Peterborough United 1 Leicester City 5 Traveling only a third of the distance to the Walkers up the A1 to see the Friendly between the Posh and the City at London Road, it would be interesting to see how the draw against Oxford United the previous Saturday would motivate the City players, especially as Peterborough had beaten a Forest team on the same day. There seemed to be more City shirts around the ground upon arrival, so we asked a steward if it was free seating and do we pay on the gate. “Dunno” was the reply. A folded sheet of paper cost £1 – nice Pic of 3 Posh players - in red! Seeing the ticket office with a queue of 3, we joined the queue, eventually being called to window one where a rather “elderly” lady asked what we wanted. She said “One Wrinkley?” looking at me! Cheek! “Yes please, plus one Adult and one Child in the Leicester end.” She replied “Standing or sitting?” Knowing that the standing was behind the goal we decided upon this option and informed the lady. Expecting about £20 for the 3 tickets (it was a Friendly), she chirped up “That’ll be £44 please, plus 50p if you pay by Debit Card.” We looked at each other in disbelief but as we had come all of 15 miles, decided to pay up! Tickets issued with a nice grin from our lady. Was she on Commission to supplement her pension? Who knows! Arriving at the turnstile, the young lad said “Not in ‘ere mate, you’re in the seats!” and directed us to another turnstile where we were let in and found our seats, but everyone just sat anywhere they chose, so we went for the “best” view (in old wooden seats). Asking where the “free” bar was located received a blank look. No wonder there appeared to be more City fans in the ground than Posh fans, perhaps they all knew how they were being ripped off for a friendly!!!!.... |

The ground is located on the outskirts of the city centre, on the A15 London Road. The ground is fairly well signposted around the town centre. Distance approx 41 miles 1 hour From the North/West:
Drive into the town centre if you follow signs for Whittlesey (A605) this will lead you to the London Road. The new stand is quite visible from some distance away, so keep a lookout. From the South:
Leave the A1 at the junction with the A15. Take the A15 towards Peterborough, you will eventually come to the ground on your right. Pubs
The Cherry Tree pub on Oundle Rd is quite popular with away fans as is the Palmerston Arms which is situated around 100 yards further along Oundle Road on the opposite side.....

Following a number of media stories over the last week concerning either a full takeover of our club, or a significant new investment from a Far East consortium, the Foxes Trust wrote to LCFC Chief Executive, Lee Hoos, asking for fans to be kept informed and requesting a meeting.
The Trust is saddened that even an acknowledgement of the request was not received, but noted within hours of the request being received by the club, a statement was published on its website indicating “no agreement with any parties had been reached and promising that if any concrete agreement was reached that fans would be the first to know.”
The Trust then released some of the contents of the request to Lee Hoos, in the form of a statement to the Leicester Mercury, which was featured in today’s edition as follows: The Foxes Trust has written to Leicester City chief executive Lee Hoos calling for complete transparency over the current negotiations with potential Far Eastern investors. The Trust has appealed for Hoos and owner Milan Mandaric to keep supporters fully informed on the talks with the investment group, after speculation that a deal was close to being agreed. City issued a statement yesterday denying reports that a deal had been done with a Thai consortium and that Mandaric was set to sell 49 per cent of his shares for £26 million and hand over full control next year. However, the Trust called on Mandaric to honour his promise to let the supporters know of any developments. "We don't want a Munto Finance and Notts County situation, where it was shrouded in mystery as to who actually owned the club," said the Trust in a statement..... |
