    Hey all. I know its rather early, but I thought it might be a good idea to find and post info on where to stay in Peterborough if need be.

    Hotels
    There are several options for the travelling fan in the center of the city, and i will post a selection of reviews on those with in a mile or two.

    Park Inn By Radisson Peterborough
    This is with in a 10 minute walk of the ground and very much in the city center. It is a well known brand and therefore less risky. However you do pay for what you get. It will cost £60 for the night arriving on the 21st and leaving on the 22nd.

    Queensgate Hotel
    This 3* hotel is with in 5mins of London road stadium. This is a smaller hotel, but it is nearer and does come with free internet. There are good reviews on the site, but obviously they are hand chosen to reflect well. It will set you back between £40 and £60 depending on the choice of Bed and Breakfast or Standard.

    Aragon House Hotel
    This is a 3* B&B just 5 or so mins from the stadium. It offers both standard and B&B rates at £20-£30 respectively. The rooms are basic but again cost reflects that. It is rated at 4.5 out of 5 by 39 people. So not too bad. There is room service, internet in the public areas and wake up calls if need be.

    Clark's guest house
    The guest house is equipped with a 10 M/bit wireless internet connection for guests who have brought our special weekly rate. Less than 10 minutes off the A1(M) the guest house is also on a main bus route to the city centre and the railway station is a few minutes walk away. It is 5-10mins to the football ground. It will cost you £35 for the one night in a single room. It received 5* out of 5 from six reviews.

    Queens Walk Guest House
    This is a small 6 bedroom guest house located 10mins from the stadium. It will cost £35 for the night in a single room. However there are no credit card facilities. It has received good reviews from its customers.

    Pubs
    I will add info on pubs and restaurants at a later time, when i have more info from the Posh fans.

    I would attempt it, but i am not too sure on the geography of Southampton, I will try and then amend as need be. I like the idea of the group so we can keep track of the attendees, but we are never going to stop the chatter on here lol.
