We start drinking at 6am and then have more time in the pub afterwards to celebrate the win!

Wahey! :D

A man with a plan. Me like.

They'll have more problems with McDons than us. I know Dons fans who hate Posh.

Ok, so she was the least talented of the Spice Girls, and her hubby scored a flukey goal against them, but that was all years ago. :dunno:

On average, less than one.

We might get one or two max.

Given how crap we are on TV, I would be glad if Sky ignored us this coming season.

This thread has descended into a farce.

The fact it has taken 3 pages is quite impressive though.

PETERBOROUGH United's hardly-anticipated home games against Cheltenham, Swindon and MK Dons next season will have their kick-off times brought forward to help prevent Boredom in the city.

Within hours of the League One fixture list being announced Cambridgeshire police requested the new kick-off time, with officers meeting Posh director Barry Fry to thrash out a plan to prevent complete apathy on matchdays.

The two sides agreed to bring forward the games against Cheltenham Town on October 4, Hereford Town on Boxing Day and MK Dons on March 28, next year, to noon, from their scheduled kick-off times of 3pm.

Posh director of football Barry Fry said: "The kick-off times have been brought forward on the advice of the police.

"We have to work together, and we're happy to go along with that because we want to protect the one sort of nearly nice bit of Peterborough.

"Cheltenham, Hereford and MK Borrowers fans have a reputation of either not turning up for matches or falling asleep, and we want to give them less time trainspotting etc before kick-off."

Police said the three clubs had a record of lethargy and their fans were "less than well turned out" last season.Chief Inspector Nick Knight said: "Bringing the kick-off forward will reduce the amount of time fans are forced to spend in the city, and will reduce the amount of sudoku and crossword time they will have prior to a match.

"The idea is for them to go straight to the ground when they arrive, enjoy a free camp bed and complementary shower and go home refreshed, instead of having to watch silly football and stretching their arms up."

All three clubs are expected to bring 2 supporters to London Road for their matches against Posh, and at least 100 officers are likely to be called up to ensure they are not disturbed.

Won't be surpised to see other games being brought forward as well. Most likely Millwall away and maybe a few others.

I'm sure the home game against Peteboro will still be at 3.

I never suggested they were angels at any point lol

I was more getting at the fact that you shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush, and that many Ultras aren't hooligans. If someone mentioned Ultras to you the first thing that springs to your mind is Violence, because it is over-reported, yet you probably know very little of the community work even some of the Italian Ultras do.

Very similar to how the British media made no-fuss over the violence at the on-going euros.

As for Eastern Europe, I think the problem of the violence is something slightly more than just hooliganism!!

PETERBOROUGH United's hotly-anticipated home games against Leeds, Leicester and Millwall next season will have their kick-off times brought forward to help prevent hooliganism in the city.

Within hours of the League One fixture list being announced Cambridgeshire police requested the new kick-off time, with officers meeting Posh director Barry Fry to thrash out a plan to prevent off-field trouble on matchdays.

The two sides agreed to bring forward the games against Leeds United on October 4, Millwall on Boxing Day and Leicester City on March 28, next year, to noon, from their scheduled kick-off times of 3pm.

Posh director of football Barry Fry said: "The kick-off times have been brought forward on the advice of the police.

"We have to work together, and we're happy to go along with that because we want to protect the city of Peterborough.

"Leeds, Leicester and Millwall fans have a reputation, and we want to give them less time in the pubs before kick-off."

Police said the three clubs had a record of disorder and their fans were "less than well behaved" last season.

Chief Inspector Nick Knight said: "Bringing the kick-off forward will reduce the amount of time fans are in the city, and will reduce the amount of drinking time they will have prior to a match.

"The idea is for them to go straight to the ground when they arrive, enjoy a game of football and go home, instead of heading for the city centre, causing trouble and stretching police resources."

All three clubs are expected to bring thousands of supporters to London Road for their matches against Posh, and at least 100 officers are likely to be called up to police the ground and the city centre.

Nice to be singled out with Leeds and Millwall

Barry Fry, you have a reputation for being a Grade A tosspot, and most likely YOU will be in the pub before kick-off.

Sorry just had a fantastic image of Big Barry sitting in the local having a pint whilst the 9:48 train mob from Leicester rocks up in P'Boro all carrying bricks lead by LD3.

Not a chance, if they were lead by me they'd miss the train.

Leicester have an army of hardened outlaws who like to take their shoes off and, on occasions, have been known to sit down in the middle of a street (not even their own street!).

On a different note: Peterborough Police have a 'Zero Tolerance' policing approach (some trial initiative I believe). I remember being on a night out there and they refused to let people stand outside bars and night clubs - you either go in, go home or you feel their wrath (I actually saw someone take a lashing across the back of the legs).

Although it's a joke of a 'city', i wouldn't piss off their police...

Ah fook it, it's still only 10 minutes on the train from Grantham. I was at the away games when we played them in the 90's and they do think they are harder than they are but we'll see. I agree with Jay, I think it's more to do with the amount of away fans going and the fact it's a 'Midlands' derby than the thought that it will kick off.

Why is that? As much as I love Leicester, Peterborough's city centre in general is better laid out. Or did you mean something totally different?

This really should be on Central Soccer on a Sunday lunchtime hosted by Dennis Coathe, commentated on by Alan Parry with touchline reaction by Gary Newbon....
