Luton's inevitable relegation from the Football League has finally been confirmed after they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Chesterfield.

The result leaves Luton on 24 points with four games to play, 13 behind 22-placed Grimbsy who won 2-0 at Notts County. The Hatters always seemed likely for the drop after they were deducted 30 points before the start of the season, although their response has been admirable, and without that punishment, they would lie in 15th.

Grimsby are not safe from the drop however, as the side immediately above Luton, Chester, beat Accrington Stanley 1-0 to leave them just one point behind their relegation rivals with three games left to play.
