STOP PRESS! - STOP PRESS! Several PUFC Club Statements were issued late February and the first week of March. 1) Regarding the departure of Grant McCann, 2) The appointment Steve Evans and 3) The announcement of new co-owners Jason Neale and Stewart Thompson. As a result we have produced this supplement to say a few words on these events. Grant McCann The Posh Supporters Trust was sad to see the Posh legend Grant McCann leave the club. We would like to express our appreciation for the work he put into the club as manager over the last 21 months and wish him well for the future. In his first full season as Manager the Posh finished 11th in League 1 and got through to the 3rd Round of the FA Cup where we lost to the Premier League leaders Chelsea. This season started well for Grant winning the August League One Manager of the Month award and leading Posh to the top of League One with a perfect record of four straight wins with a 12- 4 goal differential. In January his Posh side beat Aston Villa 3-1 in the FA Cup before being knocked out by Leicester City in the 4th round Sadly, inconsistent league results more recently didn't go our way and as a result the club parted company with him on the 25th February. As a player Grant made over 180 Football League appearances for the Posh between 2010 and 2015 scoring 29 goals. He played and scored in the League One play off final at Old Trafford against Huddersfield Town in May 2011 and also played in our Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final win against Chesterfield at Wembley in March 2014. His free-kicks around the penalty area were legendary. Thank you Grant for some great memories. We wish you every success in the future. Steve Evans The Posh Supporters Trust welcome the new manager, Steve Evans to the Posh and hope his time at the club is a successful one. Steve, who lives locally has been a Posh Fan for many years, is delighted with his new job. Steve has a very good record as Manager, he has given 100% commitment to every club he has managed leading Boston Utd and Crawley Town into the Football League, and Rotherham Utd to successive promotions. With 12 league games left this season, and 36 points still available, the Trust urge all Posh fans to get behind Steve and the team as he leads us back to the Championship, and by the time his current contract comes to an end, Posh will have dislodged Celtic as the club closest to his heart! New Posh co-owners The Posh Supporters Trust would like to welcome Stewart Thompson and Jason Neale to PUFC and we look forward to engaging face to face with the club's new co-owners and Directors in the very near future. Both new co-owners have been successful in their previous ventures and will be bringing money and business expertise into the club which can only be good news. There are some details to be clarified about their co-ownership, which we hope to learn very soon, but looking forward, the PST will be seeking to establish their strategy for the future of the football club and the plans they have to build their relationship with the Posh fan base through supporters organisations like the PST. The Trust movement believes a football club is not just a financial asset but an integral part of the local community with all sorts of valid stakeholders - especially supporters. The ABAX Stadium - London Road Finally there has been lots of talk and speculation in the local press and on the club's website regarding the club bringing the stadium back into club ownership. With the arrival of our new co-owners, it now looks like the Posh will be re-united with its ground at long last. And we all must ensure it stays that way. Assuming the Football Club and the Stadium and reunited in the very near future, The Trust is fairly confident that our football club and Stadium are once again in safe hands and secured for the future generations of Posh supporters and the community as a whole. The Trust will remain vigilant, and continue to advocate and safeguard the stadium’s A.C.V status (Asset of Community Value) and the 1955 Covenants, which keeps the ground secure for recreation purposes only, and to ensure the ground remains part of the football club. The right for the City Council to have first refusal / right to buy the ground back, should ensure we have no repeat of the ownership issues of the past. Up the Posh!

Gill was one of the founder members of the Trust, along with her husband and former secretary Peter. They were part of a steering group that established the Trust as an entity prior to the official launch in March 2003. As Directors, both Gill and Peter dedicated a lot of their time to the Trust for over 6 years, working tirelessly to help us form a very credible society. Gill and Peter retired and emigrated to Australia in 2009. Former Board Members, will remember Gill for her dedication and hospitality when she readily made her home available to us Gill Williams R.I.P. for board meetings, providing Tea and Biscuits without fail. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> “The Posh Supporters Trust” Connecting Club and Community Visit our Website : www.theposhtrust.co.uk E-Mail us : [email protected] The Posh Supporters Trust.

Registration No. 29533R with the Financial Conduct Authority Newsletter printed by ‘Printing Matters’ at Sawtry. Email : [email protected] Welcome to our latest newsletter, I hope you will find interesting and informative. Your feedback is welcomed! It’s our “Birthday” The 10th March 2018 is exactly 15 years to the day since the Posh Supporters' Trust was officially launched at the Cresset, one of the articles in our newsletter provides details of what has happened in the fifteen years the PST has been active. As for the present, for those of you who can remember from the last newsletter my dreams for the Posh this season, (as they have been since I started supporting the Posh) was promotion and to win the FA Cup! (though I would have accepted the Checkatrade Trophy in place of the FA Cup!) and up until the end of January the dream was still on! but sadly defeats against Lincoln and Leicester has put paid to my Wembley dreams. However we are still in with a chance of promotion through the play-offs and it's really good that the Chairman has shown his commitment to the club and our promotion push by holding on to our on-field prized assets, plus signing George Cooper and Joe Ward on a permanent basis as well as signing Omar Bogle on- loan and re-signing Jonathan Bond. Let’s hope we can now repay Darragh, and go on a good run to be in the top 6 come 7.30pm on Saturday 5th May. Thinking about next season, the season ticket prices for 2018/19 was announced by the club in February, with discounts available to existing season ticket holders until 4th March. The Trust, PISA and Forever-Posh were involved in pricing discussions with the club, who took on board our feedback and have implemented some of our suggestions. There are some really good deals available. New season ticket holders will have until 31st March to buy a season ticket at the initial discounted rate. You can even spread the cost of a season ticket over 4 or 10 months with the clubs partner Zebra Finance. The Trust meets with the Club at the fans liaison meeting every month to discuss anything Posh. The club want to know the views of Posh fans, their gripes and experiences to enhance the match day experience.

We extend a warm welcome to the management, players and directors from Stamford and hope they enjoy our hospitality. It has been a somewhat unique preparation for this game following two weeks of enforced isolation for the squad. We trust in the players fitness levels and where possible, the lads have been trying to get workouts done in gardens and living rooms during their isolation. It is frustrating to have been given the enforced break after a very good win and performance at Spalding. As I have talked about previously, we are pleased with our performance levels on the whole and now must address the issue of turning good performances into wins; especially at home! As always, we are a very positive management team and we have tried to use the two weeks as best we can. After a hectic start to the season, it does give us the chance to freshen the legs a little and be hungry to go again this weekend. It has also given us the opportunity to bring a couple of players into the squad. We are delighted that Lee Smith and Zach Foster have joined the football club. Central midfielder Lee signs from neighbours Hednesford. After almost joining us in the summer, he will add undoubted quality, aggression and physical presence to our squad and we are pleased to get him on board.

    Main Sponsor Umbro is a British sportswear and football equipment supplier based in Cheadle, Greater Manchester. The company is currently a subsidiary of Iconix Brand Group. Umbro designs, sources, and markets football-related apparel, footwear, and equipment. Its products are sold in over 90 countries worldwide. The company was founded by Harold Humphreys, along with his brother Wallace in a small workshop in Wilmslow, Cheshire, inspired by the growing interest in football witnessed nationwide. The name "Umbro" is a quasi-portmanteau inspired from Humphreys Brothers Clothing. Umbro's kit debut was in the 1934 FA Cup final, when both teams Manchester City and Portsmouth wore uniforms designed and manufactured by the company. Other teams supplied by Umbro during the 1930s and 1940s were Sheffield United, Preston North End, Manchester United and Blackpool. Umbro was the official sports manufacturer of the English FA Cup and official sponsor of The FA, being the exclusive supplier of balls to the body's leagues. In 1952, the British team at the Summer Olympics wore Umbro kits, tailored for the needs of their individual sports. Umbro would supply kits for the British Olympics team for the next 20 years. In 1957 Umbro entered the tennis market, producing sports clothing in collaboration with player Ted Tinling. This collaboration extended for three decades. Another sportsman who collaborated with Umbro was Manchester United manager Matt Busby, in 1959. That same year the company started to sell its junior boys' kits, a set of shirt, shorts and socks that would allow young players to wear the same look as their footballing idols.
