    It was 1980 when I left Peterboro and moved to Ireland. Forward on to 2023, October v Lincoln. Won 2-0.. Sitting in London Road ( it wont ever be called anything else in my eyes) feeling like a 13 yr old again lol. I'm going back home again in March. Promotion is definitely happening yet again!! Up the Posh!!!!

    Great video.
    Just to note about the stand at the far end. Its historically called the Moys End, the current all-seater opened in 2014 carrying a sponsored name. Firstly the Motorpoint Stand, currently the DeskGo Stand.
    It is held back to provide a flexible away allocation.
    Small allocations get the left side of the Main Stand.
    Medium allocations get the DeskGo.
    Large allocations get both.
    We don’t sell season tickets in there, and if away fans aren’t in there, we’re normally giving tickets to schools and local youth football clubs.

    Brought back memories when I was a mechanical apprentice i drove up to Peterborough in my old Hillman Minx car on Boxing day to see Gills draw 2 all with the posh. It was a good game with good banter between rival supporters following our both teams getting promoted from division 4 together. Sadly when i turn off the M2 at Gillingham I blew my car up due to lack of oil 😢 UTG
