A very BIG thank-you to everyone at the Posh who defied the bookmakers’ odds and with pride, comfortably retained our Championship status. In this newsletter, we have provided an individual brief on all the current players that will spearhead our 2012 / 2013 campaign to prove the bookies wrong once again. Our 10th AGM will take place at The Cherry Tree, on Monday 22 October and we hope you will join us on the night. Our patron Tommy Robson, will be in attendance, and Bob Symns will also be present to tell us about the latest developments at London Road, and answer your questions on anything Posh. Finally, the evening will conclude with a traditional Posh Quiz from Mick Robinson. The Trust is at the Beer Festival again this year with our road-show for your perusal.

This free service, allows fans to park approximately two miles from the stadium, and be transported to the football ground for arrival about one hour before kick-off.

Bookings are made on a first come basis and include travel for one Carer. If you require transport for additional family/friend members, please contact [email protected] in advance. Hope to see you at the Beer Festival and Our AGM. Up The POSH ! Barry Trust Member Andrew Wintersgill has written a book available now as a kindle edition from Amazon. Andrew, who has been a Posh supporters for 50 years, has written a Fans eye view of the beautiful game celebrated in verse. It is a collection of over a 100 football based poems covering the whole spectrum of the game its many wide and varied aspects from a grass-roots fans perspective. Obviously the London Road influence is not far away! The highs and lows, the joy and tears the changes and turmoil of the last 50 years. Priced at only £2.52 its well worth a read. ‘Posh’ are the Greatest! ………… but which team should we most want to emulate? When Darragh MacAnthony was asked (by this writer as it happens) at his recent book launch at London Rd, which club he most admired in terms of its achievement in going up the leagues, his answer was Swansea City. He said this was because of both the low league position they had come from to reach the ultimate goal of the Premiership, and the way they played football. As a supporters’ trust member there couldn’t have been a better answer. Swansea City are a shining example of how a club should be run and it has done it the hard way by coming from the brink of relegation to the Football Conference as recently as 2002/3, with a necessary win on the very last day of the season. It also came back from the brink of going out of business two years before that when the Australian businessman Tony Petty, who owned an Aussie Rules football team, caused complete turmoil at the club after he bought it in 2001. As a result the Swan’s Trust was formed and it was the Trust which led the effort to put together a consortium which eventually bought the club from him. On the way to doing that, the Trust raised in excess of £50,000 and ended up with a 20% stake in the football club and a director on the board, a situation which has extended to the present day. The fans had rescued the club. The paths of the two clubs have crossed on many occasions, most famously in 1965 when, with Posh’s highest home gate ever, 30,096 were present at London Road in February 1965 for the FA Cup 5th round tie after Posh had knocked out Arsenal in round four. Although the match was drawn, Posh won the replay and went on to lose gallantly at Chelsea in the 6th round. Swansea had dire times in the early 1970’s having their lowest home league gate of just 1,358 in the 1974-1975 season and in the following campaign hit what older fans will recognise as the ultimate football ignominy – applying for re-election to the Football League. In recent years of course, Swansea have gone from strength to strength building the new 20,000 seat capacity Liberty stadium in conjunction with the council, and developing the same free flowing football style under successful managers Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rogers that Darren Ferguson has brought to Posh. All this has been done without spending silly money on bringing in players or on paying excessive wages, at least by Championship and Premier League standards. In their last Championship season they spent just £1.7m on players of which £500,000 was a brilliant investment in Scott Sinclair. Swansea City has also brought on its own players with Joe Allen, who has been associated with the club from the age of nine, now rumored to be on the verge of a £15m move to Liverpool. But apart from showing how a club can successfully rise up the leagues by being well run and playing good football without spending a king’s ransom, it should also be noted that Swansea City have managed it with a population catchment area for fans of around 230,000.

  • Peterborough United by Ensuring All Fans Have a Voice
    Newsletter Issue 49 March 2019 Connecting Club and Community Safeguarding the future of Peterborough United by ensuring all fans have a voice Chair's Notes It’s been a very active time at Posh during the 6 months since our last newsletter publication. In October the Supporters Trust was proud to assist Peter Lane with the official launch of the “Posh Hall of Fame” at the ABAX Stadium. Many of the inductees, or family representatives were in attendance, for an evening of nostalgic memories and stories to honour the 32 members. In excess of £1,200 was raised on the night and donated to Jada-Lea Quow, the daughter of one of the legends we honoured, Trevor Quow. The Trust also held our 16th Annual General Meeting on 22nd November. Ray Cole, John Lawrence and Frank Harburn stepped down from the board at the AGM and we thank them for their excellent contribution to the Trust in recent years. On the pitch with no less than 18 new enthusiastic players seeking to impress and make the first team, Posh were off to a flying start to the season. By the end of September, Posh played 10 league games scoring 26 goals, with 7 wins and 2 draws. Since then, whilst Posh have maintained a play-off position, too many draws, conceding goals and inconsistent performances led to a change of management at the end of January. The Trust welcome Darren Ferguson and Gavin Strachan back to the club and wish Steve Evans and Paul Raynor all the best for the future.
