Boston saga continues

The attitude of Peterborough is a disgrace.I'm sure they have a reason,I would love to hear it.Shame on them. Good luck Boston fans(but not at our expense mind).
 
Despite Barry Fry's sound bites, Peterborough and Boston are actually rivals. The holding company may be thinking that they would allienate their own fans by helping Boston out. There is also the question of where the money comes from to use the ground ?

The advantage to Peterborough if Boston go bust is that they may also get a few floating fans.

Peterborough's attitude is the club want Boston to play their game at London Road. Only problem is Peterborough do not own the ground so have no input in the matter. The ground is owned by a property developer called Colin Hill who lives abroad and has nothing whatsoever to do with the club.

Shame on you for mouthing off on a subject you obviously know sweet FA about.

You are talking total rubbish, do you realise how far Boston is from Peterborough, floating fans pmsl. The holding company do not have any fans !!!! They are nothing at all to do with Peterborough United FC. the holding co is owned by a property developer.
 
Poshfan - do you know who you are disagreeing with? I think you'll find he's right....... even when he's wrong.
 
Obviously from my time spent in Sin City I didn't speak to the Peterborough fans who have the same views as you but the ones who did actually look forward to playing Boston in the league. If you insist thats the minority then fair enough but it's not easy to find many of them when you live there. :rolleyes:

Yes it's just over 30 miles, which I think makes Peterborough the nearest league team to Boston by a couple of miles,I'm sure you will point me in the right direction if I'm wrong.

Can't be that much of a trek seeing as the Boston manager lives in Peterborough. :)
 
Whats all the argument about? These teams are on the edges of the fens;with global warming and rising sea levels, both of 'em will be under ten feet of water within the next couple of years.

Where did I say anything about anyone not looking forward to playing Boston ? I merely pointed out that London Road is owned by a private company (PUHL) who have nothing to do with Peterborough United, apart from being the clubs landlord.

The nearest other league team to Boston is Lincoln, not Peterborough as you think.

According to AA routefinder the journey Peterborough to Boston is 35.4 miles the journey will take you an average time of 52 minutes.

Cant see many Boston fans becoming Posh fans in the future as they could only be bothered to bring 200 supporters to London road to watch their team.

Right then,the attitude of your landlord is a disgrace.I don't care if I lived on Mars,if its about football and a situation such as this,Boston should be getting help from any other football club that is in a position to do so.Can't quite see where Mr Hill would come into it as I presume your club would hold a lease and that would at least cover them till the end of the season(probably longer.) They could agree and advise Mr Hill of their intentions.Hill has nothing to loose as the game would be played inside of the lease agreement time frame.Actually,the more I think about it,the more I am disgusted with your club.:mad:
