Odd goings on at Peterborough

So it's costing them £1million a year to play at London Road. The capacity will be down to circa 8k. I feel sorry for them. They must be one of the favourites for relegation next season along with Barnsley and Palarse?

Not only will the capacity shrink with the forced addition of seats, it will undoubtedly drop from being one of the very best away days the country can offer to one of the worst.

Don't know as it'll be one of the worst as peterborough's cracking for pubs, but it isnt going to be the same.

Posh seem to be in the familiar position with development plans they are struggling to fund while trying to keep pace with the existing costs of servicing a mainly old fashioned ground on the limited income from gates averaging around 10k - and all of this is against a backdrop of various interest groups who could compromise their plans. On the face of it there appears to be plenty of vacant land around London Road but most of it is earmarked for other developments. Then there are the nimbys who don't want any development. Difficult to see how they can make ends meet let alone develop the ground without having a very generous benefactor. At this rate we might still get to stand on the Moys Terrace next season.

Plus they are looking to sell on their best / most expensive players, so both on and off the pitch it does not look too rosy for Posh.

Peterborough is fairly dire for pubs. Brewery Tap is good, but not much else of note.

Really? The Palmerston us one of my favourite pubs anywhere... Not to mention the legendary Blue Parrot.

If their attendance will have to drop to 8,000, any idea how that would effect our allocation next season ? Got about 2,000 this season and im guessing we would get at maximum half that for the next season.

We were allocated around 4,500 this season and took 2,000. I reckon we'll get 1,500 which will probably be enough.

Not worth a new thread but I see CMS was up to his old tricks yesterday! He scored for them in a Legends match.

Unfortunately I live in Peterborough.
Pubs are crap, as is the ground and the local council. Trying very hard to think of anything that is better than below average.
The King's school is very good and Ferry Meadows is a good walk in the park, apart from that....

He needs to wear a Peterborough shirt underneath his Albion one in games for us.

Peterborough Cathedral is nice. Queens galore.
