so the away stand is no more,does that mean even less allocation next season

The last proper kop (at least in the League) has been demolished? I don't believe it, I demand photographic evidence!

thats what i was told,hoping someone on here could confirm

 

[bobby smith]

Are they re-building it ?

 

[Nottseagull]

I'd have thought they would just put seats in, like at Rotherham. Hopefully Notters will be on here soon as this is one of his areas of expertise

No, they haven't started the work yet, I started a thread on posh.net this afternoon.

Can't see why we would need such a big allocation without that terrace, it won't be nearly so appealing. It's still going to be the same size as the away end at the Amex.

Lol

A posh fan posted on here yesterday that they haven't even got permission for it yet, so if we're lucky with the fixture arranger then we might have one last use of it.

This was the last season for the terrace , seats are being put in and will bring down the away capacity by 1,500 I reckon as everyone will be seated behind the goal and the 2 blocks down the side. Away capacity should be 2,500.

As the away end is going to be all seater will Peterborough still let clubs have those couple of blocks in the side stand as well for large followings ?

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

give Posh a miss Cardiff's a far better proposition

Wasn't the angle of the terrace rather shallow? Don't know how it will be with loads of seats in it, unless they alter the angle to give everyone a good view

Sad news if true. I've had many happy moments on that terrace starting with the FA Cup 5th Round crush in the eighties, through Zamora's promotion clincher to the WFB game last year. Never lost there. Expect the worst next season now.

There is plenty of space to build back on the end and the side where away fans go.

The Council own the ground, so you'd think getting planning permission for any redevelopment wouldn't be a problem.

Found this interesting compilation of interviews.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

On a different note, looks like they're going to be spending a lot of money on players this summer...

BBC Sport - Peterborough United line up 'record fee' striker

 

[hastings]

So they are going to spend what...£500k??

Oh look record fee broken. Will wait with bated breath on this one.

There again, the Council owned the land at Falmer.......

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

There again, the Council owned the land at Falmer.......

And still do.

As I said, the terrace is at a really shallow angle. Hope they don't just bolt seats to it, like behind the goal at Pompey. Zero leg room
