the hope of raising awareness of the disease that kills 10,000 men a year. The Hatters chairman chief executive said of the name change:

"Given the statistics, there’s every chance that by helping to increase the awareness of this disease and the charity, that someone’s son, father or grandfather could be helped by spotting the signs early and seeking help. This is a first for Luton Town and a first in football and we are delighted to be teaming up with a charity which has supported the game, in particular supporters and players past and present, so well. "

This is the first known case of a football ground being renamed in aid of a charity and we can only applaud all at Luton for making the truly admirable move.
