    I believe they've done a deal to stay at the Ricoh until the end of the season.

    They hope to exit administration and see where the new owners can make an arrangement for them to play.

    Apparently Nene Park is available. I knew Rushden and Diamonds had gone from there a while ago, but I didn't realise until the other day that Kettering had as well. All about 3rd time lucky.

    Aah, that's a bit of a drop in attendance.

    This is going to hurt Coventry bad, Plymouth/Luton-esque IMO.

    Is Nene Park bigger than London Road then?

    Or are Posh struggling financially?

    Because I got the impression that Posh are a well run little Club.

    Not that they fill London Road every week (at least I don't think they do), but Nene Park is about 9,000 smaller (and 25 miles away), but Posh's lease runs out at the end of next season. They're not currently considering Nene Park as an option, but they did enquire, which suggests they're seriously looking to get out of their council owned ground and it's just a case of finding somewhere that makes financial sense.

    Makes sense now. I've been out of the loop news wise because without Not606 (because of the Malware attack) I've had no incentive to come on the PC. Got some catching up to do!

    I found out when I went looking for "Nene Park capacity" in Google and when I got as far as Nene Park it added Peterborough in one of the dropdown options.
