Nothing. But Brighton and Brentford are nicer.

I watched Wimbledon v Chesterfield, and won't be getting those two hours back. Even watched the first half an hour of Sheff Utd v Cardiff, and then went to do something more productive.
We’re been indoctrinated into quality football. I watched the first half of Pompey v Leeds a few weeks ago, Pompey deliberately turned it into a hoof/100 mph arm wrestle, awful football. And succeeded. By contrast Leicester and Ipswich this season have played football light years better than that in aesthetic terms.

Yup. We turn up to The Amex once a fortnight and are treated to some of the greatest players in the world. Jonathan Liew said our game against Bournemouth as the best of the season, and "like watching football from the future".
And yet some really do like to moan. I'm just grateful. Thank you Tony Bloom

That was brilliant, two similar teams slugging out a 6 key pointer, with great football.
But when we had vital Webster and Rutter. Sorry, had to say that … second half versus Leicester was a million miles away from those heights.

Yes, we were dire in that second half (or last half hour), just like we were the week before
...... but still light years ahead what Leeds can offer up

I’m normally very much a one game at a time person. But as with this time last season I’ve more of an eye on the transfer window (incomings), optimistic that TB will deal with the obvious deficiencies … or to put it another way, what tools he’ll provide FH with. The 6 fixtures feel like expect little, anything will be a bonus.
Look, it’s not difficult
Brighton is a nicer place than Brentford.
Brentford is a nicer place than Derby.
Derby is a FAR nicer place than Luton.
Source: I have visited all these places.
If you disagree then so be it.

Ah, but then you add a complication to a such a general summary. There will be parts of Derby which are nicer than parts of Luton, but also parts of Luton that will be nicer than parts of Brighton. I have also been to all four and would say that the term 'nicer' also has a wide range of considerations depending on the individuals view.
Derby, of course, has a county cricket ground. Much division on its niceness.

If you only visit the football ground and we all know football fans can be knobheads I don’t think you can judge an area properly. Around Brentfords old ground is grimy council estates with twats walking around with devil dogs thinking they are ard. Since the relocation to ‘ Chiswick’ by all accounts yes it’s nicer.

Prog off!
I think the original post suggested Derby and Luton lacked that intangible football quality "glamour."
There has then been a discussion about the superior qualities of Brighton and Brentford as places rather than sources of football glamour (henceforward, xFG).
This misses the reality that for most people away from this board, the notion that any of the four teams have any real football glamour compared to locales as Old Trafford, San Siro, the Maracana and The Velodrome is risible.
We would be the first to complain when "Top Six" fans sneer at our derby against Palace, but have punched down at two teams in a decent scrap at the bottom of the division below us. Which on the last few games' form could be us in a couple of years
