another load sold if win saturday as well !
10 days and counting!!! and unlike most Posh fans I shall be starting my journey to the game...yes you guessed it...from Brighton
Well everything is set for a cracker, lets just hope both teams get the results this weekend that sets up a a real stay or chance to go top clash.
So what everyones feeling on the visit to London Road, either yr chances, aprehensions, the last chance to stand on the Moyes End Terrace??
Look forward to hearing from everyone... and the banter that sure to start
I'm going to miss it SO much it's untrue.
Have always wondered why the bigger end is given to away supporters?

Always liked Peterborough as an away day, not so much the city (I had a spell working there a few years back and we called it The Farm) but as a ground. Used to have the added bonus of Barry Fry being in charge, who I've always liked. Probably because we've never had him as manager but nevertheless he is funny.
Memories that stick out for me? Gary Hart breaking his leg and some bloke interrupting the minute's silence for the recently deceased Queen Mother (Gawd bless 'er) by singing the line "Where's your Mama gone?" from Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep at top volume 
Cue lots of snorting & barely supressed sniggers all across the away end

Simple really...the ground was developed as it and being London Road, Home supporters take the London Road terrace...plus we like the shorter walk to the pubs and KFC lol
In the old days used to just fit as many as wanted to get in anyway. To think the largest gate is 30,096...imagine that atmoshpere in LR. Since then it is just the Glebe Road terrace that has been replaced by the Family stand and small amount of terrace in front of the North Stand that has been replaced with seats. My father was there and he recalls sittting with all the other kids with his feet on the touchline and the linesman having to run on the pitch.
To be honest I will miss the atmospheres generated because of the number of away fans we can accomodate.
Good luck in the season ahead, hope we both go up!!

Hear hear. Hope we get you away in the FA cup again too. Even if it's the third round. Would rather go there than Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge any day of the week.
In fact it's that terrace, along with the North Stand at the Goldstone, that made me love the Albion and football so much in the first place.
Not sure I will ever be able to face going to Peterborough again after that terrace is gone.
Is your pitch particularly big by the way? We always seemed to have so much space to pass it about there. Maybe that was just Barry Fry's style.

It is known as a fairly big pitch - 112 x 72 (8064 sq yds) I recall. There always was plenty of space with Barry Fry as manager (particularly between his ears in terms of defence) May say the same thing now but thank god for our strike force

I remember that. Quality witty good reason for ruining a minutes silence. God rest her soul.

I can see some very long queues at the turnstiles at around 2.55pm.

I'm glad someone else has remembered it, I was starting to think I'd imagined it.
It was just one of those moments where everyone was sniggering away, but trying desperately hard not to, kind of like when someone farted in assembly at school.
Yes, a tad disrespectful to the old bird I suppose...but HILARIO all the same

got ticket monday was told allocation was 3000 terrace & seats.
Was that the time the club gave us all red and white scarves? I still have mine.
Ordered our tickets on line on Sunday. Anyone know if they've been posting them out yet, as I'm heading up there a week early (don't want to miss kick-off!) and am a bit worried they'll arrive in Cornwall after I've left!

I think Fashanu broke his leg in that game and yes it was packed to the rafters that day.

I just rung shop to buy 2 terrace tickets. Odd, they said they are due in at 3pm, but cannot take my payment details now, as Im not allowed to reserve one!
the next time Im not working when the TO is open is saturday morning.
If they know they are coming, why the heck can't they sell them to me?
