You don't win back to back winner of worst place in the country and then start attracting tourism off the back of it.
Even if the house of fiddling is the one nice thing in the place.

I have to confess to having a look around to see how the poor folk of Peterborough live when we played them the season before last.
The highlight of the cathedral was the picture on the ceiling of a local bog dweller engaged in the traditional Peterborough pursuit of goat racing, while holding an owl and facing the wrong way.
I also went to the Museum and Art Gallery which had some eye-opening exhibitions about the depravity of life in their Peterborough slums

I do hope you have since been checked over by a GP, not all conditions you can pick up in that place are immediately visible.

It was great listening to Fergie sound more and more like his old man. No referee is going to blow the final whistle whilst the ball is pinging around the 6 yard box after the initial penalty save. Evatt and the Bolton fans would have lynched him on the penalty spot there and then.

You don't win back to back winner of worst place in the country and then start attracting tourism off the back of it. Even if the house of fiddling is the one nice thing in the place. They got a hattrick, winners in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Finished fourth two years ago and second last year. Despite all of that, and my obvious detest of the football club, I actually think Stevenage is worse as a place. Peterborough seems to suffer more with poverty and things like drug addiction, so feels quite dirty and run down, but the people in general (a few idiot fans aside) seem harmless enough. Stevenage is nicer from an aesthetic point of view but seems to be more full of absolute tools. If Peterborough is the drunk who has passed out in a bin and p*ssed itself, Stevenage is the angry drunk who is trying to fight random old ladies outside Bingo because it's angry but isn't sure why.

I would disagree. I had the disadvantage of living out of a B&B near their job centre for a while and could regale you with endless anecdotes starring people old enough to know better just from that short time. At least the scrotes that follow you around in Stevenage haven't left school yet.

My post was that our allocation for away fans was sold out. I don't think Boro have ever sold out the home allocation for any of the previous games.

No they won't sell out the home end, infact if you have blue light discount you can tickets for free to go to some of their home games including the Derby.
Must be getting desperate to try and entice fans to watch them!
