Luton boss Mick Harford has labelled the Football League "unjust and unfair" after rearranged fixtures pitted them with four games in 10 days.

The Hatters had hoped last week's abandoned game against Chester would be rescheduled for February 10, but instead the game has been rearranged for Tuesday, February 12 - leaving Harford's side with four crucial games in under a fortnight.

"I'm very disappointed with the Football League. We have now got to go to Chester on the Tuesday and Darlington on the Saturday and then to Brighton on the Tuesday," Harford told Luton Today.

"We've got four games in 10 days and four very important games when there is a free week on February 10.

"I know the reason they have put this game in is because Chester need the money and the Football League have gone against our wishes.

"There is a pattern developing. We feel it's very unjust and unfair to make us play four games in 10 days - especially with the importance and the travelling we have got to do."
